    About this ebook

    Four years ago Ryan's parents disowned him for being gay. To escape their threats, he ran away to Canada. Now his twin sister Nicole is getting married to his best friend Peter, and Ryan will risk anything to attend. Help arrives in the most unexpected form: Peter's older brother Daniel, the man Ryan had loved from afar.

    A part of the 2009 Daily Dose Set, To Have and to Hold, which includes 30 M/M romance stories providing a glimpse of the many forms of love: love at first sight or a love for the ages, wedding bells or engagements, or that inexplicable something that makes you think "I do," the men in these stories are all touched by its spell.

      There is a fine line between romance and sap and a little too often this novella crossed the line. And, if I am being honest, I have to agree with a reviewer who said the Amazon.com blurb covers the entire story. It does: Ryan shows up at his sister's wedding after being threatened and kicked out by his parents; she welcomes him back with open arms and his childhood friend that he had a crush on protects and takes him in. There's some explicit sex, and Ryan and Dan the standard sensitive bottom and alpha male protector, respectively. So, why are there so many positive reviews for this story? Sometimes a reader just wants a simple "happily ever after" and this satisfies on that level. No, it's not Shakespeare, or even a particularly well done romance. But, it is not the worst gay romance I have read and it didn't set me up for a great story and fail to deliver. My expectations were low. I wanted something with some sex and an HEA to while away the time while waiting for my plane. I don't regret reading it, but it wasn't memorable either. It was worth the price of an e-book. The lack of actual conflict or tension actually inspired me to read the sequel, To Keep and To Love, to see if the author develops the relationship or builds a plot. Unfortunately, my expectations were too high and I was disappointed.

      This was a quick, light read full of tender moments between Ryan and Daniel.I was so in the mood to read something light and sweet today that I've read the whole book. Serena's writing is simple and lovely in this so, if you're in the mood for something like that, go read this book, you won't regret it.This was my first m/m book and I don't regret it at all. Both Ryan and Daniel are adorable and sensitive men and I hope their personalities are more explored in the sequel, which I fully intend on reading.Ryan's parent are awful, close minded people. It's a shame there's still people out there who think like them. Like being homosexual is some kind of illness. I just don't get it how some parents, who are suposed to love their children unconditionally, can do something like disown their own son just because he's gay.It was obvious that Daniel was the older one in the relationship, for Ryan sometimes had immature thoughts and actions. I guess that's part of who he is, though. He's insecure and shy and has a lot of growing to do yet. :) I really liked those characters and look forward to read the sequel!
