Craving's Creek 
Fourteen years ago, on a sun-drenched summer day on the banks of Craving’s Creek, Ryde swore to his best friend, Alistair, he’d never be alone in the world. Though Alistair was destined for the priesthood, there was something beyond holy about the first kiss they shared. But a fun camping trip went horribly wrong when Alistair was involved in a horrific incident.
Now, at age thirty-one, Ryde’s life is a mess of alcohol and the painful imprint of his last look into Alistair’s desperate eyes. Since the evil they encountered on that shore, his first love has been lost to him—until he learns a friend’s wedding is to be officiated by a priest named Father Alistair Genet. Amid the rush of emotions, one thought crystallizes: Ryde’s love for Alistair not only has never died, it’s stronger than ever. Stronger than God. But it may be no match for the church…and the repressed memories that are slowly tearing Alistair’s mind apart.
Warning: Contains a drunken confessional, a self-destructive clergyman, and a fight to the spiritual death for love.
~ Arc provided via Netgalley in exchange for honest review ~ BEFORE READING: Best friends-to-lovers theme, one of them is a priest (what???), the curse of first love...ME: I can not resist!!! AFTER READING: This review is posted on Way Too hot Books.This book was NOTHING I expected it to be and I loved it. You can read the synopsis over and over again and believe me you still won't get the right idea about its content. The story is a combination of a contemporary romance, psychological drama and
DNF at 76% because of the high improbability and extreme WTF-ery of the main character's actions and thoughts. I just can't.

Oh my god YES! A new Mel Bossa book AND it has a priest MC! I'm so stoked!! *glares at calendar*
This is an amazing book, I wasn't sure if I was going to like it but I did. The story will take you on great journeys but you will come out a better person. This is one of the first (if I may say) religious books that I have read and enjoyed. Don't get me wrong I have read Man-Of-God books before but this one had a whole different vibe that I really liked. It is a touching, funny and heartbreaking story that would recommend to any of my GR friends.

Ryde is lucky that his parents seem to be okay with his desperate confession: He loves his best friend Alistair. At age 17, Ryde is convinced that he and Alistair are destined to become lifelong lovers.Alistairs a strange sort, an ephemeral beauty, whose devout Catholic parents are suspicious of Rydes interest in their son.
JMS Books is re-publishing this book in June. I made some changes. Really toned down the drama and having a Catholic Priest friend helped! I changed a lot of things in the way the Church is portrayed... Like, for instance, not believing in psychiatry! I also made some changes to Alistair's therapy...I think it's a better book. I hope so.
