Synopsis
Who are we? Like you even need to ask. We’re the seven richer-than-sin legacies causing debauchery at the prestigious Astor University in Manhattan.
Some call us spoiled.
Some call us trouble.
But everyone calls us the Park Avenue Princes.
Weston LaRue
“The Playboy”
I’m never one to turn down a bet. Especially not when it comes to retaliating against the dean for pulling a dick move before summer break.
So when the dean’s golden child arrives at Astor for his freshman year, my fellow troublemakers throw down a wager I can’t resist.
The target: the dean’s son, John Thomas Hawthorne, or “JT.”
The bet: corruption in any way I choose.
It should’ve been easy. With his mess of brown curls, pouty lips, and good-boy reputation, JT is the perfect revenge. And even better? He’s straight.
Challenge accepted. I’ll do whatever it takes to prove a point, no matter how reckless it might be.
Game. On.

There is no other feeling in the world if you are a book lover than finding out one of your favorite writing duos is starting a new series! Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine are bringing it with the Park Avenue Princes! And there are seven of them! Woohoo! Weston LaRue is one of the richest students at Astor University and when he and his friends make a bet about the dean’s son as revenge, he didn’t see JT coming. He thought it would be easy, he’s handsome, innocent and definitely corruptible. JT was warned about West and his friends, but he wants to make his own choices. West seems nice and friendly and wants to give JT the college experience. JT has never been attracted to men before but there’s something about West. He’s handsome, cocky, confident and friendly. He’s also flirty and keeps showing up wherever JT is. The closer they get, the more JT relaxes and just lets things happen. He’s attracted to West. A lot. It seems natural and right. West didn’t expect to like JT, but he does. More than he’s ever liked another man. He’s good, nice and makes him a better man. But that all goes up in smoke when JT finds out about the bet. He not only broke JT’s heart, he broke his own. Now he needs to find a way to fix it and get JT back. JT isn’t going to make it easy and that’s one of the things I love about him! He might be young, but he’s tough and smart! I loved these two! They are opposites, but they go together so well. They are funny, sexy and even a little sweet. They share things about their lives and are open to learning new things. I’m already addicted to these characters and I can’t wait for more!

Release Blitz & Review – Off The Grid, K. Bromberg
September 14, 2023 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By Two Book Pushers
Off the Grid by K. Bromberg is now live!
Spencer Riggs is fighting for his place, his name, in the elite sport of Formula 1.
His ultimate dream. A future determined by his past. His legacy.
He’s passionate, reckless, and unswerving in his pursuit of all things.
Including me.
Camilla Moretti was determined to never return to one thing: Formula 1.
Shadows had kept her away, but family devotion brought her back. After all, Moretti Motorsports is her legacy.
She’s dynamic, intelligent, and spectacular, and someone I can’t seem to stay away from. Nor want to.
I have an objective. A lifelong goal. But I might throw it all away for her.

Off the Grid is the first book in the Full Throttle series by K. Bromberg. I am late to game when it comes to Kristy’s racing books so I am so happy that she has started a new series! Woohoo!
Camilla Moretti walked away from the racing world six years ago. She was involved with the family’s other business, olive oil. She loved being in Italy using her marketing degree but when he father asks her to move to London to help with the Formula 1 team, she goes. It’s not easy for her but she knows how important it is for her father and the team. On her first day, a new racer joins the team, and she so happened to meet him a few weeks ago… Let’s just say it didn’t end well.
Spencer Riggs wasn’t happy about the way he promoted to F1 but this was his chance to prove that it was exactly where he belong. He was tired of being compared to his father. He was his own person. Had his own racing style. He was both nervous and excited for this opportunity. Who he didn’t expect to be there on his first day was the woman he couldn’t forget and she was the boss’s daughter…
F*ck.
They needed to keep their relationship purely professional but it was hard when they were working together. Traveling together. The tension was crazy. The push and pull of it all. Camilla didn’t want him but he was the first person in years to make her feel that rush. The rush of excitement, lust, including all the tingles. But, will it jeopardize Riggs chance in F1?
Overall, it’s a rush!

