BLURB:
Wyatt Batista has sworn off love. Can his new friend and business partner make him believe in happily ever after?
Having spent most of his adult life lusting after a man who could never be his, Wyatt Batista resolves to steer clear of love. That’s all fine and dandy, until he meets Nathan.
After an accident sends his carefully planned future off course, Nathan Hardy leaves Seattle in search of new horizons and adventures. When his path crosses that of Wyatt, he enters into a business partnership with a man he comes to admire and respect deeply.
But what starts out as friendship soon turns into something neither of them expected. Wyatt finds himself falling hard for someone who he believes could never return his love once more, while Nathan becomes aware of feelings he never imagined he would harbor toward another man.
Can Nathan convince Wyatt that he is serious about giving their relationship a try? Or will Wyatt run again, too fearful to trust and accept a man who wasn’t gay in the first place?
REVIEW:
Nathan after a near death experience, evaluates his life and decides to make big changes, including dumping his fiancé just weeks before their wedding, leaving his job and going across country to start a new life.
Wyatt has pined after his straight best friend for years, but when his best friend marries, he swears off straight men and is determined to find his own love match.
Two men worlds apart, but when Wyatt needs a new designer for his business and Nathan applies for the job, a strong business relationship, morphs into a friendship and maybe something more.
I loved Nathan’s courage in the face of adversity, he was tenacious recovering from his accident and true to himself when he looked over his life and decided big changes were needed. I really liked how they both eased into their strong friendship, building their bonds working together and slowly over time becoming friends. The parts where they interact with the group of friends were brilliant, I also enjoyed seeing the friends that I had read about in previous books pop back in this book.
Nathan’s gay awakening, his confusion over his feelings for Wyatt, his I’m not sure what is happening and how to feel.
Wyatt was determined never to pine over a straight guy again. Nathan was straight, he nearly married a woman and Wyatt really valued their working relationship and their friendship and was worried about jeopardising everything. Wyatt being sure that this time would be the same as the last time, years pining, then the straight guy marries his girl.
The best thing was them both exploring their feelings for each other, the realisation that those feelings had moved from friendship into something more and then they were both wrestling with their feelings about what they should do. Move forward into unknown territory or back off and go back to friendship or even leave altogether. Nathan musing to himself whether he is Wyatt’s type, wondering what his type is, there were so many lovely moments as they both come to terms with their feelings for each other.
I really liked this latest book in the series, a sweet gay awakening romance.
