      Brady Bledsoe is the star athlete on Central Georgia University's football team. He's a senior, gorgeous, up for the Heisman trophy and is saving himself for marriage. Barrett Elizabeth Manning is the new gorgeous cheerleader that has caught Brady's eye. She plays hard to get, but eventually starts dating Brady. Is she really into him or up to something?Carmyn is Brady's mother. She has raised him to be "the perfect gentleman" and expects him to stay focused, work hard and remain a virgin until marriage. Little does Brady know, his mother has secrets of her own.This novel addresses how secrets and lies can torment our lives and forces us to take an honest look at who we are, what motivates us to make the choices we do and to realize it's never too late to become who we really want to be. Highly recommended.

      Good book. Different from Harris's usual focus on men on the down low and their struggles with love and identity. however, I truly enjoyed this book. The storyline was good and several of Harris's major themes found in the majority of hisbworks were present.

      This book was so highly anticipated by E. Lynn Harris fans such as myself.I must say I am extremely disappointed. I'm not impressed by this book at all.I knew exactly what was going to happen before it happened.His last one I Say a Little Prayer, I didn't even force myself to finish because it was so boring.I hope he does better or else I'm going to have to give up on him like I did Omar Tyree. Let's just say I'm glad this was a library book...smh