Release Blitz, Excerpt & Giveaway:
You, Again
By Lane Hayes
The Elmwood Stories, Book 1
The hometown hockey hero and his best friend’s brother…
Vinnie
Hockey is in my blood. I learned to skate before I learned how to ride a bike. I’ve been on a wild ride, playing at the highest level for some of the biggest and best teams in the league. But now it’s over, and I’m not sure what to do with myself.
So I’m going home to Elmwood.
But I’ll tell you what I’m not gonna do—I’m not going to coach my buddy’s junior hockey league. No chance. I don’t know how to deal with kids, and besides, the other coach—who happens to be my best friend’s brother—hates me. With reason.
That may be old news, yet something tells me we’re going to have to deal with the past.
And that’s almost as scary as coaching teens.
Nolan
No, I don’t hate Vinnie, but he drives me nuts.
He’s cocky, goofy, selfish, and yeah…after all these years, I’m still attracted to him. But I’m a responsible adult now. I run my family’s business, and with the help of my ex, I’ve made Elmwood Diner into a New England institution.
So maybe my life isn’t particularly exciting at the moment, and maybe Vinnie isn’t the worst. Nonetheless, I have no desire to rekindle a friendship with the hockey hero who no doubt will be on the first flight out of town the second he gets bored or gets a better offer.
And I’m not coaching with him. No way.
Ugh…
I can’t believe I’m doing this again.
You, Again is an MM bisexual, best friend’s brother, frenemies to lovers romance featuring old friends, a new quest, and a little hockey HEA!

You, Again is the first book in a new series, The Elmwood stories, by Lane Hayes. I love Lane and her books and I always get so excited when she starts a new series. This story is small town, second chance, best friend’s brother romance and I loved it! Nolan is Vinnie’s best friend’s brother and they grew up together. They had a brief tryst when they were teenagers and then Vinnie left for college and then the NHL. Now he’s coming back to town for the summer after retirement. Nolan isn’t thrilled about it, but knows his brother needs Vinnie’s help. Nolan just has to remember to let those old feelings die and try to get along with Vinnie. Vinnie never forgot Nolan. He went on to have a great life, hockey, women. But now that he’s back all feelings he had for Nolan come rushing back. And they aren’t all friendly. He always knew he wasn’t as straight as he showed the world, and now that he’s near Nolan again, he wants him. He just needs to get him to trust him again. Nolan isn’t sure he can just be Vinnie’s little secret, but he wants to be. He needs to learn to live in the moment and just enjoy their time together. When the summer is over they will part as friends. Easy peasy. Will Vinnie want to stay home? Will Nolan open up his heart again? I love Nolan and Vinnie! They are funny, sexy, sweet and I love all the history they have together. I also love that Vinnie never questioned his feelings. He didn’t have a crisis, just knew that it felt right. Looking forward to the next book in the series!
Excerpt:
Vinnie set a twenty on the table and stood. “Thanks for the coffee.”
“It’s on the house,” I insisted, pushing the money toward him.
“No, no. I support local businesses. Keep the change.”
His over-the-top wink practically begged me to roll my eyes, but I had more to say. We had to clear the air…at least a little.
“Um…hey, even if you don’t make it through summer, your presence alone is good for business for the whole town. ‘NHL Hero Comes Home’ and all that bullshit. If you don’t mind the attention, and I’m assuming you don’t—come help out at the rink. It’s easy and fun. You won’t regret it.”
Vinnie rubbed his scruffy jaw thoughtfully. “Okay. I’ll do it.”
I smiled tentatively and raised my hand for a high five. “Great.”
“But only if you’re my assistant.”
“What?” I pulled my hand away before he could slap it, furrowing my brow. “No way. Gavin is perfectly capable of—”
“Nope. It has to be you.”
I frowned. “Why?”
“ ’Cause…” Vinnie blew out an exasperated breath. “I want to fix this. Me and you. And I can’t do that if you ignore me.”
And just like that, the invisible wall between us shook in its foundation.
“We’re fine,” I bluffed.
Vinnie arched a brow. “You’re mad at me. I know why, and I get it. We don’t have to go into it now, but at the very least, we should call a truce ’cause if we’re working with impressionable teens, you really oughtta be nice to me, Moore.”
My mouth opened in a perfect O. “I’ve been perfectly civil to you. More civil than you deserve, Kiminski.”
“See? That wasn’t nice,” he teasingly scolded. “I can’t believe I’m the voice of reason here.”
I fixed him with a bored sardonic stare. “You are never the voice of reason.”
“I kind of am now.”
“No, you aren’t.”
“Yes, I am.”
“No, you—oh, my God.” I pointed at the door. “Good-bye, Vinnie.”
He snickered, flashing a lopsided devil-may-care grin my way. “Wait up. Let’s seal the deal on this truce.”
“Oh, brother.”
“I’m serious. Let’s shake hands, hug it out, kiss and make up, or all of the above.”
I regarded his outstretched hand suspiciously and cautiously slid my palm against his. “Fine. Truce.”
“See, that didn’t sound friendly. You ruined it. Gimme a hug,” he demanded, pulling me into a bear hug, squeezing me hard enough to crack a rib.
I let out an oomph of surprise and tried to wriggle out of his hold. He took the hint and loosened his grip. I knew it was all in good fun or at least meant to playfully rile me up, but when he bent to kiss my cheek, I turned my head just as he swooped in and bam! Our lips collided in an actual, honest-to-God kiss.
A fucking kiss.
I couldn’t speak for Vinnie, but I was too shocked to move.
We’d been here before.
Sure, it had been almost twenty years ago, but I was positive neither of us was looking for a repeat. I certainly wasn’t. Any second now, he’d back up, swipe his hand across his mouth and make some ridiculous joke to right the balance. But he didn’t.
He softened his lips and molded them to mine, tilting his chin as if testing a new angle. And suddenly, this felt real.
Oh, no.
Oh…no.
I pushed out of his arms, sucking in a gulp of air.
Holy shit.
My heart beat like a drum, and my mouth was bone dry.
“I think—I think we’re good now,” I rasped.
Vinnie’s shell-shocked expression gave way to something unreadable. He scratched his nape and stepped aside.
“Yeah. Uh…what time is practice?”
“Thursday at three.”
He nodded and tried a smile that never reached his eyes. “Cool. See ya, Nol.”
I froze in place as the door swung shut behind him, willing my heartbeat to calm the fuck down.
Did that happen?
It wasn’t real. I knew that, but he didn’t pull away. He lingered, he pressed closer, he…he kissed me.
Reality check: Vinnie was a notorious prankster. He was always doing something to push boundaries—make you laugh, make you mad, make you stop taking life so damned seriously. Silly was his fallback language. If lighthearted pranks and teasing kept some uncomfortable parts of the past at bay, I was all for it.
But I was still confused. Very confused.

