By Degrees Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There haven't been many books in this genre that I have really, really enjoyed, one being Faith & Fidelity by Tere Michaels, and another is this book. I can honestly say that I really got into these well written characters and they completely captured me from the first chapter. I am a stickler for the technical aspects of writing and will be turned off by poor editing and poor writing skills. The characters in the volume are well constructed and completely beliveable. I look for romance in a romance novel and I was not disappointed in this book. The romance is palpable and empathetic. It was so easy to fall in love with the protagonists. If a writer cannot capture my attention from the first paragraph then I will struggle to get involved with the characters and the writing style. I give high marks to JB McDonald for a well written and well developed story. I highly recommend this book and the writer. I look forward to the next work from this writer.

Orphaned at eleven and bounced around the foster system, Tim learned young that the only thing he could control in life was himself. It was a lesson he took seriously, and it's the only thing that keeps him safe from more heartbreak. He wants to keep his world well-ordered, but he can't seem to keep his friend Conner neatly pigeon-holed. Conner doesn't understand this desire to control things, but he doesn't need to. He loves everything about his control-freak friend, from Tim's black hair and blue eyes to the way he quirks just one eyebrow. Con has loved all these things for years, and now he's learned that it's a short step from loving to falling in love.With Con's arrival, everything starts unraveling in Tim's life. He finds himself questioning his sexual orientation, wrangling with emotions dragged up from his past, and fending off questions from Con's well-meaning family. Drowning in a world out of his control, his one hope is to let go and trust that love will save him. But after so many years of burying his feelings, he's not sure it's possible.
