For Scotty Riesen, hiding his sexuality in Ma's Trick, Louisiana hasn't been easy, given his secret relationship with his next-door neighbor, football star, and fellow closet case, Jean Lafitte. One night he decides that living in the closet is no way to go through life. He comes out, but he isn’t prepared for the backlash from his parents and friends.
Scotty takes a bus to New Orleans to make a new life for himself. Playing janitor and dancing boy at the gay bar Burnt Reflections is a lot better than living on the street, but he can’t forget Jean Lafitte no matter how many men throw themselves at him.
Despite everything, Jean Lafitte may yet prove just how far he’s willing to go to make a relationship with Scotty work. Traveling down to New Orleans to find Scotty is just the start of a courtship that won’t be stopped by anything less than a Louisiana hurricane.

This coming of age story set in the South was fascinating and full of interesting details as the young men romantically involved are forced to pretty much flee their home town. Scotty is a very strong person and when his lover Jean fails him, in fact, outs him in order to protect his own potential football career, Scotty travels to New Orleans where he meets friends and finds work dancing in a gay club. I very much enjoyed reading about the culture shock the small town boy experiences as he finds his feet in the big city. The story kept my interest, (I've been sort of getting bored and wandering away in the middle of a lot of books lately) and the characters were a lovely mix of realistic people. An excellent, enjoyable book!Product details

This story hit on all of the gut churning buttons that make me sad, make me want to rage, and make me want to protect and nurture those who don’t deserve to be down on their luck. Scotty found himself alone and afraid after coming out to his family just a month before his senior graduation. His family kicked him out of the house, his classmates made his life miserable, and the guy he expected to have his back (if not willing to come out himself) more or less punched him in the gut when he joined in the bullying with the others. When Scotty’s shame and troubles followed him to his grandma’s house, he couldn’t stomach having anything happen to her so he left, and found himself homeless, penniless, hungry and confused in New Orleans.
Lucky for Scotty, he had a guardian angel looking out for him. Before his situation became so desperate that he was selling himself for food or cash, Scotty crossed paths with Butch, the owner of a gay bar and someone who had a habit of helping out the strays who landed on the streets in his city. Butch gave Scotty shelter, a job cleaning in his bar (and later dancing), and guidance in the way of growing up fast. I loved Butch and his guy Tony and how they became somewhat protective father figures keeping an eye on Scotty. And I loved that Scotty had the strength to be himself despite how much it cost him.
Jean Lafitte, the boy who betrayed Scotty, was a much harder character for me to warm up to. I understood his fears, but didn’t respect the actions he took in the face of those fears (for the most part). When he did finally pull his head out of his arse and man up (coming out and then going in search of Scotty), he did redeem himself a bit in his persistence to show Scotty how much he loved him. I’m not sure I could have given in or forgiven as readily as Scotty did.
The best part of this book is in how it simultaneously portrays both the best and worst of human nature very realistically – from the beauty of a helping hand with good intentions to the hard to believe act of a parent basically throwing away their own child. Scotty survived multiple devastating events in his young life, but he survived. He was amazingly strong. His character drew me into the story completely,made me care about him, and had me rooting for his HEA. Definitely recommended!
Good character development and a story line which manages to avoid the most obvious ploys and stills spins a good tale. A good coming-of-age romance with two real life characters.
I truly liked this story. Liked not loved, but only because the ending felt rushed. I did however love the characters especially Jean. Hunky guy knows he's in love but can't show it Then when he lets it slip he "pays for it" but that ends up being the push he needs to go get his man...Nice read and it went fast. Too fast! I wanted more
I absolutely adored this story.
Yes at first you wonder how Jean is going to redeem himself, but he doesn't disappoint. And Nana. You gotta love her!
This story was brilliant, real, and an intense love story that will melt your heart.
This story is about finding your self, saying true to your self, and making your own family.
Enjoy.