The Tease is the third book in The Virgin Society by Lauren Blakely. I’m loving this series and I love this father’s best friend, age-gap, single dad romance! We have known Jules for a while and now we get her full story! She likes to pretend. And when she has the opportunity to play piano at a masquerade party she’s all in. She meets a sexy, older man and they have an instant connection. It’s hot and sexy and then it turns out it’s her father’s best friend. They can’t see each other again, but it’s hard to stay away. Especially when they find themselves working together. In Paris. All bets are off. Now they just have to decide if they are going to fight for what they want or stop because it’s forbidden? I love Jules and Finn! They are fun, sexy, sweet and perfect for each other. I loved seeing the other characters from the series!
Audio: Vanessa Edwin and Jason Clarke did a fantastic job narrating Jules and Finn. They are a few of my favorites!
Blurb:
I swear I’m a good girl.
I didn’t go to the exclusive, after-hours masquerade to kiss my dad’s best friend. I didn’t even know who the masked man was when he touched me like I was his every fantasy.
But when I learn exactly how off-limits my new lover is, I do my best to avoid him the next time. Except, he has his sinful sights set on me, even when he discovers who I am. Just one time, he whispers. Then we’ll pretend this never happened.
Seems the enigmatic, gorgeous single dad I’ve known by day is a very dirty man after dark.
But one night turns into a stolen weekend, giving me a taste of so much more. When it ends, we vow to stay apart.
We could never work.
He’s focused on raising his young son, and I can’t let my already damaged family break more. But the caring, possessive man keeps coming back to me, and these secret nights tangled up together are turning into tender moments that make my heart thunder.
And soon, this tease of a forbidden romance is making me want so much more than I can ever have…

The first time I met Winter Marks, I almost took her out with my Jeep.
To be fair, she came out of nowhere.
I flirted with her, and she flipped me off and disappeared into the woods on her bike.
But she left me a souvenir: a single hockey skate.
Seemed to me that divine intervention shouldn’t be ignored.
She was my icy Cinderella and I would be her Prince Not-So-Charming.
Winter was more than just a sassy, badass hockey-playing hottie.
She’s stuck in a prison of a life. And I’m the perfect escape.
Neither of us expected to fall.
Or for the truth to shatter us.

