Entanglements and complications ooze from Trevor, but Haydn can’t ignore him—Trevor won’t let him.

Review: This is the third book in a series that should be read in order to fully appreciate all the characters.
Haydn Prescott has never thought of himself as the type to settle down. He witnessed firsthand as his grandparents and parents slowly drove each other mad, and they are still together, miserable as ever. He remembers all too well, how the breakup in the beginning of his best friend Oliver’s relationship with Mack almost killed both of them. Of course, they’re happy now… or as Haydn likes to think of it, for now. Thanks, but no thanks are his thoughts. He is not, however, in objection to a night of mind-blowing sex with the guy he meets at the bar.
Trevor Ryan spots Haydn the second he walks into the bar, and he likes what he sees. The two share a sex filled one nightstand and that’s the end of it. But Trevor can’t stop thinking about Haydn. So when he, his daughter and sister wander into the bakery one day, both Trevor and Haydn are taken aback to find each other where they live. Sparks fly once again and they quickly find themselves in familiar territory.
The pair share more than just an explosive sex life. There is a deep mutual attraction and communication seems to flow. But Haydn is so dead set on being in a committed relationship that as soon as a good time starts to show signs of something long-term, he freaks and runs. Trevor is determined to prove to Haydn that they can be together and be happy.
Ashwood is one of my favorite authors in the genre. I especially love the way she has written this series focusing on a specific coupling within each book, but still intertwining all the couples and characters into every story. There is a way that this author explores the passion between two men that is absolutely breathtaking, captivating and downright sexy! But there is a valid storyline underneath that aspect as well.
If you are a reader that likes stories about never giving up and finding your HEA, then this is the series for you.
