review 1: A fitting and moving end to the series. Full of insight and very emotional in places, without straying into pathos. Jay doesn't sugar-coat the foster care system which occasionally applies band-aids to wounds that need much more care and attention. Jason Grant is a flawed charact...

review 1: Very sweet, well written story. I loved how David evolved. What started out as a sweet first love romance turned into a deep, serious situation and a great insight on action and consequences. Some people are quick to hate David's father for what he did, but I understand it. As a ...

review 1: I don't know how Jay Bell fit so much into one book, but he somehow did, and it didn't feel overly rushed or ridiculous or unbelievable to me. I picked up this book because it's going to be made into a movie, and I SUPPORT THAT SO MUCH!! I only just missed out on the donation dat...

review 1: Hell's Pawn is not my usual type of book. I had read the summary a few times, trying to decide whether or not to read it. Then I saw in an interview where Jay Bell had said that he wished more people would give this book a chance. I adore Jay, so I decided to try it. I should hav...

review 1: I didn't want to like this novel. I really thought it was going to be in the same fashion as the novels of another author who I won't mention, but he also addresses the same topic in several of his novels. Gay romance novels tend to be way too easy, too simple, nothing far from t...
