Publisher's Summary
Dawson Barnes recognizes his world is very small and very charmed. Running his community college theater like a petty god, he and his best friend, Benji, know they'll succeed as stage techs after graduation. His father adores him, Benji would die for him, and Dawson never doubted the safety net of his family, even when life hit him below the belt.
But nothing prepared him for falling on Jared Emory's head.
Aloof dance superstar Jared is a sweet, vulnerable man and Dawson's life suits him like a fitted ballet slipper. They forge a long-distance romance from their love of the theater and the magic of Denny's. At first it's perfect: Dawson gets periodic visits and nookie from a gorgeous man who "gets" him - and Jared gets respite from the ultra-competitive world of dancing that almost consumed him.
That is until Jared shows up sick and desperate and Dawson finally sees the distance between them concealed painful things Jared kept inside. If he doesn't grow up - and fast - his "superstar" might not survive his own weaknesses. That would be a shame, because the real, fragile Jared that Dawson sees behind the curtain is the person he can see spending his life with.

Disjointed and disappointing
I found the storyline very disjointed. It jumps around, usually to interactions between Jared & Dawson (and as this is a long distance relationship, intervals of weeks can slip by without any warning), but then there was a phone call that was completely out of place. Dawson took Jared’s phone, learned the name of the antagonist and next thing it’s a day or so later and he’s telling Jared that he has already informed the antagonist that Jared is out for the count (sick). After the minimal conversation between the two lovers, there’s an excerpt of a one-sided phone call from Dawson to the antagonist.
There were a lot of sex scenes. Honestly, the only part of the book that delved into a worthy bit of reading was the showdown with the antagonist near the end.
After having read the Johnnies series, this was a big let down.
The narrator was mildly talented (I liked the Yiddish professor and Mr Dawson’s Dad) but he was unable to give the main characters distinctive voices.
