Good things first... the writing was decent and some of the characters were interesting. Otherwise, I had several issues with this book. It felt like it was trying to be too many different things--a romance, a family drama, an FBI investigation, a gay rights drama. Some stories can roll multiple aspects into a cohesive, well crafted whole, but sadly I didn't feel it here. One or two of those things would have allowed the author to concentrate on the issues and develop them properly. All of it together just made it feel messy and uncoordinated.It was also crowded by too many characters indistinguishable from each other and the relationships between them felt mostly shallow, unreal and inconsistent. As mentioned in another review, most of the women are made out to be bitches and those that aren't, aren't given a lot of page space, so who knows how they might turn out given time? Character development was brushed over and what there was tended to gravitate toward the extreme edges of stereotyping.I understand this is basically the first part of a longer work and all these story lines will continue, but frankly, the lack of a conclusion was frustrating. I don't think I'll continue. 3.5 this book was good but it gave me a damn headache with all the back and forth between the many characters. One moment you're reading about one person and then a different and then a different one. I didn't get to really connect with any of the characters, it just seemed to impersonal and none of the characters got the credit or the facetime they deserved, and some should have not been given ant time at all. I wasn't even sure if this bookwas really based on Mac and Sam, they were just all thrown in one boom.The main MCs this book was supposed to be about made me keep putting this damn nook down, I had to walk away for a minute (or an hour or two) before I could continue. Mac was a big push over who allowed not only his family but his lay walk all over him. Sam would just beat him with his harsh words and his dumb ass kept going back for more. Sam was just a selfish prick who should not have been given the kind of power over another person the way Mac allowed. These are supposed to be grown ass adults, not some teenage kids ...And what grown ass man calls another grown ass man (who happens to also be bigger) kitten !?! Really, wtf !!
