This book was an interesting one in that it shed a lot of light on Billy. He wound up to be the person most affected personally in my opinion by the circumstances in this story. I think Quaid was a totally ridiculous character who moved even faster than the speed of insta-love. He hadn't even spoken to Matty yet knew he had found the love of his life. I do like the way that Ms Glenn has handled the fact that who you love, male or female, should make no difference. The Rev. Brody and Rev. McCallister being both ends of the religious spectrum on gay marriage was well done. I didn't much care for Quaid, Matty or Reuben. They seemed very shallow to me. My heroes in this series are Ma and Da Blaecleah with their love of family and their commitment to doing what is right and just. On a personal note to Ms Glenn, I think you need to fire your editor for doing such a sloppy job. The spelling and grammatical errors took away from the reading pleasure. ( )

Another sweet story, its style was very much in line with the first two. There are some major revelations about the bigger picture, though, which surprised me and gave a great explanation for some of the stuff that happened in the first two books.

Matty is a great character. He was treated badly as a kid and teenager, and he could be downtrodden and depressed, instead he stands up for himself, comes out and accepts the consequences. Since he lost respect for his father a long time ago, he deals with being disowned rather well. Some of the other things his father ends up doing to him are less easy to bear, but Matty is a real fighter. He had trouble dealing with Quaid's insistence of marrying him - and don't blame him. That was a bit much!

Quaid is a tad overbearing, and somewhat clueless as to how his intensity affects Matty, but he means well. His wanting to move into an intimate relationship so quickly is not something Matty can deal with, and Quaid messes up really badly a couple of times in other respects. It made him more real, in a way.

If you don't mind insta-love and like family sagas with strong heroes and their adoring partners, you will probably like this book. ( )
