Spring Affair

I loved this book. Poor Sloan is not in a great place. His mom died recently and he's carrying a torch for his friend and one time hook-up Asher. Sloan knows Asher doesn't love him back but he just cant help himself. He hasn't found love primarily because he has been focused on his unattainable friend. When he finally finds a new man that interests him Sloan thinks he is just as unattainable. Max is married and straight (sort-of). Both Max and Sloan face a lot of fear and self-loathing before they together. They are immediately attracted to each other but know that they shouldn't be. Loving a straight man is the last thing Sloan needs. Poor Max has fought his homosexuality most of his life. His attraction to Sloan definitely throws him for a loop. It was wonderful to see each character grow and learn to accept himself as their attraction and friendship grew into love. The supporting characters were also great. I loved the Fabulous Four and can't wait to read more about the other three friends.

I always love a good romance and B.G.Thomas never disappoints me. I get involved with all of his characters. Sloan,Wyatt,Scott,Asher...what a group!! Max and his son Logan,a very mature thinking teenager! This book is about Sloan...he's looking for his one true,forever love. I got what I wanted when I read this book! Thanks B.G.

I adored this.
Strong, fully explored characters, who face real struggles, real fears and real pain, with a nicely done supporting cast in Sloan's friends, Max's son Logan and even Max's wife Lauren, who might come across as a villain but really isn't.
I can only imagine how difficult it must be to keep your true self hidden for so long, riddled by guilt and never fully content, until you just can't do it anymore.
This book explores the theme of a married man who feels pressured to get married and produce a son, and then does, only to finally realize he's been lying to himself all along.
I loved the similarities between him and Logan - but also the glaring differences. They meshed well, and both had strong convictions that were questioned again and again. I don't like cheater books, and while it could be argued that they both cheated in their hearts and their minds, I liked that Sloan was strong enough to say no to actually commit the physical act.
The writing was breath-taking. I felt as if I was right there with the characters, as they went through bouts of misery and then hope and then misery again, only to get what they both deserved at the end.
Fabulous. Simply fabulous. Highly recommended.
