Is spending the rest of your life with your true love worth changing everything you thought you knew about yourself?

Ben Forman has been told his entire life that being gay is wrong. Ben’s parents refused to accept that their other son, Noah, was gay and behaved horribly toward him. After meeting Micah Trains, Ben is starting to seriously consider admitting that he is gay in order to be with Micah. Ben must work through this life-altering event while developing a romantic partnership with Micah, rebuilding his relationship with his brother, and trying to prevent the destruction of his relationship with his parents.

The entire story is told from Ben’s point of view as a narrative of his life. This worked really well in this story since Ben is not only an extremely interesting person, but also has a lot of emotional issues. He actually knows he has these issues and makes a point of telling the reader, adding a touch of humor to the story. Micah was a brilliant lawyer, handsome, mature, and also very loving.

The romance between Ben and Micah was very sweet, extremely steamy, and believable. There were quite a few excellent conversations between not only Ben and Micah, but also with Ben and his brother and brother’s friends. It was hard on Micah watching Ben struggle to come out, but he was extremely understanding, especially when Ben groveled appropriately. I loved the extended epilogue that takes us almost 2 years out into their relationship.

The narrative of this story was wonderfully engaging, providing the reader with the sense that they are living the story. I loved this book and highly recommend it to those who enjoy character-driven romances.
