Review: A lot of promise in this story

Favorite quote: He ignored the pain and concentrated on the taste -blood and cigaretes, coffee and pure man.This story had a lot of promise, I liked the idea of 2 men being given custody of their 6 nieces and nephews and to some extent it was good. The point of view changes between Brad and Cash, usually I don’t have a problem with that but these two guys were so similar that I kept losing track. Also we were never given a very good physical description of them so I found them hard to picture. Keeping with the not given many details theme a lot of the book deals with Cash’s wish to move the whole family to Texas, but we are never told where they are now, so again, I could not imagine how this might affect the children. There is also weird bit where Cash tells Brad he is gay but I’m not sure Cash knows Brad is … although he has probably worked it out by the time they start kissing! The steamy parts are nicely steamy and the struggle of becoming over night parents is well done, as is how they treat the children who have lost their parents. And the interference of Brad’s mother is also nicely written- I would have slapped her! I also liked the cover with the footprints of the whole family although I really don’t know why there was snow as I don’t remember Christmas (or winter) being mentioned!
