OMG....only the most fabulous Tara Lain could write a book where one of the main characters is a guy I despised when he showed up in other books, and have me loving him by the end of the story. I love every one of these 'Balls to the Walls' books and this one is no different.I fell madly in love with Jerry in Rod and Hunter's story so it came as a bit of a surprise to discover I liked him even more, now. It was Mick who broke my heart, though. Genius level IQ and not an ounce of people skills. What I always assumed was just plain meanness was actually partly because he was drinking a lot before to escape some of the beliefs he grew up with, and partly because he simply doesn't know how to relate to people. Mick's dad is a horrid right wing fundamentalist crackpot preacher who believes gays are the reason for every bad thing in the world. Yep, one of those!It was heartbreaking watching Mick struggle to accept he was gay, and then have to fight everything he was ever told in order to live his life and be himself. Hell, he didn't even know who he was. With a guy like Jerry loving him, Mick couldn't go wrong, and certainly not with the support of Rod and Hunter, too.I loved absolutely everything about this book! Thank you, Tara, for telling Jerry and Mick's story!
