His Husband

Cest, cest and then more cest - a delicious bite to read and enjoy. The Reed family is as far removed from what society perceives as normal as the Milky Way is from Earth. After Ford and David found their offbeat, very unconventional HEA in the previous two books, I was looking forward to Connor's. He's my favorite of the three brothers and his hard life and all the pain he went through to find his son were heart wrenching and sincerely soul touching. He spent years combing all the places around for clues and talking to people for his son's whereabouts, hoping the mystery would be solved. I loved the opportunity to get to know him better in this book. The story is a weird combination between bi awakening and belated coming out, definitely not conventional, nor a happy one. In some twisted kind of way, Conner was thinking that he didn't deserve to be happy or treated well in a relationship because of his past so everything that happened to him, he accepted as a penance for his inability to find Jarret.
While I liked Conny, Jett is definitely not a sympathetic character to me. I want to stay away from spoilers, so the most I can say is that I was honestly repulsed by the way Jett treated Connor from the moment they met, enjoying every moment he could intentionally hurt him. How Jett withheld a shocking truth he learned, keeping Conny in the dark, was another strike against his moral integrity. Connor definitely deserved better after years of living under the guilt and anguish of not being able to connect with his son, enjoy his fatherhood and all the time and milestones he lost. The ending contains a heap of surprises, I definitely didn't expect, that made the story even more intriguing even after all the twists before that.
Please, keep in mind that the book is the Taboo of taboo with all the lines that could be possibly and impossibly crossed and obliterated, so don't start it, if the idea of so much cest is even remotely bothering you.
