All In

When Jason agreed to basically babysit his friend's step-brother, he knew the kid was a temperamental brat--I mean, Brad had told him that the kid had even tried to kill him, so the hateful attitude didn't surprise him. Unfortunately, what he didn't expect was a beautiful, sixteen year old mute whose anger was born from something much darker than just disliking his stepbrother. And finding out what that is pushes Jason to fold or go all in. Taylor Ryan's works are usually rather angst-ridden. As anyone who has read All In or Tears of the Neko can tell, stories delve into the emotional side of the characters and relationships are built over time. The genre of the story isn't as important to the story as the development of the characters; therefore, stories will fall into just about any genre-- modern, historical, fantasy, sci-fi, shifter, slave-fic, etc.
