Mason Alexander thought all he wanted in life was something to call his own - something without the family name attached. He got that when he bought his bar in Blackcreek...but then a hard truth opens his eyes that he's been lied to his whole life, and he's tangled amid the family that loves him, a truth that haunts him, and torn between the life he wants for himself and the obligation he feels for his family.

Gavin Davis knows a thing or two about living a double life. Being a gay man with strict Christian parents who believe he's going to Hell, has never been easy. Instead of dealing, Gavin lost himself in his career. Teaching music gives him solace. So when he loses his job at a private school for helping out a gay kid, he feels like he lost more than a job. He lost his identity. Blackcreek is a new start for both of them, two men, loyal to a fault, who both feel obligated to people in their lives. What Mason and Gavin don't expect to find in each other is the place where they can be real. They know they want each other, it's the rest of it they can't figure out. Caught between loyalty, obligation, fear, tragedy and family, Mason and Gavin's lives threaten to pull them away from each other if they don't get real, and stop playing pretend, for good.

Luke did an OK job. I swear all his female voices sound like old ladies and all the same but I guess thats hard for a guy. He did pretty good at the performance aspect. Emoting emotions well but the 2 Mcs voices seemed the same and I'm just not overly fond of his overall voice. It wasn't awful but just not what I'd expect. My favs are Charlie David, MD, Leslie and Boudreaux who have that more manly tone.

I really enjoyed this story. It was interesting and believable. There were moments when I wanted to choke out the one mother but again the rest of the story made that aspect bearable. I loved these two men together. They were well suited for each other and those steamy scenes were scorching hot. I also loved hearing updates on the other books characters. I was waiting for a specific ending that never came. Though perhaps that may of been too standard cheesy. Regardless it ended very sweetly.

Great story and ok performance
