Tate is out and proud but Jonas is in denial about being gay. He banged all the girls he could while in a fraternity at college. After a “harmless” prank goes very wrong he is expelled from college and sent to live with his aunt and uncle who he barely knows.

Jonas’s father is a state senator and has always had unrealistic expectations of his only child. Jonas feels that nothing he has accomplished has ever made his father proud of him. He is sure he will be cut off financially if he comes out. He just wants to finish college so he can get a job and be free of his father forever.

Tate becomes Jonas’s first friend in his new hometown but their first meeting wasn’t at all indicative of how things will end up with them. Tate has been providing for his two younger sisters since their parents died a few years ago. He helps run a shelter for LGBTQ teens. He’s attracted to Jonas but knows better than to pine for a straight guy, but he’s getting mixed signals from Jonas and just can’t resist the pull he feels.

This book had my emotions all over the place. I felt so bad for Jonas; his father is an a$$. Fortunately, he finds love and support with his new family. Tate is wonderful and the way he cares for his sisters is inspiring.

A.M. Arthur has written a great start to her new All Saints series and I look forward to reading more of her books.
