“5 Hearts!...This story is well told and thought provoking. Mr. Banis has a wonderful way with the written word...While this is a M/M story there are not many sexual situations in the story it is basically a tale of love and how love can change a persons perspective of people. This is another wonderfully insightful story about human nature by Mr. Banis.”--Ana, The Romance Studio
