Winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Romance. For many in war-torn 1944, love blossoms in the dance hall, and airman Arty Clarke is no exception. He's a thinker and a dreamer; however, it's not the beautiful, talented dancer in his arms--his best friend Jean--who inspires his dreams. For when his gaze meets that of Technical Sergeant Jim Johnson, Arty dares to imagine a different dance. Their love is forbidden, by both the armed forces and the law, but with Jean's cunning and support, Arty and Jim try to bridge the distance between them and find true love despite the danger and a life-threatening disaster that could destroy Arty's dreams for good. Can the pair stand strong together, no matter how many skies have fallen? This edition includes the Christmas novelette, A Snowy Ball.… (more)

A story very realistic and very romantic at once, absolutely consistent with its time span.

The inmmersion in that period is impressive, reflecting a thorough research work; Arty evolves in a way and pace perfectly credible; those all-American tears of Jim kept me between tender giggle and funny incredulity. ( )

Simply breathtaking. Without question, among the best books I've read in the last year. McGowan's inimitable style shines through on every page. And it's free of charge. You absolutely owe it to yourself to take the time to read this. At least once! ( )
