Thanks to my
friend Betty I was introduced to the works of Brad Boney. I've read
and really enjoyed these three interconnected books and am happy to share them
with you. These are m/m romance so if you aren't into that don't enter.
If you've never read m/m romance you couldn't do better than these.

Blurb:
It’s the summer
of 1983, and Trent Days is Major League Baseball’s rookie sensation. Born in
Alaska to an Inupiat mother, the press have dubbed him the Eskimo Slugger, but
a midseason collision at home plate temporarily halts his meteoric rise to the
top.
Sent back to Austin to recuperate, Trent visits his favorite record store, Inner Sanctum, where he meets amiable law student Brendan Baxter. A skip in the vinyl of New Order’s “Blue Monday” drives Trent back to Brendan, and their romance takes them into uncharted territory.
As Trent’s feelings move from casual to serious, he’s faced with an impossible dilemma. Does he abandon any hope of a future with Brendan and return to the shadows and secrets of professional sports? Or does he embrace the possibility of real love and leave baseball behind him forever? As he struggles with his decision, Trent embarks on a journey of self-discovery—to figure out who he really is and what matters most.

My review:
Please read The
Nothingness of Ben AND The Return before reading this book.
If you’ve read
The Return you go into this book knowing how it ends. But even so it is well worth the read. Just knowing the end doesn’t diminish the
journey. I don’t know if I would have enjoyed it as much if I hadn’t read the
two previous books. This book left me
sad and happy at the same time. I loved
the story and the characters even if they did leave me in the intellectual dust
at times. This story like any great tale
left me thinking and that makes it all worthwhile.