Shattered Truths is the third book in the Lies, Hearts, and Truths series by H. Hunting. I love this series to the ends of the earth. This is the second generation from the Pucked series and since Randy was my favorite, I’ve been waiting for his son’s story. BJ, the ultimate good guy who looks like a bad boy. The fun-loving player who’s a badass figure skater. A chance meeting with his car and her bike, Winter isn’t thrilled to see BJ again. She has no idea who he is, but quickly learns in Pearl Lake everyone knows everyone! She didn’t realize BJ would find her, convince her to join him and his friends on the ice and definitely didn’t expect to actually like him. Just being who he is, he opens door for Winter that she never thought possible. BJ has never felt for anyone the way he feels for Winter. He wants to get to know her, spend time with her and yes, kiss the life out of her, but he wants to take it slow. Prove to her that he’s serious. Winter’s life isn’t easy and BJ just wants to be there for her in whatever ways she needs. He shows up, he cares and he keeps showing her he’s not going anywhere. As their relationship progresses, they learn to tell each other the truth, be open and listen. Winter is there when BJ needs her the most and she returns all the favors. She’s there for him, she pushes him and she just loves him. This story. Oh. My. God. I had to sit for a few days before I could even figure out what to say and it’s not even coming out right. I can’t express how much I love BJ and Winter. They are wise beyond their years and so damn funny and sexy and supportive. I love how much they are there for each other and their feelings never waver. Yes, things happen, but they work it out. It’s the outside forces that try to take them down. I absolutely loved seeing Randy and Lily again and all the characters I have loved over the years. This is one of my top favorites of 2023 and Helena exceeded my expectations with BJ’s story!
Audio: Zachary and Andi killed it! They sounded so great together and they were the perfect BJ and Winter!

Review Tour – I Could Never, Penelope Ward
August 25, 2023 | Posted in Review | By Two Book Pushers
I Could Never is Penelope Ward’s newest romance. This is an enemies-to-lovers slow burn, but freaking hysterical and full of heart and hope. The subject matter is sad, but done so well that you feel for them while also rooting for them to make a move. They both lost someone important to them, Carly’s fiancé and Josh’s best friend and they are the only one who knows what the other is going through. But the longer they are together, the more they care about each other. I laughed out loud so much and most of the book is foreplay and I loved it! Penelope knows how to entertain us with her complex characters and heartwarming situations.
I Could Never is the newest standalone by Penelope Ward. If you follow my reviews then you know I love going in without the read the synopsis. Once I figured out it was a forbidden, enemies-to-lovers story, I was extra excited.
Carly lost the love of her life two years ago and his father just recently passed away. After getting her life in order in California she hit the road to a small-town in New Hampshire to take care of Brad’s adult brother with special needs. She felt in her heart it was where she needed to be. At least until a home was available to fit Scottie’s needs. She didn’t know what to expect but she definitely didn’t expect him to show up…
Josh. Brad’s best friend. The last person she wanted to be stuck in the house with. He was a bad influence while Brad was alive so she didn’t trust him to take care of Scottie on his own like he insisted. Apparently, they had the same idea and neither of them were leaving. They hated each other but they loved Brad and Scottie so they had to make it work. It was only going to be a few weeks, a few months, tops. But like I said, the unexpected happens…
An attraction. One neither one of them wants. They think it’s wrong. A betrayal to Brad. It’s not something they take lightly but damn does it make the book amazing. A slow burn. The flirt. The innuendos. The sexual tension is explosive. I absolutely loved it. Its heartfelt, funny, sexy, and emotional.
Ward is a New York Times, USA Today and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling
author of contemporary romance.
in Boston with five older brothers and spent most of her twenties as a
television news anchor. Penelope resides in Rhode Island with her husband, son,
and beautiful daughter with autism.
million books sold, she is a 21-time New York Times bestseller and the author
of over twenty novels. Her books have been translated into over a dozen
languages and can be found in bookstores around the world.

