Covet Thy Neighbor
by L.A. Witt
3.5 Stars
I usually steer clear of novels with a religious theme because I don't like to feel preached at. I've gotten enough of that from my family over the years and I don't need it during my pleasure reading. Also, after reading [b:Where Nerves End|14061034|Where Nerves End (Tucker Springs, #1)|L.A. Witt|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1337538048s/14061034.jpg|19698182] by this same author, and not really liking it, I was hesitant. But I had already purchased it after reading and absolutely loving [b:Static|11376952|Static|L.A. Witt|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1322465048s/11376952.jpg|16308045], so I figured I would go ahead and give this book a chance. Plus, I've grown to really like this little Colorado town and so I want to read all of the novels.
Okay, so I loved this book. Darren is Seth's new neighbor and is not only hot, but also gay and single. He's also a minister. That last bit makes Seth really wary. And I understand why. I'm also an atheist from a conservative religious family, though thankfully, mine isn't nearly as bad as Seth's family. I mostly get along with my family. My heart breaks for people whose families disown them for who they are. Anyway, I understand his trepidation for getting too involved with someone who not only is religious, but a minister as well. Thankfully, though, Darren isn't at all like Seth's family.
Darren is smart, funny, non-judgemental and is perfect for Seth. It takes Seth a while to accept that, however, and Seth nearly sabotaged the relationship before it really began out of fear. Thank FSM he came to his senses. Religion isn't going away and the world can use more accepting and understanding people on both sides.
Well worth the read.
