His father hates him, his mother drinks her sorrows away and his husband Paul treats him like he is nothing more than a beautiful toy. When his husband has to go away on a business trip to Europe for two months, he sends Jared away to a ranch in the middle of nowhere to keep him under control. There, Jared meets people who show him what love, friendship and loyalty mean for the first time in his life. Can he escape his life and finally find some love and happiness for himself?
Reccer's notes: Jared is so beautiful and heartbreaking in this. I think she captures his insecurity, shyness and fear well. She paints such a wonderful picture about the Ranch and all the vivid characters she uses throughout, and how Jensen is able to reach Jared and get through to him despite all the misgivings in Jared’s life is amazing, and such a treasure to read.
[Short excerpt]They sit down on the bed and Jensen cups Jared’s tearstained face gently, wiping away the younger man’s tears with his thumbs. It breaks his heart to see Jared like this, knowing that he has been the reason that Jared is crying.
