Luke:
It has been a year since I escaped my three years of hell. Twelve months, and yet I felt just as broken as I had all those months ago. I had a job now, a home and people who cared about me, and yet I was all alone in this darkness that surrounded me. My past haunted me day and night and there was no one who could protect me from it.
Until I met Scott.
Scott:
Losing every person I loved one after the other made me realise just how much loving someone could hurt. Without even realising, I made a decision to never love another person again, lest I lost them too. For years, my life revolved around studying and then working and the only person I was close to was my best friend, who wouldn’t leave me alone, no matter what I tried. I was content to stay alone.
Until I met Luke.
A man shy of loving someone again and a man haunted by his past. Will they be able to help each other heal? Or will they just end up breaking each other?
REVIEW:
This is a powerful story that may hit a lot of trigger points for some readers. In this particular story, Luke’s life has been anything but joyful since being kicked out at the age of 16. The brutality starts from there for him, which for me was just hard. Reading about him living in the streets was difficult, but the monster of it all is where he ends up for the next few years. Imagine your worst nightmares of being taken against your will and used. Broken, scarred, and used up.
Then along comes Scott, who is more of an introvert because the fear of losing anyone that is close to him actually has him closed off to the world.
As I read these words, I start to feel where the author wants to take me. Having these two men finding each other has so many highs and lows. If you are looking for lots of sex, then this will not be the book for you. Simply because neither character is after that. Which honestly, this story line would not have worked with those kind of scenes.
The side characters were exactly what each leading character needed to enhance the story even more.
I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
