BLURB
Caleb White has been a lot of places and made a lot of decisions he isn’t proud of. He’s ready to settle down and figure out who he really is. Where better to do that than Last Chance, the home he was ripped away from at sixteen? A fresh start is in order, but he has no idea how the hell to do that when he’s not even sure what he wants in the first place.
Ryan Daily is a pro at hiding his insecurities. He’s never fit in and has spent most of his life knowing there’s something missing. Just when he thought he’d found it, his whole world fell apart and he lost everything.
Then comes a sleepless night in a twenty-four-hour café, where Caleb and Ryan forge a connection full of laughs, junk food, and whispered secrets. In the middle of a budding friendship, they see the blossoming of desire neither of them expected. Ryan has kept his heart protected after having it shattered, and Caleb—no stranger to attraction—finds what he has with Ryan is on a whole new level from anything he’s experienced before. In a world of black and white, they bring each other color.
But life is never simple. When the past comes knocking, Ryan and Caleb will have to reach through the darkness to find the light they see in each other or risk slipping into the shadows for good.
REVIEW
5 Stars
An absolute must read! Riley Hart did a phenomenal job. It's my favorite read from this author to date. Caleb and Ryan were just so perfect. This story was full of so much passion. The chemistry between the characters were off the charts.
It was intimate. It was sexy. It was fun. It was absolutely EVERYTHING!!! I love these guys. I swooned and swooned and swooned some more. The emotions and intimacy was oozing from the pages. These two will give you ALL THE FEELS! I loved everything about this book. I was captivated page after page. I read this in one sitting because I just couldn't get enough. I want more more more Caleb and Ryan. Their journey was just so pure and beautiful and touching. I could go on and on about how much I loved this story and these characters.
Riley Hart really poured her heart into this one and you can feel it. This one just screams SPECIAL and MAGICAL! It was so beautifully written and the emotions just touch you to the core. I loved the friendship development. It was just absolutely mesmerizing! Just absolute perfection. I haven't read the first book in this series and it's totally not necessary as this reads just fine as a standalone but the secondary characters are just too damn cute and now I need to go back and read their journey. Highly recommended!!

EXCERPT
At eleven forty-five, he made his way downstairs to see that
Ryan was already there waiting for him. They were supposed to be at Shane’s
around noon. “We taking my car? I’m not sure I can be seen in yours. I have a
reputation to uphold.” Caleb watched, waiting for Ryan to react to his ribbing.
He did, looking up at Caleb through a fan of his dark lashes
as Caleb stood on the stairs. Jesus, he was sexy as hell. His hair was messy,
which Caleb fucking loved. He wore jeans—not the ones Caleb said he liked—and a
button-up black shirt with long sleeves.
He looked so damn innocent, unsure, as he gave Caleb a
playful grin and rolled his eyes. “Not flashy enough for ya, huh? The car
doesn’t make the man, Salt Fiend.”
The silly nickname sat warm in his chest. “Oh, fuck you.” Caleb
reached the bottom step. “I know what kind of man I am, thank you very much.
Grab your keys. You can drive. I didn’t want to anyway. Might even take a short
nap on the way home—my belly will be so full and all.”
“Well, shit.” Ryan followed behind him. “I didn’t think this
through. Do I get a take-back?”
“Nope.” Caleb grabbed his jacket from the chair, then
reached for Ryan’s, handing it over.
“Thanks.” His eyes darted away, looking almost bashful. “We
need a coatrack.”
They’d managed to break through the first layer of tension;
Caleb could feel it. Unfortunately, the bastard seemed fucking thick, and he
thought they still had a way to go. “We do.”
Ryan felt his pockets, Caleb assumed, for his keys. His
guess was confirmed when he pulled them out and said, “We should be on our
way.”
They made it almost to the door before his stupid fucking
mouth got in the way. “You look good, by the way.”
Ryan stumbled. Caleb reached out and wrapped his hand around
Ryan’s bicep. “No need to get all flustered, Sweet Tooth.”
“I’m not flustered.”
“Not even a little?” Caleb asked.
“Maybe a little.”
He had a feeling that was the case. “I’ll give you space.
We’re good, though? You and me? I didn’t fuck up?”
“No.” Ryan reached out then and fixed Caleb’s hood, which
had accidentally gotten tucked into the back of his jacket. “You didn’t fuck
up. We’re good.”
Caleb nodded. That was exactly what he needed to hear.
Riley Hart is the girl who wears her heart on her sleeve. She’s a hopeless romantic, a lover of sexy stories, passionate men, and writing about all the trouble they can get into together.
She loves reading, flawed characters, and hanging out with her husband and children, who she adores. She and her family live in Southern California, soaking up the sunshine while also missing seasons. Not a day goes by that she isn’t thankful she gets to wake up and do what she loves.
Life is good. Riley also writes young adult and new adult under the name Nyrae Dawn.
