A story of love..depraved or innocent?...left me absolutely breathless!
Once in a while, after reading dozens of books; I open a book and know before finishing the first chapter, it is worth 5 stars! I know from the first chapter, it can't end well. I know from the first chapter, there is a tone or a feel of getting into an airplance with the portent of a crash. Yet we must board the plane if we want to get to our destination.
This is the story of a libidinous 13 year old boy who 'pleases' himself, then teaches his cousin to 'please' him. But the boy's father sees them and finds he is very turned on. At 13, Mason, is beautiful...
Mason finds that love he loves his father, truly, deeply emotionally.
This is only the second novel I have read of incest where the reader feels the emerging and uncontrollable emotions of a love, that shouldn't happen. But the heart cannot be stopped. The reader forgets it is incest!
Yet the reader is taken on Mason's journey as he grows.The other boys he meets, the bonds he forms. His lust, his libido open doors for him.
Can one say this is a beautiful story, a gut-wrenching story, a story of an unstoppable love. The ending is shocking, disturbing and stayed with me for a while.
Smart writing of a sensitive,illicit subject.erotic,sensual,sexual
Thank you Mr. Holloway for writing so beautifully.

To Dads Everywhere: the Gods Bless Them!
I was surprised by this story and the honesty with which it was told. A lot of gay boys as they grow up look for a father-figure and/or a big brother (I did). It shocked me to read that this book was written about sex under the age of eighteen which has become too conventional in gay pornography. It is significant that this book comes from Kentucky where sex between family members is more common. I wondered how this book got past the censors and looked up the eMail website which was in the business of allowing anyone to publish anything, or publish on demand. I imagine the true writer of this story will not stand up and be identified, but I say kudos to him for having the courage to tell his story. The ending was very sad and probably gives the story more of a moralistic tone than it needs. I am happy to have read this book and will keep it in my library with fondness.

Confused, yet intrigued...
I almost had to stop reading this book because all the incest was seriously turning my stomach, yet I couldn't seem to put it down because I was completely and totally captivated by Mason Sutherland and wanted to find out what happened to him. I've got to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the last chapter and the epilogue, which seemed to make me turn a blind eye to all of the incestuous "love" throughout the course of the entire book. I understand the dynamics of all of it, but I just can't condone the actions, I'm sorry. But, incest aside, I really did love Mason to death because he reminded me so much of one of my best friends when we were in high school, and I truly felt for him with all of my heart and hoped everything would work out for him. This book is a very decent read, and if you can push through the incest, it's definitely worth getting to end!
