My Review
I have read a few book from this author and have loved them all. When I took this one on to read I was very unsure of the outcome. Would I like it, hate it or love it. Since this is not a genre I read much of I have found most book of this nature filled full of just the act with little or no story line. With that said I have to say I totally enjoyed this story it has a great plot that moves pretty fast. I loved the story inside the story with author writing more than one genre I didn't find this hard to believe and found it added to the story line. I loved that this was not a story of just doing the dirty deed but was well thought out as well as well written. It is a story I feel most can relate to with real issues. I have had male and female gay friends and the drama they bring this book doesn't even touch. For me this is pretty much a drama free story.

Tommie has so much against him and yet so much for him. Dyslexia is not easy to deal with but going untreated it would be hard. He has pretty much dealt with that and overcome it in so many ways. He has lost so much in a short time now with the issues of his brother he is just overcome running on a thin line. In steps Mac who takes charge but comes across as a stalker. Tommie has never had anyone help him it is hard for him to deal with all the changes and Mac. Tommie is a loner the question is with the pull that Mac has on him will he learn to trust and let Mac help him through the tough times. I liked Tommie true he is on somewhat of a emotional ride. Even with all that is on his plate I think he deals with his brother issues well. I think he was a little emotional over the story Mac wrote but then again who wouldn't be with all he has had to deal with.

Mac now he is a dream come true, I feel sure most of the women he would have met would have been broken hearted to find he was gay. Sometimes at first meet the pull is strong and the chemistry set, there is no walking away. I found it easy to believe Mac would use his writing to overcome the fact that he could not have the man he wanted. I loved that he was willing to help Tommie in turn showing him how he felt. Action speaks louder than words and I feel Mac's action spoke for him. At first Tommie did take him as a stalker or someone who wanted something from him. I was so drawn into his story he wrote of the military men. I would have loved to have read the whole book not just a few parts of each chapter. I felt it was a nice addition to the story. The scene where they first made love I found that believable. Going without for so long can makes most move fast when the time comes. I know of straight couples who have moved way faster than these two did.

I really love each character Ryder broke my heart to see the pain he was going through. I can't wait for his and Stig story to come out. Stig well he is something else for sure, so full of life I sure hope he finds his dream of someone to come home to. He is a care take and Ryder might be just what he need. Fannie you have to love her, she is a little spitfire for sure. I hope to see her in more of this series. I loved the humor the author bought to this read. When Tommie accused Mac of all his deed and at the top of his list was seducing his cat I laughed out loud. There is a lot of pain and sorrow but a lot of humor as well. When Tommie was trying to deal with his brother's issues and Mac came up to him and gave him a hug and kiss I just melted. I know there is nothing that gives me more strength when someone dies or almost does than to have someone hold you close not saying a word.

This was a very well written story one that I will read again. The passion is there and really was not a turn off that it was two males. The author pulls you in and shows you a different world than most of us don't know. Yes I had gay friends but I never go into the sex side of their relationship. We are friends as long as they leave me out of that side of it we get along great. I really loved this story and plan on reading more from this author on this genre. She pulls you in with a story you can relate to. I stayed up late last night until I could not keep my eyes open to read as much as I could. I was so drawn in to the read I hated to put it down. In my book Ms. Snow has a winner here.

Books Description
Found at the Library Story Description:

His entire life, Tommy Garrett has dealt with self-doubts. He thought he’d conquered the majority of them until a chance meeting with an author brought his illiteracy to the forefront...again. Growing up with un-diagnosed dyslexia has left Tommy barely able to read, but books are his Nirvana. Now he spends his life creating art dedicated to the love of those “untouchable” items.

Robert McIntyre, Mac, is a best-selling, highly celebrated author. But his point of view has become a little bit too narrow...until Tommy opens his eyes. That chance meeting has changed everything about his world. He has no idea how to find the beautiful man he met, and offended, at the library book sale. But when he does, Tommy’s life is in crisis-mode. It’s the holidays and Mac can’t just standby when Tommy needs help, whether Tommy wants it or not.

Two artistic men. One shared passion for books.

Life is hard, and sometimes when conflict arises you have to write your own plot twist to pull yourself out of the fray.

About the Author
As an avid reader my entire life, I’ve always dreamed of writing books that brought to others the kind of joy I feel when I read.

But…I never did anything about it besides jot down a few ideas and sparse scenes.
When I turned 41, I decided it was time to go after my dream and started writing. Within four months, I’d written over 150,000 words and haven’t stopped since. I’ve found my passion by writing about sexy, alpha heroes and smart, tough heroines falling in love and finding their passion. I’m truly living the dream and loving every minute of it.
My tagline is…
Passion and adventure on the road to Happily Ever After. I have to admit, I am loving this adventure!
