Blurb:
At forty, Lan Davis is looking for his damned picket fence and 2.5 kids. What he doesn’t expect is instead of a wife in the picture, his mind keeps conjuring up images of two men. One, his partner in the force, who is as straight as they came, the other an ex, who he’d hurt but never forgot.
After an incident leaves Lan injured, the two men rally around him… only maybe they shouldn’t have. It seems a medicated Lan is a truthful one.
Parker Wilding is pissed at the world. His anger builds when
his partner refuses medical care after an attack. Instead, Lan entrusts his neighbour to take care of him—a guy Parker doesn’t trust. While he’s aware they share a history, when the past is revealed, the truth shocks the hell out of him.

Being emotionally crushed ten years ago, Easton Ravel hoped he would never have to see the man who broke him again. Hope is a fickle b*itch. And now he’s not sure how to handle being face-to-face with the man he once loved. Add in the mix the annoying, testy Parker, and Easton finds his limits are pushed.
Just not in the way he thought they would be.
What happens next sure does come out of the blue.

My Thoughts:
It’s pretty sad when a child has to hide something because they
have a jack*ss for a parent. Parents are
supposed to love us unconditionally. The
one place you hope never to see prejudice is in your own family.
Easton Ravel seems to have issues with constant
disappointments. Lan Davis seems
conflicted about what he wants. Parker
Wilding is a friend who may have to push his limits. We have three men who don’t seem to have
anything in common. But Lan and Parker
do have a history that’s different from the history Lan has with Easton. What a tangled web we weave! And that’s one thing that makes a great
author.
The author writes a scene where there’s an awkward statement
made. It felt like I was there in the
room and not having any trouble feeling the uneasiness of the situation. On thing that impressed me was how this
author went about creating their world. It
had a realism about it and it’s a story that could take place anywhere in the
world. She also knew what to include
that would grab my attention and left me wanting to read more of her books. If you’re a fan of the MC genre than you will
be happy to know that she has a series and some of the members make an
appearance here.
I was happily reading along and came upon a scene that totally
grossed me out. You will have no trouble
recognizing it, once you come upon it, because I’m sure you will have the same
reaction – shiver. That didn’t stop me
from turning the page. I had to find out
what our author had in store for her characters. She did not make me feel uncomfortable about
what I was reading. There was no trouble
in hearing the conversations play out in my head. This author also knows how to create plenty
of heat and gives me an Epilogue that made me happy since it tied up loose ends
as well as letting me know what becomes of our main characters – no cliffhanger
here.
