4.5 of 5 stars~ Review by BrandilynFor original review see The Prism Book Alliance Blog onlineI read the first Tales of Kansas story a few months ago and enjoyed it. I like Stuck in Oz just a little bit more. It was a quick story, but Jeremy and Nate just called to be wrapped in a gigantic hug. Poor Jeremy has grown up with an absent father and a crappy mother. Sorry, there isn’t any other way to describe her. He does not see anything as permanent and can’t believe he is worthy of affection from anyone. Nate has grown up in a loving environment but has a few skeletons of his own. Together they have instant chemistry, but one’s fear of the unknown and the other’s fear of his tormenters makes for some tense moments.As with most of Andrew Grey’s romance novels, I would classify Stuck in Oz as a comfort read. While his characters deal with less than ideal situations, they do so with grace and maturity, well usually. You want to wrap them up and take them home with you where they will be safe but at the same time you know they are strong persons who just needed a little guidance to see the good inside themselves.Tales from Kansas is a series in name only. The common thread is the town. Roger and Lyle from book one only make a cameo appearance in Stuck, though Grey did setup a potential sequel with Uncle Milt that I would not mind reading.
