Would Falls Village continue to be Brandon's safe haven, or would it become his new personal Hell? He was trying to give Brandon the permanency and stability he craved.One phone call and the time Brandon thought he had, vanished. Nick was talking an actual wedding date and building a home in the Port Dock area of Falls Village. For their first few months in Falls Village, Brandon shoved it to the back of his mind. An electric moment of panic and one epic omission that could bring it all down around their ears. One thing stood between them and their happily ever after. Brandon could never quite believe Nick belonged to him, had proposed to him, the Latino son of an Air Force colonel. Born into old money and blessed with the stunning looks of his Ojibwe ancestors, Nick Wilson embodied the definition of the perfect fiancé. And best of all, he had Nick, his fiancé and business partner at his side. The ocean sprawled in all of its glory only a few miles from the new condo. The new car detail/specialty shop he co-owned was starting to make money. Brandon Martinez had everything he wanted in the palm of his hand. A place to be free, to be out and proud, and to live the life he'd dreamed about for himself. One that threatened to be as powerful, if not more so, than the first.”įind out more about J.T. His first love since grade school jeopardized a budding new love. Loved it when Spencer realised Brock was more important than baseball. Regardless of this small issue, the story got big ticks for dramatic events, misunderstandings and depth of feeling. If I read correctly she would have only been 2 years old and not remember it even if she understood that relationship. The 4 year old also made reference to “He doesn’t make you upset like that bad Nolan did.”, referring to a relationship Brock had had a couple of years before.

There was a lack of consistency in the language used by the youngest who slipped between bad grammar and use of some adult phrases. However I am not sure the ‘voice’ of the children was captured correctly. The inclusion of the children (Brock’s niece and nephew) and Brock’s own desire to have a family was wonderful. Rather it focused on sexual harassment and deceit within the sport, abuse and family. The story wasn’t the typical story of a jock trying to hide his sexuality. This story was a bit unique in that Spencer was an openly gay baseball player and was largely accepted by his coach and team. I really enjoyed this story where “Somehow, the geek had gotten the jock.” I have a soft spot for books about athletes and celebrities so this hit all the right buttons.
