The Blurb tells you what this story is about. I found it a little hard at first to get into the story but I hung in there and was richly rewarded.
This story was well written and the Author did the research need to include the medical jargon scattered throughout, while taking some poetic license which is acknowledged.
Chris is very promiscuous, and loves sex but to tell the story of what he lost we must see what his life style has been. One constant in his life since college has been his best friend and occasional lover Mickey.
The love story of Mickey and Chris is so touching and Mickey stayed by his side throughout Chris’s Medical nightmare and their love only grew and solidified.
I loved meeting all the couples of Avondale, they immediately took Chris into their circle and became true friends that Chris had only ever known before with Mickey.
I liked how the sexual abuse in Chris’s past was acknowledged and dealt with through counseling though not dwelt on.
This is an inspiring story and I can’t wait to read the stories of the men of Avondale.
I highly recommend this story.
