   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  Bea_writer | Sep 21, 2013 |   I read this book because it reportedly had a flamboyant main character, and I really enjoy those. I wouldn't call it a tear jerker myself. Something sad happens, but it is telegraphed early and makes sense. This is a pleasant little story with a touch of paranormal On the down side, the book felt contrived in places. Edward's dog Winston bites Jack at a traffic stop, and apparently the reason for this is to advance the plot, because Winston never shows any sign of being a biter anywhere else. The antagonists - Edward's mother and some local mechanics - seemed amped up for dramatic effect. This was probably a three star read - pleasant but nothing special - but I gave it an extra star because I so enjoyed Edward's swishy ways and both main characters' interaction with WInston. (  ) Charming2020 | Mar 31, 2013 | Both main characters were well written and I had no problem with a little fantasy of Edward's ability to heal others. It was the source of a lot of angst for him in the story which worked well. I especially liked that Edward's character showed many feminine traits not only with his "pretty" looks, but things like his shedding tears easily. After reading so many m/m books where both guys are manly-men (even if one is submissive to the other), it was refreshing to have this character type represented. I've known gay men as friends who exhibited many feminine traits, so I found it very true-to-life and endearing. Highly recommend! (  ) DianeYu | Mar 6, 2011 | Edward is a very out there gay man, who dog Winston bites the Sheriff when Edward is pulled over for speeding. Jack is deeply in the closet, and very invested in being Sheriff, and playing it safe, but he is dazzled by Edward. He has seen a new gay couple be generally accepted by the town, but they are both very manly men. Edward is different kind of gay, and Jack feels that he will be rejected if he brings this gay man into his home. I didn't mind it, but I've read much better books. I was surprised actually at all the rave reviews. This is by no means a bad book, but it's not exceptionally well written and the erotic tension doesn't sing.. so I would rate is a fair 3.5 stars - happy to be reading it when I've got it in my hands, but it doesn't linger, like Harper Fox's books do, and wasn't as hot as Jez Morrow's books are, nor is it as well written as Josh Lanyon's books. So it's perfectly acceptable, but there is better stuff out there. It's a B+, but not 5 stars, not at all!

Belongs to SeriesCommon Powers (Book 3)
Edward is on a mission to save his grandmother by using his power. Jack is on a mission to never come out of the closet. It'll take a dog named Winston to bring them together. When Jack meets Edward at a traffic stop, his world is rocked--and not for the better. Edward is the gayest man he's ever seen and Spring Lake is a small town just getting comfortable with its own new gay couple, Brian Russell and Rush Weston. Unlike Edward, Rush and Brian are big, strapping, manly men. But manly isn't what turns Jack on. It's Edward--everything about the younger man drives Jack wild with desire and the need to control Edward's wild, impetuous spirit. For Edward, his attraction to 'bad boys' has been his romantic downfall. His heart's been broken so many times he's lost count. When he meets Jack, Edward falls for the all-American by-the-book lawman, but finds his attempts rebuffed and his pride severely wounded. Jack's straight, or at least says he is, but Edward knows that look in Jack's eyes--he's seen it before in other men. How can a man so right be so wrong? Edward tempts Jack beyond anyone he's ever met and his desire for Edward builds each time he encounters the younger man, until he can no longer deny it or himself. But Edward doesn't want sex on the side, he wants forever. He wants the fairy tale. Can Jack give Edward what he wants or will Jack's fear of being ridiculed for his choice of a partner keep them from their happily ever after? No library descriptions found. |

This is one of the better written stories about "coming out" that I have read recently. What I like about the book is that THAT is not the main tension of the novel, merely an added layer.
The most frustrating part is that I can not find an ebook for the first book of the series. I want to go back and read the first two now and try to read them in order.
Good book! (
