As I Am (All Saints 3) by A.M. Arthur


Will Madden is healing.

Thanks to therapy and a growing support system, he's taking baby steps into a promising future. One of those steps leads him to an online chat room, where he quickly bonds with fellow PTSD sufferer Taz Zachary.

Despite their virtual connection, Taz is initially freaked out at the idea of meeting Will face-to-face. A sexual relationship may be the last thing on his mind, but his craving for human interaction—and more of the way Will makes him laugh—gives him the courage he needs to take the next step.

In person, the chemistry between them is undeniable. But Will is hurt when Taz doesn't seem to be in any rush to get him into bed. Still, acceptance, love and happiness all seem within reach for the first time in forever—until demons from the past threaten the future they both finally believe they deserve.

My Review:     (Thanks to NetGalley) 

This is book 3 of the All Saints trilogy but is book 9 of the over-arching story line (including the Belonging trilogy and the Restoration trilogy). There are lots of references to characters and plots from the previous eight books, and while you don't need to read them to enjoy this book, it does give you a sense of an extra layer of involvement when you know the secondary characters backstories. 

The book itself was good but not great. I have been looking forward to Will's story for a while and I have to admit I felt a little bit let down. It just didn't feel like the main characters had the deeper connection that A.M. Arthur has shown in previous books.
