Tom Carter 

Kicked out at fifteen for being gay, Tom survived by selling his body on the streets. Four years later, Tom, now nineteen, doesn’t know how long he can continue living this life. 

One night while out working, Tom sees a face from his past, one he had long forgotten. One he had used to fantasise about. 

Seb Banks 

Afraid of the reaction he will receive, Tom runs away hoping never to see him again. But Seb had other ideas. 

Sebastian Banks 

At twenty-five, Seb’s life is going exactly the way he had wanted. Having worked hard at University, Seb has been offered a permanent contract at a local solicitor. 

While driving to a friend’s house to celebrate, Seb is shocked to find Tom, someone he hasn’t seen in years, on the streets, selling himself. 

Feeling an overwhelming need to help Tom, Seb tracks him down and offers him a way out. 

Is Tom willing to take a chance on Seb and accept his offer, or will his distrust of everyone from his past cause him to push Seb away?

REVIEW:

Pretty much impressed with the whole book. 

I've never read a book that includes prostitution. It broke my heart to see how much Tom and his friends suffered because of their sexual orientation. Being gay doesn't make you a worst person, it just makes you who you are and what matters is just your happiness and nothing else. 

Tom's parents reaction to him being gay was just from another world. What the hell did they have on their minds?? Throwing out a 15 year old kid on the streets is just completely insane!! It was their freaking son for gods sake.

For four years Tom had to do what he could so he could have some money to himself and even share a bit with the other four kids who lived with him in an abandoned house.

What amazes me more about Tom is that he isn't an addict. Even with all the problems he had to deal with he managed to no choose to succumb do addiction as a way of escaping his stresses, fears and difficulties. 

It was marvelous to see how Sebastian truly wanted to help Tom and be a part of his life once again. Seb never stopped looking and thinking about Tom and how his life was and that was major sweet.

I think that Sebastian and also his boss from work were the the two best characters in the book and between all the people who didn't give two sh*ts about if Tom could manage himself, these two were always worried and wanting to help and make Tom's and his friends lives better.

After reading the synopsys I really wanted to read this book and I finished it with a smile. I was quite pleased with how everything turned out (even though there was one part that broke my heart into a million pieces).
