Review: This is book three in this series and normally I think it would be better to start with book one. However, with these books they can be read as stand-alone. It was a cute little short story but to short for me to really enjoy. I want to read more about Max and Charlie. They seem to be so far apart in certain parts of their lives, but you come to realize that they have so much more going for them.
Max’s ex-boyfriend and current roommate had griped about the fact that all their landscape workers were not there. Max had informed him that it was because of Ray himself. So he had gone looking for someone to take over the work and came across Charlie. Ray was the man who Max had loved at one time, now he was a mean drunk.
Whereas Charlie had been a man let down by his friend and coworker. He had lost everything including his home and he had been bankrupt. Only looking for work, he ended up finding someone who could make him see the stars. Neither man is in the position to start something but it seems like life has a way of starting it for you.
I felt so bad for these two men, to have lost so much but have the ability to still love. Max’s ex is a total jerk and so was Charlie’s. One man had been living the dream as the other had lost his. It tears you up inside to see that this happens. You feel so much for these two very sexy men and hope that they will reach for each other. I would like to read more about these two men. I loved the story but it was too short to fully enjoy the way it should. It is an easy to story to read on a break, or right before bedtime.
I would recommend reading it. It gives you sexy men, hot and passionate sex, mean drunks, and the backbone to stand up for what you believe.
