BLURB:

Will the demons of the past ruin any hope for the future?

If there’s anyone who knows how to have a good time—be it with a man or a woman—it’s Ryder Pearce. Master of the nail-it-and-bail-it theory, he lives his life for one person and one person only: himself. When a man enters Ryder’s life who challenges him on every flirtation, every sexual innuendo he can come up with, Ryder’s thrown off his game in a big way. Because there’s one thing the man has made perfectly clear—they’ve played this game before, and Ryder doesn’t remember the outcome.

Avery Hamilton has seen all of Ryder’s moves and has witnessed his sex appeal. He knows all too well about his cocky sense of humor and his penchant for one-night stands. There was a time in his life when he’d taken the bait, but this time around, he wants more. He’s seen Ryder’s act; what he hasn’t seen is Ryder—the real Ryder he hides from the world.

When both men come together to help a young boy, Ryder’s forced to face things from his past he’s blocked out. Things he never wanted anyone to know. Now, Ryder has one fear… Will revealing that side of himself be real enough for Avery? Or will it be the reason Avery walks away?

REVIEW:

What an incredible story. I was waiting for this story. With The chemistry between Avery and Ryder and the way they bickered at each other, I knew they’d have some kind of story.

What I didn’t expect was what that story entailed. Ryder always seems like a happy to lucky guys. He always makes people laugh. He comes in to Avery like gang busters with that cocky attitude, but Avery started seeing a new side to Ryder. Especially when his neighbor died and the little boy was missing. He didn’t want Chris to go through what he did in his life, so he was determined to make it right for Chris. But dealing with Chris is bringing up old scars for Ryder and he’s having a hard time dealing. Avery is doing his best to be there for both of them, but sometimes it’s hard. Especially when, Ryder shuts him out. Avery has an idea to hopefully make things better, but will it make Ryder happy or run scared.

I was shocked when I read Ryder’s story. Completely shocked. I still am. I never saw it coming and it blew me away. But it explains some things. I was shocked with Avery as well. He finally let go and started to see a side to Ryder he never looked for before. And when he saw the changes in Ryder, he started changing himself. And for the better. Doesn’t mean they didn’t have bad days. They did. But both became better for knowing each other, whether they wanted to believe It out
