Choosing the Light (Moment of Truth 2) by A.J. Wilde

[reviews_and_ramblings]

With the second book in the Moment of Truth series, A.J. Wilde closes a door and opens a gate: Gary and Dan are now together, more in life than as partners. Gary needs to recover to an unhealthy act he did to himself, and above all, he has to make peace with his paste. Problem is that to do that, he needs to close for good that chapter and only a final gesture can do that. At first Gary, alone without Dan's love, thinks that the only way to do that is to close the thing from his side. Dan helps him to understand that he was the victim and not the guilty, and that he is strong enough to face everything.

Good you would think, Dan admits his love for Gary, Gary had a strong partner and lover beside him that will help him to go over any obstacle, past and future, now they should be happy together? But life is not simple, and I believe that, deep inside, Gary is not yet recovered by his past drama, and he has not yet reached his full development. Gary is really gay, or he was influenced by his past? He really loves Dan, or maybe he loves the safe nest that he has found in Dan's arms? And when he will start to heal from his past, his feelings for Dan will be still so strong or they will fade?

While Gary is probably going through all this questions in his mind, I believe that Dan underestimated a bit too much Gary's situation. It's not possible to simple sponge Gary's past off removing the cause; the damage is done, and it would have been probably better to deal with it with a specific help. Instead Dan thought that love was the better cure, and that he could have been an happy family with Gary like two ordinary people who met, loved, and moved together.

Choosing the Light moves a bit further in Gary's discovery journey of himself, but it's not yet the final destination.
