A companion to Broken Gait
A Steel City Story
A new transfer, Robbie Kowalski embraces his fresh start at Three Rivers Academy. Freedom from football, delightfully challenging academics, family support―Robbie is thrilled. No more fumbles, no more gay taunts, and a refreshing challenge at blending in with the kids of rich people, the sort his dad usually works for. Robbie’s even willing to work in his dad’s carpentry business to help pay tuition, especially once he gets to know his cute lab partner, Brent.
Brent Kenson, competitive rider and key man in his uncle’s stable, schemes to escape the legal career his dad has all planned out for him. He almost pulls it off too, until a scorching kiss from Robbie turns his world upside down. When Brent discovers his dad is not his real father, his world flips again, and he’s left reeling and desperate for escape.
With time running out, Robbie must find a way to help Brent confront his fear of rejection and embrace who he is before Brent takes a drastic step to end his pain―permanently.

Sire by Kate Pavelle By Lena Grey “When people kill themselves, they think they’re ending the pain, but all they’re doing is passing it on to those they leave behind.” ~ Jeannette WallsIf Brent Kenson and Robbie Kowalski, of 'Sire' by Kate Pavelle, had not been assigned to work together as lab partners, they might have never gotten together. They have been admiring each other from “afar” but neither has the nerve to approach the other. They seem like an unusual pair. Robbie is athletic, huge, and clumsy, while Brent rides horses and is lean and graceful. Brent's family is wealthy, while Robbie comes from a middle class family. Being “forced” together gives them the opening they needed to get to know each other better.Brent's Uncle Atilla and his partner, Kai, own a stable and Brent's favorite thing to do is to be there, where he's learning the horse business. He's an accomplished, competitive rider. He helps teach classes and frequently performs in shows. Brent wants this to be his career, but his father, Tibor, has other ideas. He and Brent's mom are both lawyers and Tibor expects Brent to follow in his footsteps. It's a bone of contention that's caused many arguments between them. As his relationship with Robbie grows, then blossoms into romance, Brent realizes that he is gay. With his father already on edge about his choice of careers and anxiety over a dark secret he overheard concerning his dad, Brent is terrified that learning he is gay will be the last straw; fearing it will shatter their tenuous relationship forever. Brent won't talk to anyone, not even Kai, who strongly senses something is up and especially not Robbie. Confused, Brent decides to break up with Robbie before it goes any further, makes it even harder for Robbie. Feeling like he has no choice, that nothing is ever going to change, Brent begins to prepare for the end.Robbie is euphoric when he spends time with Brent. When he goes to Brent's house for their tutoring session, Robbie is overwhelmed by the size of his house and the apparent affluence of Brent's family. Brent's family is polite, but doesn't exactly greet him with open arms. Robbie's family, on the other hand, is very welcoming when they meet Brent. Robbie's family know that he's gay and it's fine with them. Robbie works with his father's carpentry business; he loves working with his hands and would like to make a career of carpentry some day. Brent wants to share his love of horses with Robbie who has never been around them. When Brent takes Robbie out to the stables and teaches him how to do what's required, he catches on to the routine quickly and is soon comfortable around the horses. When Brent breaks up with Robbie, for no good reason that he can see, Robbie is hurt; he hopes it's just a temporary setback, but when Brent completely withdraws, Robbie has to admit that he's wrong. Seeing Brent at school is absolute torture, but Robbie doesn't know what else to do besides leave him alone.Our teenaged years should be a time of life when everything is simple, but they are often overcomplicated by a teen's undeveloped self-confidence, overthinking everything, peer and parental pressure. Their decision-making skills are not well formed yet, so when things seem overwhelming, their conclusions are not always sound. Brent decides that killing himself is the only way to stop his pain, but he doesn't stop to consider what it would do to those he would leave behind. To further complicate things, Brent is mentally ill; he suffers from depression but those around him didn't recognize it until it was almost too late. People need to be made more aware of these debilitating diseases and recognize the signs so they can help those who suffer from mental illness, because the more they know, the more they might be able to help. Thanks, Kate, for raising awareness and tackling the often taboo subject of suicide. Originally reviewed at Rainbow Book Reviews.

Good standalone By avid reader Sire (Steel City #4) by Kate Pavelle4 StarsM/M Romance, coming of ageTriggers: Suicidal ideas, bullying, depression, infertilityI was given this book for an honest review by Inked Rainbow Reads.I will start this review by saying that this is the first book that I have read in this series, but do not feel that I was missing any important details.You have two main characters - Rob and Brent. Both are struggling, but each with their own issues. You have Rob, who in order to get away from it all, has transferred to a new school. He is trying to reinvent himself away from the accident prone football player in to one of intelligence and grace with woodworking, with an ultimate goal of architecture.Then you have Brent. He has lived a life of privilege, but something was missing. He was always working hard, because he knew that it was expected that he get the best grades. However, he also knows that deep within himself, there is a passion that not even his dad can extinguish. He wants to work with horses, not follow in his dad's footsteps.Both are seeking something, but until they find each other, they just kind of flounder. I thought that this story held a lot of miscommunications, which gave the story, at some points, undue angst. The miscommunications almost costs all of the characters everything.Pavelle did a good job at resolving a lot of the issues and miscommunications, but I felt she skimmed over the issues about suicide a little. While it was discovered, there was no talk about how the characters were helping each other fix the issue. Only that it was resolved. I think that the story would have been more powerful if you had seen the resolution in a more practical and realistic space.This story was more about two boys finding their own way - starting their own paths. It also brought together family, friends and even animals to show that nothing is ever so hopeless.

"Sire takes an excellent look at teenage issues where angst and drama go hand in hand with joy and harmony" By Melissa Three Rivers Academy will be a fresh start for Robbie Kowalski who leaves behind the hated nickname Lummox because his old school couldn’t see past his large, clumsy size. The son of a carpenter, Robbie’s obtained a partial scholarship with excellent grades and impressive science projects so that he can attend the affluent high school.Coming from a family of lawyers and high achievers Brent Kenson is well aware of what’s expected of him. Unfortunately for him, Brent would rather spend every waking hour at his uncle’s ranch, Blue Heron Acres, where they raise and train valuable show horses.A teacher pairs the two teens for an assignment and the boys begin to connect as friends. Robbie accepted his sexuality years ago, though it’s something Brent’s having a harder time grappling with. Curiosity has them taking that first step of kissing on a visit to the ranch. As the days pass their friendship deepens, but it’s too soon for Brent to share secrets that are tearing him apart. Rob will need all the help he can get to catch Brent before he falls too far and makes a decision no one can live with.Sire takes an excellent look at teenage issues where angst and drama go hand in hand with joy and harmony. On the cusp of manhood, sexuality and family expectations weigh heavily for Brent and Rob. A tough, taut plotline leads the main characters on a rough personal journey. Emotionally intense Sire doesn’t pull any punches, yet in the end manages to shine. This standalone story is a welcome addition to the series.This book was reviewed by Lisa for Joyfully Reviewed (JR), and was provided by the publisher/author at no cost to JR for the purpose of being reviewed.
