Carrick Francis has spent most of his life jumping into trouble with both feet. The only thing saving him from prison or worse is his absolute devotion to Deacon Winters. Deacon was Crick's sanity and salvation during a miserable, abusive childhood, and Crick would do anything to stay with him forever. So when Deacon's father dies, Crick puts his college plans on hold to help Deacon as Deacon has helped him.Deacon's greatest wish is to see Crick escape his memories and the town they grew up in so Crick can enjoy a shining future. But after two years of growing feelings and temptation, the painfully shy Deacon finally succumbs to Crick's determined advances and admits he sees himself as part of Crick's life.
It nearly destroys Deacon when he discovers Crick has been waiting for him to push him away, just like Crick's family did in the past. When Crick's knack for volatile decisions lands him far away from home, Deacon is left, shell-shocked and alone, struggling to reforge his heart in a world where love with Crick is a promise, but by no means a certainty.

Raw and angsty, classic Amy Lane!
Oh, but this book was amazing! I don't know how I've missed this series until now as the Author and the Narrator are both favorites for me. Better late than never has never been more true!
Crick (Carrick) and Deacon are childhood friends, the closest thing to family either of them have aside from Deacon's father, Parish. As they grow from boys to teenagers and eventually become men their ever evolving relationship becomes something so much more than just friends, family, lovers. Through thick and thin, to hell and back, Crick and Deacon do the best they can to keep their heads above water and stay true to who they are as both individuals and a couple.
What I truly enjoyed most about this story was the fact that these two men are far from perfect and Lane captured that perfect imperfection beautifully. They don't always say the right thing or make the right choice but regardless, they are there for each other and they build their own fantastically flawed family that is stronger than super glue.
What can I say about Sean Crisden that hasn't already been said? The man is such a sensational narrator with an arsenal of tones, nuances and inflections at his disposal. It's not just his ability to voice so many characters and make sure everyone has their own tone, he puts the emotions the character is feeling into the words and takes the story to another level.
If you're a fan of the Author or Narrator this one is a no brainer. Such a great book!

Angst and pain, Amy Lane Amy Lane has two kids in college, two gradeschoolers in soccer, two cats, and two Chi-who-whats at large. She lives in a crumbling crapmansion with most of the children and a bemused spouse. She also has too damned much yarn, a penchant for action adventure movies, and a need to know that somewhere in all the pain is a story of Wuv, Twu Wuv, which she continues to believe in to this day! She writes fantasy, urban fantasy, and m/m romance--and if you accidentally make eye contact, she'll bore you to tears with why those three genres go together. She'll also tell you that sacrifices, large and small, are worth the urge to write.
Thank you for the review. It's been a while since I read this.
