This novel has earned a 5-star rating as it strips away fantasy as Justin is awkward, withdrawn, jaded and looks down on the world.  As the story unfolds, Justin is in for a ride as everything he thought about his world is turned upside down. This story was difficult for me as the experiences Justin faces are similar to those I too have faced. Fearless is a great title for this book as Justin leaves the comfort of his darkened world and confronts his fears and discovers himself.As Justin lets go of his prejudices and preconceived notions and discovers Liam is so much more than he appears to be, we are challenged to let go of our judgments and preconceived notions and to have an open mind to others who are different than ourselves.  Being a 60 year old gay male, I have found that the people I have become closest too are so much different than myself. As human beings, no matter how different we may think we are, we are far more alike on so many levels. Being open minded, honest about who we are and given a chance, we discover those similarities and can build upon that common ground.I recommend "Fearless" to those readers that are looking for a deeper story of human experience. This is not your quintessential gay romance story as it is so much more on so many levels. If you dare to read this novel, you will laugh, cheer and appreciate the blessings we take for granted. "Fearless" is an inspiring story that will make you think and perhaps help you to discover ways you can walk through fear and take charge of your life.
