The examination of the relationship, the story with all the stressors, the big dramatic incident here, all of that is great. Life is not necessarily pretty for the couple. Add to that the tabloid attention of their relationship coming out and the anger of Shane’s former colleagues. Rafa’s parents are being awful about their relationship and their impending visit is amping up the stress. Rafa and Shane are now happily ensconced in Australia, spending their days surfing (and having sex) as Rafa prepares to start school soon and Shane works to get his security service off the ground (which is confusing as in the earlier book it said he had a security contract after he quit his Service job.) But Shane is suffering from the after effects of Rafa’s kidnapping and having nightmares. I loved book one and this book is a nice follow up story that examines what happens during the happily ever after. This is the conclusion of the bingeable Valor Duology. Test of Valor by Keira Andrews is a gay romance featuring an age gap, family drama, action/adventure, and of course a happy ending. Shane and Rafa just want a normal life together-but when they must suddenly battle for survival, they fight to prove their fierce love can withstand any threat. They don’t see how their son could possibly be happy settling down with an older man, and they question Shane’s motives. Rafa’s parents certainly don’t approve of his romance with forty-year-old Shane, and they’re determined to make him see reason. Now they just have to get through a visit from the former president and first lady. Though Shane struggles with nightmares and his over-protective instincts while Rafa fights his own insecurity, they love each other more than ever. Eager to get away from the questions and judgement, Rafa and Shane are building a new life together in Australia.
Shane’s given up his career for Rafa, a move his fellow agents question the sanity and morality of. They’re free of the White House, but can their forbidden romance survive in the real world? With his father no longer president, twenty-two-year-old Rafa Castillo can finally be with ex-Secret Service agent Shane Kendrick.
