Something To Believe In by Sloan Parker

This is intense, heartbreaking and dramatic. Sean is brave, strong, determined and vulnerable. Gavin is tough, protective and brave. Sean ended up on the streets because his parents wouldn't accept that he was gay. Gavin ended up on the streets after growing up in foster care. They meet one Christmas Eve at a shelter, and stuck together after that, becoming friends, then falling for each other. But they were never a couple, until Gavin came home from a week long stay with an old man. Most of the book is about life on the streets, but it turns hopeful and sweet. It's a really good story.

This is a fascinating, intriguing and suspenseful story, but it's not very exciting. Philip is hired as a gardener for Reginald, the Duke of Browning, but he's not there to garden. Caroline, the Duchess of Browning, is abused by her husband, and Philip helps divert the Duke's anger on several occasions. Neil, the Duke's brother, lusts after Caroline, and his brother's life. After Reginald dies Caroline worries about being around Neil, and men like him, so she makes Philip into her protector. Caroline and Philip spend a lot of time together, becoming friends, and eventually falling in love, but Philip says his place is as her servant.

I really loved the storyline, it was just not exc
