Rating: 5 out of 5

It was only after I started reading this that I found out this is the fifth book in the Love series, but it is easily able to be read as a standalone book. However it was when I had finished it I knew I just wanted to go and buy all the series as I loved it and I wanted to know about Reid! I know the others are not m/m but I read all genres so a series that encapsulates all is a winner for me. Even better when I checked my kindle – I already had book one in my TBR list. Result!This book touches on so many issues that in parts it was gut wrenching, especially in the first half which concentrates on young Dylan, his acceptance of his sexuality and his love for his best friend Shane. Oh Shane, that boy had me in bits, I just wanted to squeeze him HARD. But the hard part was what happened to him. I just didn’t want to leave him and move on (with Dylan) to the next stage of his life which having gone through such devastating loss at a young age, he is now closed off. He doesn’t do relationships after Shane, he keeps himself locked in his lonely life. After all – who could ever replace his Shane? But then along comes Conner – ah Conner, you sexy, sexy man with your tattoos and bulk. I didn’t stand a chance. Oh and Dylan, sweet, gorgeous Dylan – how you pulled on my heartstrings.I absolutely loved this book and the depth of emotion it rung out of me. Yes there was lots of ugly crying, happy clapping and oh wah-hoot! lots of sexy smexy times, but it was unmissable (is that a word?) Anyhow it’s a definite high recommend and a five star rating from me. Brilliant!
