Alden Security #1
Soldier's Savior
Joy Danvers
The military is a bastion of racism, homophobia, and sexual abuse; or as David describes his parents having the trifecta of bigotry, racism, and misogyny. Concealing because it's not safe to be out is one thing, but being closeted in self-hatred is quite another. Will say that I prefer so-called sweet romances that concentrate on relationships and not on phone sex. Having read other books by this author I should have known what to expect. I still can't get used to the idea that female authors and readers are obsessed with gay males getting it on. And this pair engage in teenage-like congress in the back seat of a crew cab. The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation and neither do we though I wish the participants kept it private there. PDAs whatever the sexual orientation stretch the bounds of etiquette. Can't say I was prepared for Provincetown on Dyke Day.
So John has accepting parents and David not so much. Societal change happens slowly and the pair finally get to marry. And a mother walks the bridegroom down the aisle.
