“... the chemistry between these two is crazy! They try their best to ignore it but as they slowly grow closer, the walls start to come down. This was a sexy, sweet, wonderful book!” ~ Carol’s Crazy Bookish World
When his roof caves in, Sean Lovett thinks things can't get any worse. Until he loses his job, adding yet another bump in the rocky road of his life. None of his so-called friends can—or will—help. And asking a favor from his abusive ex? Hard pass. Luckily, his sister comes to the rescue and offers him a great apartment—in the city, no less—until he can get back on his feet.Sweet deal.
Until a gorgeous man unlocks the front door and strolls right in with a grumpy attitude and a claim that his boss—who happens to be Sean’s brother-in-law—promised him the same apartment.
Former NYPD detective Tristan McDermott hasn’t stopped running since the death of his best friend. After almost two years of living in his own personal hell, he returns home to New York, hoping he can move on, but guilt still follows his every step. He's grateful to have the perfect apartment until he can settle into a place of his own. But there’s a cute guy already living there. And only one bedroom. And no way is Tristan leaving. He’s staying put.
Sharing the space is tough, but Tristan can ignore sweet Sean and his sunshiny smiles.
Kind of.
Except Sean's brother-in-law asks Tristan to keep an eye on Sean so he doesn't make any bad decisions.
Uh oh.
Keeping an eye on Sean is easy. Keeping his hands off him is much, much harder.
And sleeping together...well, that isn't a bad decision. Not when it feels so good.
Right?
From Lambda Literary award winning author Felice Stevens comes the story of a grumpy, green juice-drinking ex-detective running from the past and a sunshiney singing waiter who can’t catch a break. It features a meet-cute, only one bed, learning to trust, and a surprise lap dance.
REVIEW
Two men with their emotional lives torn apart, for different reasons, who end up sharing the same apartment... and then some.
Tristan, a former NYPD detective, still feels guilty over the death of his co-worker in a sensitive police operation. Two years later, Tristan still carries the guilt and sadness, and the uncertainty of the work he does.
When he's asked by Ray to keep an eye on brother-in-law Sean, Tristan doesn't imagine it would be so hard to help someone without actually getting involved in that person's life.
Sean was always the one who felt lonely. Having lived in so many foster homes, he now has a sister with whom he can develop a relationship of family and belonging, something precious but distant for him. Living in the same house as Tristan also stirs feelings that Sean steadfastly fights.
The two will have to share the house, but every day, the desire to share feelings grows and challenges them.
