Love is love. But what if the fight for equality gets in the way of building a relationship?
Lorcan Barratt has never considered himself relationship material. After his parents made it perfectly clear they’d never welcome a partner of his into their home, he learned to love his own company and can’t imagine sharing his life with another. After a single passionate kiss with Eric Kavanagh—the night before he travels to Canada for three months—Lorcan’s no longer sure he wants to be on his own. The problem is, he has no idea what sharing his life with someone else might entail.
Eric Kavanagh grew up in a loving and supportive family and always assumed he’d end up in a committed relationship. Sure that he’s found the one, Eric doesn’t worry about the fact that Lorcan has no experience when it comes to love and relationships. They are good together, so what could possibly go wrong?
When both men get involved in the marriage equality referendum in Ireland, it appears to bring them even closer together until Lorcan’s insecurities get the upper hand and he shuts Eric out. Will the fight for a yes-vote cost them their relationship or will they be able to find a balance between the love they share and the need for equality?

Author Bio
Helena Stone can’t remember a life before words and reading. After growing up in a household where no holiday or festivity was complete without at least one new book, it’s hardly surprising she now owns more books than shelf space while her Kindle is about to explode.
The urge to write came as a surprise. The realisation that people might enjoy her words was a shock to say the least. Now that the writing bug has well and truly taken hold, Helena can no longer imagine not sharing the characters in her head and heart with the rest of the world.
Having left the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam for the peace and quiet of the Irish Country side she divides her time between reading, writing, long and often wet walks with the dog, her part-time job in a library, a grown-up daughter and her ever loving and patient husband.

Stone’s series
Dublin Virtues, continued with her latest release Equality. Lorcan and Eric were introduced in book 1- Patience, as best friends to Troy and
Xander. The four men quickly formed a friendship and bond which assisted them
in achieving not only personal goals, but fighting for equal marriages rights
for the gay community in Ireland.
Ms.
Stone delivered well-developed characters with real
issues, wants, and concerns as Lorcan fought inner demons and unacceptance from
his family- against marriage equality. Lorcan’s struggle was handled with tact
and true feeling, not sugar-coated and superficial. Together, Lorcan and Eric
made a lovely couple with much to hold on to and a bright future ahead.
I enjoyed Ms. Stone’s ability to keep all the characters
an integral part of her tale, past and present, and the introduction of Chris along
with Shane’s (book one) return, gave me hope for an interesting book three.
Secondary characters, especially Lorcan’s gran added a new dimension to Equality and substantiated the open-mindedness
of people.
I would recommend reading
the books in order so better experience the full affect and portrayal of all
the characters.
