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.

My review:
This book was seriously emotional. I cried so hard reading it! ANGST? You bet! I really loved Mark and Ricky's back and forth via phone but Ian grabbed my heart more than any other character. It was a very hard read but Sue made every moment count. Just how we all should do in life. My only wish was that the ending wasn't AS rushed. I would have loved to have seen more and know more of how the turnout was. Either way, Sue wrote a poetic and beautiful story that I will never forget.
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.
