WHEN WE WERE YOUNG

Book Three: Knight Moves

An eXtasy Books Editor’s Choice Award

Although they’re torn apart, they still hold a piece of each other’s heart.

Blurb: After receiving his grade twelve diploma and marking his eighteenth birthday, René Oshawee cannot fight the temptation seventeen-year-old high school junior Billy Redsky blatantly offers now that what they share has become taboo.

When their secret romance is blown into the open, Billy’s foster parents send René to Toronto to complete the last of his schooling under the supervision of a family friend, leaving Billy behind at their Ojibway community.

Now Billy and René must make the biggest decision of their lives—fight for the true love they know they’ll never find with anyone else or go their separate ways.

Genre(s): Multicultural, m/m contemporary romance, LGBT, young adult, new adult.

“Man, this one was painful to read. Painful because I love René and Billy so much and seeing them be separated, forced to accept the decisions of others over their own life and relationship made me so damn mad on their behalf at times.” –Goodreads Reviewer (Read more here)
