For the Love of a Boy (Father #2)

These books absolutely need to be read in order since it's a continuous story with one taking up where the one before it leaves off. Malcom and Seth are the perfect characters for this series as well as the perfect couple. They're settling nicely into their relationship and are still exploring their Daddy/Boy relationship. The story starts out a little slow, but things pick up as they start to face Seth’s past. Seth has, and will probably always have, a lot of lingering trauma from his past, which is understandable, but Malcom (Daddy), is determined to help him through it and be the supportive, understanding "Daddy" that his "Boy" needs. While we are told about the things that happened to him before he ran away, and in this one we show more learn that he is now seeing Dr. Clay, a therapist...we don’t get to see the emotional fallout from those sessions, which must have been over whelming for Seth. I found myself hoping to at least see that Seth was benefiting and finding peace. The police are finally involved, and we did begin to see that Seth's father and the so-called church, were going to finally get the punishment that they so rightly deserved. Just when I started to believe that Seth was safe, we see that the "church" had also been busy trying to find him. I wondered when that would happen back from the end of book #1. I always thought the perfect isolation that this couple enjoyed, was going to eventually come back to bite them. We do get the hint of a very solid "happy for now" and the assurance that these two will get their happy ending, so I can't wait to see that all play out in the final installment.... which, of course, I have started. Morticia Knight has always presented a more than worthwhile read with excellent characters that you can easily love or equally hate in everything she writes. I Loved her Kiss of Leather series. I have read it three times now and I know I will reread this trilogy again many times also. show less
