Redemption and self-acceptance net Micah the future and love he needs.
Micah is probably everyone's least favorite character. Yes, he's a total ... yeah, pretty much any vehemently negative descriptor would be accurate here, but even though I had some seriously unkind thoughts about him in the first two books there was something deeper going on with him than self-hatred and cruel words and actions and I knew he'd get his chance to tell his story. Brigham Vaughn is no stranger to writing internal angst and her brand of it can be poignant and honest. I appreciated the way we saw Micah's internal struggle and the softness that gave me hope he'd pull himself out of his own misery.
And misery there was aplenty. He sank himself so deep into his own bog of awfulness that he could see no way out or around to true freedom. His growing and deepening feelings for Justin felt futile and yet so right. Micah isn't an easy character to love because the surface of heartlessness and callousness is so thick that most won't even try to look past it. I was glad for Justin's patience and willingness to try for him.
But everyone has their limit and I supported Justin's decision even though I hated his timing. When Micah's emotional breakthrough came it was met with Justin's heartfelt yet heartbreaking limit. Left on his own it was finally up to Micah to see exactly what he needed to do to fight for his light. No final decision was easy, but I really enjoyed all he did to create the future he wanted by seeking redemption, forgiveness, and honesty.
Each story so far in the series has characters that grabbed me for different reasons, but I think that Micah is my new current favorite because of his evolution. I believed in him, believed in his changes, and I adored his actions with Ian in the lead-in for Advance & Retreat. I cannot wait to see his cameos in the next story.

It was supposed to be a secret fling.
Micah Warner spent his whole life dreaming of pitching in the big leagues. Signing with a minor-league team near Chicago puts him one step closer to making that a reality. But there are no out players in pro ball, so any involvement with a man must be discreet.
Physical therapist Justin Lamb loves his job with the Cougars. A romantic at heart, he wants to find lasting love—with a man or woman—but traveling with the team makes it difficult to maintain a long-term relationship.
Micah offers Justin a no-strings-attached way to blow off some steam, and Justin reluctantly agrees. It doesn’t take long before they’re both in over their heads but falling in love will risk everything.
With their careers and relationship hanging in the balance, they have one last play to make.
It’s time to take a swing for real and lasting love.
