BLURB
Losing his adoring husband shattered Tristan Rogers world. For the past few years, he’s been going through the motions, running their dog grooming business while hiding the loneliness he feels down to his bones. When he witnesses an ugly breakup between a pretentious customer and his boyfriend, Tristan can’t help but intervene. Something about the unassuming younger man calls to him, and he can’t help wondering if he’s experienced some heartache of his own.
Life took a tragic turn for Jonas “West” Hollis as a teen, and he’s felt indebted to his overbearing lover ever since. Tristan’s kindness draws him from the start, but with his dreams finally in reach, West can’t risk getting close to someone else. Not now that he can live his life and stand on his own merit.
From innocent texts to companionable rides on Tristan’s boat, what starts as an unexpected friendship between the men sparks into undeniable attraction. Neither are ready for anything deeper than a couple of passionate nights wrapped in each other’s arms but their connection becomes too intense for either to ignore. If Tristan and West want to heal their broken hearts, they’ll need a considerable amount of trust and courage—not only in themselves but also each other.
Review
5 Stars
I haven’t read a book by this author that has let me down yet. Tristan and West are added to the list of characters that Christina Lee has brought into my life that I have absolutely fallen head over heels for!! I’m so madly, utterly and completely in love with this story and these guys!! Tristan and West have stolen a piece of my heart. Christina Lee proves over and over why she is one of my top five favorite MM authors.
My words will do no justice nor can I praise this author enough on how truly talented she is on bringing such beautiful words to life and giving these phenomenal characters an amazing heartfelt journey that will leave you smiling from ear to ear. This captivating story had me glued to the pages as I read this in one sitting. This was a sad yet sweet journey between Tristan and West as they each struggle to move on from grief. As well as West finding his own way and seeking independence. The fears, the grief, the vulnerability, all the emotions can be felt and that’s one of the many things I love about this author. Her ability to convey her characters emotions through the pages is one of the many reasons why she is an instant go to for me.
This story is a slow burn romance. It’s a sweet torture because you’re rooting for these guys and want them to just end up together already because they are so damn perfect for each other. Tristan’s patience and compassion towards West is so damn endearing and I just wanted to squeeze and kiss him for being fucking perfect!! And West…..GAH! West was just adorable and sad and broken and confused yet so damn strong for wanting to break free and find his own way and seek his own independence. OMG…These two men were just sweet, sexy, hot and PERFECT! Christina Lee did such a phenomenal job on their journey to finding peace, companion and love. I loved the way their friendship just flourished into something so breathtakingly beautiful. Once again, absolute perfection from Christina Lee and I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

EXCERPT
“If I did, I’d miss out on whatever meal you promised as payback,” he replied with a smirk. “And believe me, I’m all for that.”
A nervous laugh jumped from my throat, even though the idea of cooking for him—for anybody, really—thrilled me. I pulled the sticky orange life vest over my neck and fastened it, figuring I’d bob around at first and get used to the water.
After I jumped in, I stuck close to Tristan, still nervous that I’d somehow float away from him and feel abandoned in this giant body of water.
“You ready to try without the life vest?” he asked in a tentative voice.
My pulse pitched, but I still nodded. I knew he wouldn’t leave me stranded or let anything happen to me.
“We’ll just practice floating.”
Tugging me closer to the edge of the boat, he helped unsnap the vest. As he fished it over my shoulders, his gaze met mine. “It’s okay. I got you.”
He placed the vest on the platform, where my fingers were digging into the edge for dear life.
Tristan moved behind me, his hands winding around my waist, and I immediately felt goose bumps line my skin. Just like I did when I was lying in bed with him. His lips found my ear, and it made all the hair along my nape stand on end. “Breathe, West. It’s going to be okay.”
