Unsteady was a deeply emotional book for me. It touches on an issue near and dear to my heart and I’m going to take a minute and touch on it right now: suicide. Suicidal ideations, to be exact. Micah speaks about how much easier it is to die rather than keep waking up each morning and he is not alone in those thoughts, especially as a veteran. United States veterans commit suicide at a rate of 22 per day, one every 65 minutes, nearly double the rate of civilian suicides. We can’t stand idly by while the people who’ve risked so much for our country are battling a war inside of their own minds. If you know anyone, veteran or not, who is struggling with thoughts of suicide, help them find support.I loved this book, for so many reasons, the biggest part of which was Micah. His struggles and self-loathing called out to my heart and made me want to just hold him and comfort him until all he could remember was what being loved for exactly who he was felt like. As much as Jude had struggled with accepting who he was and learning to live with the things he’d lost, I always felt like he had a far better handle on how to cope with the struggles he faced. Micah appeared to have everything a person could need for most of his life but once we glimpsed beneath the surface it was painfully obvious everything he had was nothing more than a façade. And to me it is far lonelier, far more upsetting to have those things at your fingertips and not be able to touch them, than it is to know the things you need are no longer available to you.
The flashbacks to Micah and Jude’s time together when they were in high school are what made this book so great, to me. Seeing those struggles, realizations, and heartbreaks first hand, rather than having them recounted in other ways let me understand more the hesitance and fears they experienced in the present day scenes. There were a few more scenes I would have loved to have fleshed out in that way, but I know that I would never be satisfied that I had enough of Micah and Jude. Both of their love stories, past and present, touched me in different ways and I am glad to have been able to experience each of them.
I love M/M, especially when done well, and Melissa did a great job with Unsteady. The vulnerability she demonstrated in both of men, especially Micah made this book for me. There is a fine line to skate between making emotionally charged, vulnerable male characters and still keep them powerful and masculine that makes a M/M romance so special to me, and she definitely did it in Unsteady. I am also impressed with how she dealt with important social issues experienced by both gay men and veterans. If Ms. Collins continues to write with the poignancy and intensity of Unsteady I can only see he rising through the ranks of my must read authors.

Unsteady edition by Melissa Collins Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
After reading the first two books in this series, and investing so much love in Dax and Beck, I wasn't so sure about Micah. He didn't thrill me in Higher Ground, especially when I feared he might have tried to come in between Dax and Beck. Now that I have ready Unsteady, he makes more sense to me now, and how he was in the previous book. I enjoyed the story, and really loved Jude. The beginning began a little slow for me with building up the story and laying it all out, I get that, but it also took many chapters until we really got down to what was troubling Micah. At least to the point of including Jude, and sharing his past with him. The intimate scenes between the two men were beautiful and well written. Over all, this was a good story and I loved how it all concluded in the end.
This book is soooo great! Fully charged emotionally, super hot physically/sexually, and completely soul touching!!! 5 stars!!
This is a standalone full length M/M novel, written from dual POV's (going from past to present as they tell their incredible, heart wrenching story).
Confusion, pain, bullying, friendship, discovery of one's true self, first love, insecurities, fear, depression, PTSD, anxiety, hope, mistakes, determination, true love, happiness...these are some of the deep emotions that this author so perfectly brought to life in a beautiful love story! Real, raw, and riveting are good adjectives to describe Unsteady! I laughed, cried, got hot and bothered numerous times, and cried again, but it was all worth it! This is more than just a hot, sexy romance, it's also a heart tugging, real life type story that makes you think and feel! I absolutely loved these two guys, and although they could be so frustrating at times with their anger and hard headed ways (that's a real man for you, right? lol), they also show how it feels so go through drastic, seemingly impossible life issues, all while trying to just be yourself and be happy, regardless of what everyone says and thinks! My heart broke for these beautiful guys, but was also soothed and patched up perfectly by them! I absolutely loved it!! This is my first novel to read by this author, but rest assured, it most definitely will not be my last!!!
Micah and Jude….two damaged souls bound together in high school and lost for ten years to reconnect somewhat more damaged. Melissa does M/m romances so, so good! I can’t believe how deep I get lost in her books.
This story is no different! Micah stole a little piece of my heart in On Higher Ground, but then I was sort of mad at him while reading this story….not a lot mad, just a little and he more than redeemed himself in the end. Jude was so great as a high school football coach who takes care of his dad and allowing Micah back into his life without question.
In two words, this is simply a wonderful story!!! I love how the characters fought their inner demons and connected on such a deep level. I like how Micah redeemed himself and Jude didn’t quit fighting for what he really wanted. This story just left me breathless and I can’t wait for more from this author!!!
