review 1: I was disappointed by this story. I enjoyed the first two books, and I've liked other stories by Bobby Michaels, but this one didn't quite make it. I thought the story line in general was interesting, but Michaels missed some opportunities to show more emotion for David as he made the decision to change churches. I think that was one of my major issues -- I had a hard time connecting with the characters' emotions. It seemed to be written from a distance, like a narrative, with no opportunity to get close to Connor or David or really feel their pain. When David decides to leave the church and be with Connor, where was the anguish he had to be going through? When Connor was shot and he hadn't heard from hiim in a while, where was his confusion and ultimately his shock a... moret finding Coonnor in the hospital? And everything happens perfectly in their lives -- from the new job to Connor being rich as sin to the two children dropping into their lives -- which is a crock! Life is never that good. I gave Bobby Michaels three stars because I thought it was a difficult topic to handle, and while I was ultimately disappointed with the writing style and perfect lives the two men led, he did attack some difficult issues and seemed to know a lot about the different church cultures.
review 2: Just like the other two volumes in the series, this long awaited third sequel was amazing in its character development and in the problems that gay men have with (some) churches.David has tremendous issues when he realizes he's going to have to leave the Roman Catholic church if he wants to be with his lover Conner. Conner is very supportive, but many of the internal problems are David's to solve. Once he has done that he still needs to tackle his family and even though one of his brothers is gay and fully accepted by their parents, David is still scared. How he overcomes that fear is described with sensitivity and very credible.I loved it! less
