Even teenagers aren’t that resilient and there would be some sort of backlash from that. And after all that, Silas is seemingly fine emotionally. Silas barely escaped alive and became homeless while nursing some pretty major injuries. His mother was also abused and was basically his father’s puppet. He was stuck in a family with a father who abused him emotionally and physically for YEARS. Here are my issues with the book: Silas was forced to come out by someone who shouldn’t have outed him which caused major devastation. If it were to be expanded to a full novel, it could be incredible. The story really needed to be a full novel to work…there was way too much going on.

He put emotion in the performance but at times the voice bothered me a bit. The vocal performer was ok…he had several distinguishable voices for the characters. The sensual times are pretty smokin’ and the romance is ooey and gooey enough even for my sappy soul! Audio Derrick McClain does a tremendous job with this! I loved the accents he used – G’s partner has a mix of Irish and South Boston… awesome! Silas and Gael are both as I’d “picture” them in my head and as always he’s great with the emotion and pacing as well. There is a bit of drama with Silas’ family and a bit of worry about their ages, but really, the love story itself is almost completely without angst. When he sees “G” he also immediately falls for the (much) older man. Silas has a lot of story for only being 19 years old.

His normal hands-off approach to dating falls away as he can’t help but dive into the messy life that is Silas. Gael (pronounced Guy – el) is an amazingly sappy and sweet soul who finds a broken and beaten, half-dead Silas in an alley and immediately falls under his spell.
