Synopsis
Pierce
is homeless.
Young and
strong-willed Pierce has been living in the streets of New York City for six
months, since his parents kicked him out of their perfect, Christian, suburban
house. Pierce is gay. And he is suffering the consequences for being true to
himself.
Rafe
is homeless.
He is also
sick. Impressionable, but far from innocent, Rafe ran away from home almost a
year ago. His sickness is slowly killing him. But Rafe is not a hopeless case.
He has learned to get by. Nights of paid passion turn to sheltering warmth from
the imminent New York winter.
And
then there’s a suitcase. Pierce’s suitcase, which holds secrets from everyone
including its owner.
When
their worlds collide, their lives intertwine and when the world seems bent on
bringing the two souls to their knees, fate has other plans for them.
Caution:
Contains adult language, New York City streets, tough life choices, sexual
tension, stubborn brutes and swoon-worthy romance.
Review: 3.75 stars
I was skeptical about this story. I've read so many bad homeless guy(s) book, I thought Oh, no, not another one! But I was wrong. This is one was sweet, especially if you like fluff. All through it, it holds the air of fairy tale Chris loves so much, skimming over the most gruesome aspects of the life on the streets, or dating someone in Rafe's condition, but it does make you wish you can do something, anything, to help the homeless people in the world. To simply give them a chance.
The story is relatively solid, some parts bordering on the unbelievable.
What the story missed, in my opinion, was a connection between Pierce and Rafe. There was nothing to make me believe they were in love.
