He was a dom and wrote about his experiences, but now has reclused himself in suburbia. Jack is a complex man with a difficult past. This is amazingly sexually explicit but also creates a relationship that is believable and you can see how it grows, from fun sex to something so much more, revolving around the theme of trust. I thank the author for taking me on this journey and teaching me another level of tolerance and acceptance that a loving and supportive relationship deserves respect no matter who or what the partners are. Gay men have so much prejudice in their lives that adding another layer of possible taboo to the mix makes the journey and choices even more difficult. I am so glad I listened to my friends and continued to read Jack and Ricky's story to it's conclusion. Slow Bloom helped me to change my mind about those feelings and won me over to a perfectly beautiful relationship.
This May December relationship might have been more acceptable to most people had it been a romance between a man and woman, and somehow it did feel off to me at first, maybe a little icky, perhaps because I've not encountered this in real life and never such a wide spread of age in fiction. The title of this book is so perfect for a relationship that develops slowly between a 48 year-old man and a 19 year-old college student.
