BLURB: Mark Grayson volunteers for an LGBT helpline, the same one that helped him through his teenage years. One day he takes a call from “Ricky,” a suicidal man being forced into a marriage he doesn’t want. For weeks Mark talks to Ricky and provides support, but he’s frustrated by the lack of information Ricky provides and the decisions he’s making. In the meantime, Mark starts a relationship with another volunteer. Then tragedy strikes and Mark takes time away from the helpline, but when he comes back, Ricky is waiting. Mark realizes Ricky is stronger than before and their relationship changes, but Mark isn’t sure what their future holds if their relationship is destined to be at the end of the phone.

CHRISTINA’S REVIEW:
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
wow…what an emotional read! and a completely unique story. i love the idea of it being centered around an LGBT helpline. the cast of characters was really great – most of them felt like main characters instead of just supporting cast.
i had a hard time with some of the angst…i try to avoid that type of angst in stories (trying not to give spoilers here). it was pretty gut wrenching. mark was already having self esteem issues and this blow just put him in a tailspin. he is a great guy who is always looking out for everyone else. i was glad he had good friends to get him through the really rough spots.
i had a hard time believing that mark didn’t put 2 & 2 together to figure out who he was talking to on the help line. it was a bit too coincidental that EVERYTHING that happened to ‘ricky’ also happened to ‘dicky’ and mark was warned about most of it.
over all a good, but emotional, read. definitely one i’d recommend.
AUTHOR BIO: Sue Brown is owned by her dog and two children. When she isn’t following their orders, she can be found plotting at her laptop. In fact she hides so she can plot and has gotten expert at ignoring the orders.
Sue discovered M/M erotica at the time she woke up to find two men kissing on her favorite television series. The series was boring; the kissing was not. She may be late to the party, but she’s made up for it since, writing fan fiction until she was brave enough to venture out into the world of original fiction.
