I
really hope you enjoy reading Raising Cade, and I’d be most grateful for any feedback you
might offer. Please leave a comment here on the blog, or Friend me on Facebook
and post there. Or, best of all, a review on Goodreads is worth its weight in
gold! (Well… hmm… considering the relationship
between electronic text and gravity, it’s actually worth quite a bit more than
that! **grin**)
Thanks
for reading!
CONTENT WARNING:
Raising
Cade is a gay romance and
includes brief, but graphic depictions of sex, violence, rape, and PTSD. Readers who object to content of this nature should not
download this book.
What readers are saying about Raising Cade:
This is a
story with depth and real concerns. It is not light and fluffy, but a
coming-of-age, in my opinion—second chances, if you are willing to try for
them.
I feel that
our couple were meant to be together. It wasn't instant, for sure, but that
just made them stronger in the end. The story is
about the two of them balancing one another out, helping each other become
stronger. They are each other’s anchor in the world they both live in now.
You could
see the growth from within as Cade comes to terms with what happened to him,
and the life he wants to share with Alan. Maybe we will be lucky and be graced
with more of their story…

When I
finished reading this last night, I gave it 3-1/2 stars. However, I awoke this
morning not only remembering the characters and the details of their lives, but
still curious to get to know them and their friends better. In light of that
fact, I had to bump it up that extra half star to a 4.
I really
enjoyed getting to know both Alan, a purple heart bearing Marine and poor,
sweet Cade. I look forward to continuing to get to know them and their friends.
Though this is apparently a first foray into publishing, Raising Cade doesn't
“feel like” an author who is only beginning.

There are
simply not enough stars to rate this the way I would like. Few books touch me
as thoroughly. Cade and Alan are characters that will stay with me forever.
This rarely happens.
They are
both very compelling and easily liked. There is a small cast of secondary
characters as well… Cade and Alan though, oh my God, they practically lifted
off the page to stand in my living room. They are as real to me as any physical
person I have met.
Jonathan
has created beauty, and I do so hope he expands on this story.
