review 1: Caleb isn't having an easy time on his very first "official" date with Samuel. Not when it turns out that Samuel's stepdad is no other than Brock, the lawyer who wants to exchange sexual favors with Caleb in order to look into getting his brother, Nick's, conviction overturned. 'Torn in Two' is Caleb's second book within his trilogy and I can already tell it's going to be a gut wringer.Brock makes no bones about Samuel getting his "filthy little whore" out of his home. Personally, I'd've outed the man, but Caleb needs him to get help for Nick, so Caleb is stuck. When Samuel returns after driving Caleb home, Brock lets him know that Samuel needs to break it off with "that trash" because the firm has a reputation to uphold. Yeah. Whatever. Of course Brock shows up at Caleb's... more apartment that evening to inform him that Caleb must end all contact with Samuel or Brock won't help him. Talk about trash. So in order to save his brother, Caleb does it.Poor Caleb, and poor Samuel. Caleb is just trying to do what he must to help his brother, no matter how sick inside it makes him feel. Samuel knows something is going on, but he can't get Caleb to tell him what's wrong, and, in fact, Caleb pushes him away. The guys at the club, Max, Dane, Cole and Gabe, all know Caleb is hurting, but he won't tell them either. Max is really hurting too, as is Horatio, as they continue to go back and forth with their desires and reality. At the moment the Phoenix Club is drowning in sorrow and it's really hard to watch.I will admit to predictability, although I also found that within Abel's stories. I am, once again, going to give you the warning that this author writes sex scenes with rarely any lube, no condoms, and practically no preparation. Both parties enjoy it, except Caleb with Brock, but if that's something that might bother you, then these aren't the books for you. Oh, and one other thing, as this is a new author to the genre, she has a tendency to depict gay men as being able to physically enjoy sex no matter how repulsive they may find the other person. It's a stereotype which I don't agree with, but, again, I'm looking at more than the sex. In regards to the predictability, I overlook most of it, because I want the sweet, sexy, hot drama and eventual happy ever after for my main characters.I'll be very happy when Brock gets what's coming to him. He was stupid to record his activities on his netbook, and then upload them to his iCloud on his home computer. Looking forward to the finale of Caleb's books.
review 2: Hate when they end like that!Like these books what can I say they get me all worked up about how unfair life is and how stupid some people are Samuel wants him and doesn't deny it one bit. Dane wants him secretly Brock wants him for an entirely different reason and once again the lead character has to deny love to focus on everyone else. In this case it's a brother and his freedom while the other one was a sister and her medical bills. So there too many similarities and I'm torn apart where my loyalty is and ahhhh feel like screaming Brock less
