BLURB:

Mason Hayes’s love life has a long history of losers who don’t see that Mason’s heart is as deep and tender as his mouth is awkward. He wants kindness, he wants love—and he wants someone who thinks sex is as fantastic as he does. When Terry Jefferson first asks him out, Mason thinks it’s a fluke: Mason is too old, too boring, and too blurty to interest someone as young and hot as his friend’s soccer teammate.

The truth is much more painful: Mason and Terry are perfectly compatible, and they totally get each other, but Terry is still living with his toxic, suffocating parent and Mason doesn’t want to be a sugar daddy. Watching Terry struggle to find himself is a long lesson in patience, but Mason needs to trust that the end result will be worth it, because finally, he’s found a man worth sharing his heart with.

REVIEW:

I needed this absolutely adorable story so friggin much, you have no idea. This was Amy Lane at her finest. There wasn’t much about this story that I didn’t like. Any Amy Lane fan knows she does the absolute perfect amounts of angst, pain, passion, love, and hope in her stories and this one has it all.

Mason Hayes doesn’t really do subtle. He says what he thinks and means what he says. He’s older but that doesn’t stop him from crushing on a much younger man. A man he knows couldn’t possibly be attracted to an older, awkward Mason.

Terry Jefferson wanted Mason Hayes pretty much from the first moment he met him. But he really didn’t think he had a chance. All Terry’s experience consists of rushed hookups and nothing meaningful so what he had initially thought was casual turned into a lot more and he’s unprepared how to deal with it.

Mason and Terry have plenty they need to work out. Mason is completely settled in life. Successful, strong support system, happy and Terry is the complete opposite. Terry is young and his home life is a wreck but he’s smart and knows a good thing when he sees one. And Mason is a very good thing.

I really loved Mason and Terry together. I’ve loved Mason from book 1 and it was awesome to read him fully developed. Together they were so incredibly passionate and caring. Also, the relationship Mason had with his family especially Dane was so endearing I absolutely adored it.

Great book. Great story. Perfect addition to this amazing series…and duh, I can’t wait until book 3…!

Recommend.
