One of the fun things, for me, about reading B.G. Thomas’ books is that he tends to have characters and places appear from one book in another even though they are not actually a series. I love this. Now we have this first in a series, Spring Affair, from the new Season’s of Love series and this book focuses on Sloan McKenna, who we met briefly in the book Hound Dog & Bean.Sloan’s mother has recently passed away. They were very close and her passing has been difficult for Sloan. He lives alone in the house now and sees his mother everywhere, from the floral sofa to the lovely blooms just now appearing in her gardens. Luckily, Sloan has his three best friends who, along with himself, make up the Fabulous Four. They get together regularly and while this has been wonderful for Sloan during his grieving, at the same time even they can feel overwhelming. The friends are Asher, Wyatt and Scott, all with very different personalities, but somehow it seems to work for them.I thoroughly enjoyed the development of the relationship between Sloan and Max.  The secondary characters give the story depth and I can't wait to see where the author takes us with their stories.Of all the books I have read by this author, this one seems to be the one most introspective for the characters. It is a complex look into what being gay means to each man in the story. What they think it means in our current society and how it was for them during their childhood and teen years.Overall, I enjoyed this book very much. The characters are engaging and the storytelling pulled me into their lives. I was pleased with the conclusion and I am happily looking forward to the next book in the series.
