Helpful Score: 1
4 1/2 stars - I adored the growth in this love story and the Tony & Jack's struggles and obstacles nearly broke my heart but I can't give it a five. It comes close but Jack keeps too many secrets and acts like a real SOB at times. Still, he's perfect for Tony (whom I adored) and I truly felt all the reasons why they were both so desperately in love with each other. Great realistic writing, this one is funny, infuriating, sexy and painful. I'm anxious to read the rest of this author's work.
My favorite quote was this one from Tony early on in the book as he ponders wanting a child, proving that he knows exactly where he stands in the relationship at that point & doesn't really mind. It's both funny and a little heartbreaking.
Youd make a hell of a dad. Youre practically raising me."

I liked this one. Ive loved everything ive read by Mitchell. I kind of wanted to smack Jack a couple of times. Tony was very enjoyable. Sexy, tattooed and pierced, and so funny! Together they were hot!
I agree, the one before this one, Regularly Scheduled Life, was awesome. A must read.

Richard C. (Richard-luvs-Reading) -
This Novel is a Sequel (Book #2 in the Ohio Series) to Mitchell's "Regularly Schedule Life," and focuses mostly on the Coupling of Tony and Jack, but does include a few brief encounters with Sean and Kyle (from Book #1).
To be Honest, I didn't like this Book as much as the 1st, and I rate it as being Average at Best, and I cannot recommend purchasing the Novel.
Accordingly, this book was definitely more Story, and although a timely topic for the Gay Male Community: relationships and having kids, I just felt there were too many implausibles to make the Story believable IMHO.
Obviously, believability is not a requirement for Erotica, but when the sex scenes are mostly flat and leaving me unexcited, then I guess the Story becomes more of the focus.
Lastly, I did like "Regularly Scheduled Life," and so if you have not read that one, then definitely do so!
