This artfully written tale is amazing ! This is the romance of two young, 20's "a capella" singers competing in a contest show on TV. Lucas, 21, a bass from Iowa, gay, but inhibited by the contract his folks and school hold him to comply , keeping him restricted, keeping him from being his true self. Cody, 23, a magnificent singer, left Iowa years ago because of the attitudes there. He's becoming famous, he's a tall, slim Goth man with tats and piercings. And for Lucas, Cody is the carrot in front of the horse, teasing the celibate Lucas. Wow, these two are drawn to each other, and each fights it. Although sometimes Cody enjoys baiting Lucas, because he's easy to rile, and it's fun. Lucas has his fantasies, but has never been with a man, not even a kiss! Nope ! As they explore this attraction, they are funny, so sexy and open, but Lucas is very guilt ridden. These characters are well written. We understand each one; ride along with them on their discoveries, throughout the contest, and the interactions with other contestants. And of course, the sexy times. Big time scenes of Lucas's first times are fabulous.Annabeth Albert is really in tune with her characters, as she keeps the tale moving along.It's interesting, fun to read, and informative. It's delightful! I recommend it... ENJOY !===============================At the end of this lovely story, check out the playlist she provides that coincides with the story from beginning to end. You will get a better understanding of the type of songs they sing, the meanings, and the fun, too. I checked the videos out, and they are fabulous.===============================
