I gave this book 5 stars as I understand the author has put a great deal of thought and effort to rewrite this story based on her first writing done many years ago.  I highly recommend this novel.I found the main characters to be well developed and I found myself touched by Eric’s struggles and challenges to integrated his past into his future.  Like most of us, we can be lead through life living and re-living the pain, hurt and fears of our past or to somehow rise above them and to be our own person.Unlike Eric, Nick’s youth was the all American dream.  He too has to face the challenge of living the life that others expect of him, or to be brave enough to be his own person.Though the experiences and challenges may be more or less dramatic than most gay men face in coming out dealing with the fear of rejection and pain, I found the circumstances these characters were placed in by the author to be well constructed.  Many romantic gay novels focus on sex or stereotypical plot lines.  I particularly enjoyed the authors attention to the creation of a story that was interesting, believable and rewarding to read.The other reviews of this book say many of the same things that I could add, but I don’t need to be redundant.  As a reader, there is more than enough feedback given by all of the reviews to determine if this is novel is of interest to you.
