BLURB:
Ten years ago, Morgan Weaver walked away from everything he loved—his burgeoning career as a composer, his cello, and his best friend, James. Family obligations and guilt keep him tied to a job he hates, and his dreams have collected even more dust than his instrument.
James Shepherd was left reeling when Morgan abandoned not only their dreams of writing and performing together, but their friendship. James forged on to become an internationally known musician, but he’s always felt Morgan’s loss and has never been able to shake the feeling that he’s responsible for the other man’s choice to leave everything behind.
A simple request from Morgan’s sister brings the men together in a way neither of them expected, and long-denied desire bubbles to the surface overwhelming them both. Knowing it’s only temporary, Morgan finds himself lost in a haze of submission, finally able to experience being at James’ mercy and determined to enjoy it while it lasts. James, however, has other plans and is equally determined to show Morgan he can have all he’s ever wanted—including what they have together.
REVIEW:
When I saw the blurb for this book, I was very intrigued. I love a story regarding second chances and lovers reuniting. This book was so wonderfully sweet and just made me smile. Well, smile and make me want to hit someone.
So, with that in mind…here we go!!!
Morgan Weaver is a man whose life isn’t want he wanted for himself. He has ALWAYS wanted to play music. However, that wasn’t what his life became. He did what was expected of him by his father and had taken his rightful place as the heir apparent. Unfortunately, that isn’t working out for him. His heart isn’t in it. He does what he must to get things done, but it’s just a job. It’s not what makes his heart soar. It has been so damn long since Morgan has picked up his cello, that he wouldn’t remember what to do. Morgan is just so damn unhappy. Not only is he working a job that he really hates, but he’s been denying himself the chance for love and companionship.
James “Jamie” Shepherd is a world-renowned cellist who is an old friend of Morgan’s. James has the world at his feet and yet, the most important thing that he’s ever wanted isn’t there, Morgan. James has always wanted Morgan and the music that they wanted to create together. James is really talented. He can play with so much soul and passion. James has stayed friends with Morgan’s sister and for her wedding…James is going to play and he wants Morgan with him. I love that James is a pushy character when is comes to dealing with Morgan. I love that he knows just how to push his buttons. James is such a strong character and even when he’s a bit vulnerable…he’s still strong and dependable. I love that he wants Morgan in his life and that he’s going to do whatever he has to in order to make it work.
They were roommates in college and one night when things went a bit farther than they were ready for. That moment changed the way things were for both of them and it sent them on their separate paths. I like that these two men have the chance to right the future. You can’t change the past, but you can make a fresh start and these guys have to muddle thru the past in order for them to accept the future. I like that they both want the present and that Morgan has to make decisions based on what’s right for him. I like that each character has to grow up and realize that you can’t make the decision for someone else on how to live your life, you have to make those decisions for yourself.
These two men both grow up during this story and it was so wonderful to see. I love seeing them together and seeing how they relate to each other and just how their friendship grew into lots of love and happiness.
Now, as with most stories, there are those who aren’t the nicest of people. Morgan’s father was that guy in the story. He was so into his business and pretty much bullied his family. To put business before your family is just so damn wrong and this guy hated the fact that his son was gay and made Morgan hide who he was. But as it happens, he got his comeuppance and that makes me happy.
The sexy times in this story was really nice and sexy. I enjoyed seeing their relationship blossom and grow.
