Literary Nymphs Reviewer: Scandalous Minx
Jay McIntyre became a man, before his time, when his mother opted to lead an uncomplicated life. She left Jay to care for his three siblings and to find a way to supply for their needs. Jay didn’t whine; he stepped up to the plate and did what was necessary to keep his family intact. Now, his mission is to keep Social Services out of the picture and food on the table.
Police Constable Brendan Cuddy sees the handsome younger man and his instincts won’t allow Jay’s words to be considered the gospel truth. There is definitely more to Jay’s story and Brendan plans to find out what it is and help when he can. After a few events occur that Jay has no control over, he turns to Brendan and learns to trust him. He knows this new friendship could go horribly wrong, but Brendan’s easy nature wins over the younger siblings over and Jay soon follows their lead. Will Brendan become the man Jay deserves to have, his anchor through the storm?
G.S. Wiley takes us into The Nest, a community full of families with too many children and not enough responsible adults around to help raise them. Jay took on his role as father and guardian like a fish to water. His compassion and love for his siblings allows him to make responsible decisions. Brendan has his own issues and watching Jay’s selflessness may have helped him decide to cut a few strings along the way. The story hits a few hard issues, especially the plight of single parent homes and children caught in the system. I applauded Jay for wanting a better life for his siblings. His lack of money seemed unimportant when you focused on the infinite quantity of love he gave to his family. The Nest is about trust, commitment, love and finding your inner strength. There isn’t a great deal of physical interaction between the main characters, but that doesn’t take away from the story. I found myself focusing more on the subject and rooting Jay. This compelling story is sure to be a hit among those who enjoy the genre.
