Now an award-winning indie film, this gay coming-of-age romance launches a twelve-book saga that has set countless hearts on fire.
Ben thought coming out was his best chance of finding love. Once everyone in his high school learned the truth, he ended up lonelier than before. After a not-so-accidental collision with Tim, an attractive athlete and artist, Ben is convinced that he’s met his soulmate. Their budding romance is soon tested by spreading rumors, the danger increasing along with their passion for each other.
Years later, Ben is attending college while dating a wonderful guy. His life seems perfect until the day Tim shows up unexpectedly. Overwhelmed by old feelings, Ben is forced to reconcile the summer-filled dreams of his youth with the complexities of his new adult life... But some love stories are impossible to forget.

Heartbreaking Love Triangle
Hi, I loved the first part of this book. I loved the main characters, all 3 of them. That’s what made this book so hard for me. I hate love triangles, there is just no way for there to be a happy ending. I had no idea going into this that it would be a love triangle and now I am kind of despondent. I love this writer and I am wondering if I should go forward with more of the series or keep seeking out the HEA fluff that I usually like. I am torn, but I must admit that I FEEL!! Isn’t that what a good book makes you do?

Nice read
This was a nice read but I felt it was written by someone who was new to this. The characters and plot were a bit simplistic but it was still fun to listen to.

Disappointing on every level!
This is my first Jay Bell book - (and apologies to the author) and I was planning on reading the complete series - this was based on the summary and the reviews which said it was a believable and heartfelt story with strong characters etc but my mistake I didn't listen to the sample...
This was disappointing on every level, it was like listening to a badly written gay soap opera set in a high school and the characters and the plot lack any credibility or realness - and the narrator sounds like he is in high school too, which of course is appropriate given the story.
Sadly I am one of those people who listens to a book till the end, eternally optimistic that it will redeem itself in some way - but this is 9 hours f my life I wont get back ;?!
Just don't go there unless you are into this kind of storyline.
