I enjoyed this story. Noah is a former hustler who's made it his mission to help out the "boys" on the street. Jeremy is all alone and living on the streets while trying to finish his senior year of high school and stay out of the clutches of the local pimp. When Noah comes to his rescue both of their lives will be forever changed. The protags are interesting and likable and the slow progression of their relationship worked well, especially since Jeremy is so young. The subplot of Noah's connection to the bad guy of the story was good also. Angsty, sweet, sexy with a nice romantic feel as well as a bit of action.

This book had been sitting on my TBR for ages, since 2008 to be precise. I'm so glad I finally read it. While it's not the typical M/M romance it is a wonderfully written story about two young men falling in love and dealing with some very difficult situations. If you're looking for a lighthearted romance this won't be the book for you but anyone wanting to read a well-written, emotional love story that also incorporates the effects of child/spousal abuse, homophobia and the harsh realities of life for an inmate and his loved ones then I definitely recommend Breaking Faith.
The end of their story left me wanting more as it's really a new beginning for them and I wanted to see how they adjust to finally being together after having been apart for most of their relationship. I'm looking forward to the sequel which is to be released hopefully later this year or early next year.

This was a cute story. Jack's dealing with a break-up when his barely legal daughter shows up pregnant. When they go meet with the baby's Daddy it's love/lust all around when he meets Daniel, the boy's uncle. This quick read is sweet and humorous at times and since it's a Sean Michael story it's also quite hot too!

I had a hard time with this story. It's very angst-filled which normally isn't a problem for me but coupled with a protagonist that I just didn't like made for a difficult read. It's well-written and the storyline overall was interesting but I was just never able to fully connect with Cade and therefor his relationship with Tuck didn't engage me.

This was a nice story about an older rancher falling for the young ranch-hand he hires. I found both protags likable and their slowly developing May/December romance worked well for me. What I didn't like was the addition of the supposed best friend and the cheating ex-lover. I know I would have enjoyed Gable and Flynn's story much more without those two in it. I also really like this Anne Cain cover.

I loved The Angel of 13th Street - there's a sequel in the works! I have Breaking Faith - just need to get around to read it. Maybe I'll read Allspice. The other two just don't appeal at the moment.
The only one I've read is Angel and I loved it. I know Jen enjoyed the Sean Michael one so I'll probably read it sooner or later. Although these days maybe later. LOL Not in the mood for angst these days.
I really enjoyed Angel of 13th Street. Glad to know there's a sequel coming! I'll have to pick up Breaking Faith. M. King is very talented. And that is a gorgeous Anne Cain cover for that last one.
Thanks for the sequel info, Chris. I'll be looking forward to that one. Hope you enjoy Breaking Faith and Allspice when/if you get read them.
Tam, there's no angst in Sean's story. It's a sweet, easy read with a touch of humor and hot sex.
Angel seems to be everyone's favorite. :)
Val, I think you'd enjoy Breaking Faith as well.
Angel is the only one I've read, and like everyone else, I loved it. I'll get to the Sean Michael story eventually. :)
Eyre, I think you'll enjoy SM's story. It's a short story and more on the sweet side than hardcore sex.
I haven't read any of them yet, but I have to say, I'm really wondering if your hottie of the day is wearing undies ;)
I'm not quite sure, Ava. He does look like a naughty boy so... ;)
I really liked The Angel of 13th Street - glad you did too. The others I haven't read but I think I need to check out Breaking Faith. :)
Hi, Tracy! It seems Angel is everyone's favorite which is no surprise since it's a really good story. I think you'd also enjoy Breaking Faith.
