Edward Albert Stanton Young, known to all as Easy, is a long haul trucker whose mother runs a truck stop, as well as an underground half-way house for gay teens needing help. Seeing young men around his mama’s place is nothing new to Easy; being attracted to one however is something he has never had to deal with before.

In order to keep from winding up dead, Mano had to flee Tampa. With the help of some good people, Mano finds himself in Nashville. He also finds himself with a huge boyfriend.

Take It EASY was a fun story to read. Set in Nashville, Tampa and points in between, the author weaves a story of a young dancer/singer who is trying his best to make a life for himself and his disabled mother and the trucker who can’t help but fall in love with him. Mano is one of those characters the reader just can’t help but love. His joy for life comes through for all to see, regardless of the struggles he is facing. Easy is just as likeable. The huge, tough trucker has a heart of gold and will do anything to protect his ‘little man’. As their story continues and Mano’s past rears its ugly head, the love these two have for each other really shines through.

From both mamas (Mano’s and Easy’s), to the regulars at the truck stop and the boys mama Sasy tries to help, the secondary characters greatly enrich this story and leave the door open for possible sequels. If you have not yet read anything by AKM Miles, give this book a chance; it is sure to make you a fan.
