This is more like 4.5 stars. This story is completely intertwined with Chase in Shadow and Dex in Blue and will spoil events in them if you have not read them first. You probably won't have to reread them because you'll be reliving a lot of the events from those books from Ethan's POV. Super Sock Man is not essential reading, though Donnie and Kevin are still mentioned in these stories as Donnie is Chase's best friend. 
 This is Ethan's story of meeting Jonah. Jonah is not one of the Johnnies boys, so it takes him a while to understand the bond between the guys, as well as the difference between sex and a relationship. And to understand Ethan and his need to be touched constantly. That's a heartbreaking story all on its own. Jonah has his own family issues in the form of a sister dealing with complications of cystic fibrosis (CF). Ethan's family leaves him hanging altogether, when all he ever needed was the love they hadn't been showing him since he was five. 
 This story is not as gutwrenching as Chase's, but more on par with Dex's as far as angst level. This is a lovely group of guys and I hope we're not done with them yet.
