This is a beautiful and moving story about first time love between two sweet and inexperienced friends set against the back drop of freight hopping across Canada.
Elian and Tyler burrowed deeply into my heart from the very beginning of this wonderfully written masterpiece. The depth of their friendship and the ebbs and flows of their relationship balanced perfectly with the hurt/comfort and found family themes with just the correct amount of angst to make my eyes leak at times. Through everything they faced, either alone or together, they showed their interminable inner strength, even if at times they doubted such strength existed. Elian made heart wrenching decisions to bravely and courageously fight his inner battles to ensure the well earned HEA he and Tyler deserved.

It was fantastic spending time with the Rail Rider family again and I eagerly await the next in the series. I cannot recommend this book/series highly enough.
