BLURB:

A weekend fling in Atlantic City couldn’t be more out of socially shy Zach Cohen’s comfort zone, but a bet with his best friends forces him to put aside the humiliation he’s hidden for years, stepping away from his computer screens and on-line world. When he meets Sam Stein, despite their spark, Zach expects nothing more than a night of passion and a kiss goodbye. Yet weeks later, he can’t keep the man out of his head.

After a split second decision with tragic results ends his twenty year police career at the same time his relationship falls apart, Sam Stein is drifting through life. At his best friend’s urging he agrees to a trip to Atlantic City to clear his head. What Sam doesn’t plan on is meeting Zach Cohen, whose sweet nature and honesty has him thinking maybe he could move forward, until Zach leaves him without explanation, reinforcing Sam’s belief that people can’t be trusted.

Well-meaning friends refuse to let Zach and Sam hide from each other, forcing them to realize their weekend is much more than a one night stand. Before that can happen, Zach must come to terms with his past and stand up for his own independence, while Sam has to learn to take a chance and believe in himself and people again. All bets are off when dreams become reality and forever doesn’t seem to be long enough

REVIEW:

It is no secret that I fell hard for the first book in this series and with all the characters involved. I was super excited to for this second book and couldn’t wait to start reading it. I wanted Zach’s story!

You just can’t help loving the character of Zach. He is a bit broken, loyal to the bone, and kind and caring to the people he loves. He lives with his mother and enjoys the friendship he has with the two (now three) men he shares the Breakfast Club with, whom we know from the first part of this series consisting of Marcus, Julian and his man Nick.

Thank you to the author for making this a series where we catch up and see the characters from the first book. It is such a wonderful thing to read about the other men and their friendship.

But back to Zach. When on a whim Zach decides to let go when he is attending a conference in Atlantic City, he meets Sam, ex-cop who’s a sexy ( Zach’s interpetation) older man and Sam has his own luggage in his backpack.

What starts with mutual sexual attraction and a one night stand turns into something more when both man run into each other under difficult circumstances and Zach decides to take a chance.

Author Felice Stevens touches something within the reader with this series, something so genuine, so real and there is so much humanity in this and you can find in either of the characters.

We travel with Zach and Sam, going through ups and downs, wondering if they will make it at the end. We wonder if they are strong enough, if they can open up and let go of their personal issues, if they can set it all aside and move on. Do they dare to jump and leap?

I personally loved the indepth development of both main characters including the building of their trust. The chemistry is off the charts and the love making is beautiful, hot, sexy yet erotic and tender and the author sure know how to write that down.

For me this is the series to go buy and read at the moment, leaving me nothing more to say than “Please Miss Stevens write fast because I am not above begging to get to read Marcus’ story ASAP”. Who will touch him and “bring him down”…
