When Craig Ferguson is released from prison after a year’s sentence for fighting, he returns home to his father and brother, and the family business. Throwing himself back into the life he left, with family, work, and women, Craig tries to forget his time on the inside, but there’s one thing he just can’t get out of his mind.
Cell mate, Rocky Kirk, still has six months of his sentence to go, and after a year together in a tiny cell, Craig misses him more than he cares to admit. He does his best to forget, but when Rocky is released, and arrives on Craig’s doorstep, homeless and hurt, everything that happened between them comes flooding back.
Craig’s family takes in Rocky, now known as Kirk, and gives him a home and a job, but he’s reluctant to join in with their partying, and never seems entirely comfortable in their home. A few months later Kirk announces he has to leave, and when Craig presses him for an explanation, Kirk blurts out that his unwanted feelings for his friend are hurting him too much to stay. His admission changes everything, but Craig’s uncertainty, and fears of his father discovering their secret, threatens to ruin anything that could develop between them.
On The Outside edition by Louise Lyons Romance eBooks
Craig and Kirk were cell mates in prison for a year. During that time they developed an escalating level of physical intimacy, which included sex. Craig is released six month ahead of Kirk, and struggles little on his re-entry to society. His father owns his own construction company, and Craig returns home to live with his father and younger brother, Stuart. They want Craig to go out and party on the weekends, bringing home a different gal every time, as they do. Craig would much rather find a steady girl, and struggles with the memory of his intimacy with Kirk.Then Kirk turns up on his doorstep--friendless, homeless, and penniless. Craig's dad accepts Craig's recommendation to conditionally hire Kirk, and even gives him the spare room in their home until he can save up for his own flat. It seems as if everything is going well, weeks go by and Kirk fits right in, except Kirk doesn't like to go out pulling for women. Craig meets a gal he really likes, and the friendship with Kirk suffers. Even when Craig is single, things with Kirk are strained. That is, until Kirk reveals his complete crush on Craig.
I really understood Craig's confusion. He's always considered himself straight, and his "bent" time in the pokey, well, that was circumstances, wasn't it? If so, why has Craig struggled to exclude Kirk from his thoughts, and fantasies? Craig admits to himself and Kirk that he must be bisexual, and they decide to see if they can make a go of it, under cover, though. They spend some sexytime holidays, but it's not enough, and the only way to make it work is for Craig to come out--and that is not a pleasant prospect, or experience. I kinds wanted to kick Craig in the wobbly bits, for a few moments. Good thing Stuart is a level-headed brother; his support was fantastic!
The book ends with an HEA, one given a bit of time to develop, which I appreciate. The book is about half romance, half making life work after prison. Seeing the reality side of it--the unfairness of hiring and housing practices, which are prejudiced against ex-cons, was enlightening, and poignant. It made reconciliation with Craig and his father so very important. I was glad his father didn't allow his initial prejudice to make life harder for Craig or Kirk.

On The Outside edition by Louise Lyons Romance eBooks Reviews
I enjoyed this fairly short read. It was quick enough to finish in an evening, with a good storyline and likable characters.
I'll admit to being a little wary---a book about prison sex turned to love has the potential for a cringe-worthy gay-for-you plot. However, I thought it was handled really well. Kirk (Rocky), who really is gay, obviously assumes it was meaningless for Craig. Meanwhile, Craig is having a genuine awakening. It stuck out to me how Craig is still processing but is willing to entertain any possibility between being bi and gay-for-you. I appreciated the lack of pat answers.
There's some really steamy parts in this, as most of the relationship we see between Craig and Kirk is physical. Some readers might feel this would have worked better as outright erotica.
This was really too short to deal more in depth with some of the more complicated issues, such as Craig's violent streak. He keeps assuring us he's not really like that, while disproving it multiple times. The contrast between that and his horror over Kirk's prison-related injuries is interesting, and I would have loved to see it explored further.
A quick and easy read, likable characters, and some decent hotness.
This is my second read by Louise Lyons, and I'm really enjoying the stories she writes. On the Outside was short enough to read in less than a day, but still long enough to be a satisfying, complete story.
There were really only four characters that this story centered on, Craig and Kirk-our two main characters, and Craig's father and brother. They are all good, well-developed characters, although I did think the father was a bit shallow and also really needed to act more his age. Once released from prison, Craig tries to go back to living his life like he did before-but once his former cellmate Kirk is out and comes around, things don't appear to be as cut and dried anymore.
Once Kirk basically forces Craig's hand when he attempts to leave, things really heat up between them as Craig admits his true feelings. But of course these things never run smooth-especially when Craig and Kirk don't want to go public with their relationship. This pushes everything to a breaking point, and it was really good to see Craig finally react the way he should have from the start. Craig's character went through a lot of growth in a relatively short period of time, and it was very gratifying to see his character evolution throughout the book.
On the Outside is a great short read, and gets 4 stars from me. Recommended for fans of M/M romance 18+ for adult language and M/M sexual content. Oh, and three cheers for Craig's brother Stuart--if only everyone would react they way he did!
This is a book about a straight man named Craig that goes to jail after getting into a fight. He has a roommate named Kirk and the two end up sleeping together for that year that Craig is incarcerated. Once Craig leaves jail and is back home he tries to go back to being a straight man but when Kirk is released from jail 6 months after Craig he shows up at Craig's house and things change from there shortly afterwards.
This in my opinion is a story about a man truly finding himself for the first time. Through the struggles and telling himself that he is not gay or bisexual he is faced with losing the man that he has feeling for and finally admits to himself that he is not so straight after all. Then he has to go through the struggles of truly accepting who he is and what he wants. In the end once he does he realizes that he is happier then he has ever been and has exactly what he is has been looking for all along right in front of him.
I really enjoyed reading this story. It is a story about struggle, acceptance, and unconditional love. It is a real feel good story and I think many others will enjoy it also.
