    About this ebook

    Two words stripped Austin Pritchard of the privileged life he’s used to. The moment he uttered the words, “I’m gay,” he realized there is no such thing as unconditional love. Now, he’s gone from traveling the world with his family to living on the streets trying to figure out how he’s going to stay in school.

    A chance opportunity changes everything. Austin impresses the foreman and lands a job, but even more, he catches the eye of David Becker, who is determined to teach him that true love doesn’t come with strings.

    The only thing David had as a child was love. His family struggled to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. That has driven him to stay focused on his goals; become a tenured professor at a university and save enough money to build a home of his own. It’s not until he sees an insecure college student working on his new house that he realizes that he hasn’t planned on someone to share his life with. He’s about to learn that everything he’s already accomplished is nothing compared to the task of making Austin see that he is worthy of love.

      I really didn't feel it. The dialog was stilted and unnatural. Austin was supposed to be homeless, but the situation did not feel authentic at all (the words said he was homeless, but the picture they painted was very vague. It never described his sleeping arrangements other than "in a park," and his homeless friends came off as arty hipsters). David is much older and speaks very oddly ("if he wishes to interact with his peers, I'll encourage that behavior." Really? That's how people talk?). There are odd discontinuities in which the timeline jumps forward. In one scene they haven't done more than kiss and they are arguing about it, and then it jumps forward and they have been messing around for weeks, and they hadn't even resolved the argument! They don't seem to communicate at all about anything. The dad is way overdone, not like a real father at all but like a televangelist. Just overall not a book I could get into despite being a trope I generally enjoy.
