I was so happy to see the Blue Boys again! This installment is a bit different from what we read in Bullet, which I loved. However, I found I didn’t love this one quite as much. There is a lot going on here, which I think drew the focus away from the central characters making it more difficult for me to connect with them. On the flip side, there were things that I really enjoyed here that were not present in book 1.Cam goes through quite a bit here. He is struggling with his job at Blue Boy, mainly due to not getting the jobs/scenes he wants. That all leads to his dysfunctional relationship with his boss, Jon. Cam knows it is unhealthy and not really much of an actual relationship, but he cannot seem to resist Jon or what Jon is able to bring out in him. That said, Jon is a total prick.He meets Sasha and believes he found someone he could have a real actual relationship with, but things stand in their way forcing them to be just friends. This works out well for them though, especially once it becomes known that they share a major commonality. It was nice to see Cam had so much support when he needed it most, from his wonderful family, to Sasha and his friends, Sonny and Levi.There is also Sonny and Levi, who are having some issues of their own. Sonny is one of Cam’s best friends, so we see a little more of him than we do Levi. We end up getting a clearer picture of what Sonny’s problems are, but they play a big factor into his and Levi’s relationship issues. I’m really hoping we get so see more about this in the future.New guys have taken over Blue Boys and have big plans to revamp and re-energize everything involved. They are both very interesting, and I found I really wanted to know more about them. I was left wondering what happened with Jon so suddenly and about his abrupt disappearance and wished we had a little more closure here. But, it appears Blue Boy is headed for bigger and better things in the future. I’m excited about where things might head from here and cannot wait for the next installment. Garrett remains on my auto-read list, as this was yet another solid edition to add to my shelf.Overall Impression:  I really liked it
