What I truly enjoyed most about this story was the fact that these two men are far from perfect and Lane captured that perfect imperfection beautifully. Through thick and thin, to hell and back, Crick and Deacon do the best they can to keep their heads above water and stay true to who they are as both individuals and a couple. As they grow from boys to teenagers and eventually become men their ever evolving relationship becomes something so much more than just friends, family, lovers.
Better late than never has never been more true!Ĭrick (Carrick) and Deacon are childhood friends, the closest thing to family either of them have aside from Deacon's father, Parish. Oh, but this book was amazing! I don't know how I've missed this series until now as the Author and the Narrator are both favorites for me. When Crick's knack for volatile decisions lands him far away from home, Deacon is left, shell-shocked and alone, struggling to reforge his heart in a world where love with Crick is a promise, but by no means a certainty. It nearly destroys Deacon when he discovers Crick has been waiting for him to push him away, just like Crick's family did in the past. But after two years of growing feelings and temptation, the painfully shy Deacon finally succumbs to Crick's determined advances and admits he sees himself as part of Crick's life.
So when Deacon's father dies, Crick puts his college plans on hold to help Deacon as Deacon has helped him.ĭeacon's greatest wish is to see Crick escape his memories and the town they grew up in so Crick can enjoy a shining future.
Deacon was Crick's sanity and salvation during a miserable, abusive childhood, and Crick would do anything to stay with him forever. The only thing saving him from prison or worse is his absolute devotion to Deacon Winters. Carrick Francis has spent most of his life jumping into trouble with both feet.
