And I'm Here

I'm feeling accomplished! I've set out to finish series I've started and here I am. Done with this one. Yippee!!! Okay ... the book was fine. It lands comfortably between the first book, which I liked, and the the second, not so much. In this go around we have Drew and Justin who are related by marriage to Rod & Landon, from [b:Shifting Gears 30262695 Shifting Gears (Crossroads, #2) Riley Hart https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1464037060s/30262695.jpg 48875268] and end up in the Bryce and Nick's friend circle. I must say I liked both of them. They're nice, fairly uncomplicated guys, particularly Drew, who is new to exploring his bisexuality but not tentative. He's pretty decisive about what he wants and isn't overly shy pursuing it. On the other hand I felt like [a:Riley Hart 7013384 Riley Hart https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1364660147p2/7013384.jpg], having broached some pretty heavy subjects, dealing with family, belonging, and loss, for Justin, has him resort too easily to “sex will cure everything” mode as opposed to having the difficult conversations, which can get ugly but are necessary. On the other hand we hear about EVERY reaction or internal thought one MC has about whatever the other one said. Trust the reader. We get it. Also Justin's father gets off way too lightly for what he's done. I wasn't feeling so “kumbaya, we are family” but I know I'm a spiteful creature. The audio, again by Sean Crissden, was okay??? No one was hurt and it filled my commute time, how's that?
