When he’s at Johnnies and with Reg, that’s what he needs and the push and pull he experiences feels believable and relatable. Bobby has a fiancé he dislikes and he must periodically return home to see his mother and in doing so he is repeatedly drawn into an existence he no longer wants. Bobby and Reg are complex and sympathetic characters who each struggle to juggle two separate lives. Bobby Green, the latest in the Johnnies series, ratchets the angst up to classic Lane levels and I loved nearly every minute of it. And if those stories are angsty, then all be better. She consistently melds romance and beautiful characters with plots that engage and draw the reader into the action. I’ve said it before, but it’s worth saying again: Amy Lane is one of my favorite authors and one of the best writers of m/m romance out there. But happily ever afters aren’t always easy and if the struggle to find peace doesn’t kill them, then Veronica just might. Now instead of a life spent fighting with his sister to take her meds and waiting for her next violent act, Reg has found someone who loves him without reservation.
He meets Vern on his first day and the new boy is christened Bobby Green, a name that suits him so much better than Vern. With the steady work and insurance, Reg is able to provide care for his violently schizophrenic sister, Veronica. Reg isn’t very smart, at least when he measures himself against the rest of the world, but after years with Johnnies he knows he’s good at porn. Filming porn was never on his radar, but the money is great and it brings him to Reg. But when his plans to join a construction crew go awry, he finds himself accepting a job with Johnnies. When Vern Roberts leaves the miserable town of Dogpatch, his only plan is to get a decent job so he can move his mom away and they never have to go back.