About On the 2
First rule of riding the subway:
Don’t talk to strangers.
Don’t even look at anyone.
But what if they’re grouchy and gorgeous and you’re sitting right next to them?
I always did like a challenge.
I want to turn that frown upside down, but he barely looks at me.
I take a chance and poke the bear, and to my shock, he plays along and growls back.
The more we meet on the train, the more I realize he’s not the uptight grump I first thought. Then one night, there he is—in my world, in my space…his tongue in my mouth.
Mind blown.
But I’m no fool. A man like Nash Roman doesn’t date a guy who sells suits at Macy’s.
Nash is prep school and Ivy League, and I’m night school while working two jobs to pay bills. Nash is fine wine, expensive restaurants and handmade suits, and I’m beer, corner takeout, and a lucky find at Goodwill.
What am I—street-smart Ethan Moreno—doing, playing in his world? This man is older than me, way richer than me, and has already made it clear he doesn’t believe in love. I should walk away. Instead, I’m falling for him. Hard.
Nash couldn’t care less if his father doesn’t think I’m good enough or if people gossip because we’re so different. I need to trust in him and us, but I’ve been burned before.
And just like the Uptown Number 2, sometimes you have to travel a different route to get to the final destination:
Forever.
On the 2 is Felice Stevens’ newest standalone m/m romance and I am here for it! Felice’s stories always make me laugh, cry, smile, get hot and bothered and give me hope. Ethan and Nash meet on the 2 train. Nash is older and grouchy and Ethan is young, talkative and happy. It’s the perfect New York story of opposites who randomly meet on the subway. Nash doesn’t want to like Ethan. He’s too young, too handsome. But he can’t stop thinking about him and waiting to see him the next morning. Ethan loves riling up the older man. He’s just being friendly, but damn if he isn’t attracted to Nash. They finally exchange names and when Fate steps in one night and they find themselves at the same bar, it is on! But then Nash is afraid what this means. He’s been so used to working and being alone and Ethan makes him feel things he’s never felt. He wants to be with him, but he’s scared. Ethan isn’t afraid to be with Nash. He wants him more than anything. They have crazy chemistry and more in common than they think. Nash doesn’t care about Ethan’s status or what anyone thinks, but Ethan does. He doesn’t want to look like he’s only with Nash for his money, because he’s just not. On top of this, Nash is still struggling with his relationship with his father who broke his heart when he was a kid but wants to make it right. When Nash realizes his life is better with Ethan, he will stop at nothing to make him his. Forever. I loved these two so much! Their sexiness, their banter, their humor. Just everything. I also love Nash’s friends, who are from previous books of Felice’s that I haven’t read, YET! This story has everything you want in a romance. Fun, sexiness, humor, friends, family, loyalty, lust and hope. Oh, and a happy ending!

New Release & Review – The London Chance, Lane Hayes
July 25, 2023 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By Two Book Pushers
Two strangers, an online dating app, and a chance at forever…
Chance
After months of online correspondence with a sexy businessman, we’re finally meeting in person—in London, no less!
Okay. It’s a casual meet-up. Nothing to get excited about. I fully understand that online connections don’t always translate in person. Roman could be pompous or worse…boring.
Wish me luck!
Roman
Dinner with my online “friend” doesn’t go well. I shouldn’t be disappointed. That’s life.
But just as I’m ready to write our peculiar acquaintanceship off, Chance turns up unexpectedly at a karaoke bar. Don’t ask what I’m doing there. I have no idea. However, I don’t mind at all. It feels like the universe is giving us a cosmic redo. Sure, Chance lives in California and my home is in the UK now, but this feels like the real thing. Something worth taking a chance on.
A forever chance.
The London Chance is an MM, bisexual romance featuring an American, a Canadian, a dating app, and an unexpected HEA.
The London Chance first appeared in the H2H Charity Anthology, vol. 6. This version includes an additional original short story.
The London Chance is Lane Hayes’ newest fun, strangers-to-lovers romance. A dating app that leads to a face-to-face meeting in London. Chance is there on business so what’s a few extra days to meet Roman, a guy he clicked with online. Only their first date is a big dud. Roman didn’t expect their date to be so boring. They were just too polite and dry. But when he sees Chance later that night, drunk and singing karaoke, it’s like the universe gave him a second chance at a first meeting. Now that they are actually being themselves, it is on! The only problem is, Chance lives in LA and Roman in London. Will they make it work for love? Oh man do I love this couple! This is a short novel, but it didn’t feel like it. It is fun and sexy and full of friendship and laughs! Loved the bonus story!
Release Blitz & Review – The Setup, Kristen Proby
July 18, 2023 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By Two Book Pushers
The Setup by Kristen Proby is now live!
From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all-new novel, The Setup, in her Single in Seattle series, featuring Keaton Williams!
I’m a sucker for pretty things. Give me a roaring engine in a souped-up vintage muscle car with cherry red paint and brand-new leather interior, and that’s about as pretty as anything I could ask for. I’m a simple man, who doesn’t need or want the kind of wild celebrity that my father has. I restore one-of-a-kind vehicles and sell them to the highest bidder. Usually, that bidder just also happens to be a celebrity.
But no matter how often my cars steal the spotlight, staying out of it is my number one priority.
Which is why Sydney Sterling is absolutely out of the question.
She’s a country music superstar. She’s in the spotlight. People can’t get enough of her.
It doesn’t matter that our one night together was hotter than a full throttle muscle car, or that she’s the most incredible woman I’ve ever met.
I. Need. To. Stay. Away.
And I was doing a great job of just that until our friends set us up on a blind date, and now here I am, sitting across from the only woman who made me want more. How am I going to handle the fact that the rest of the world wants her almost as much as I do?
And do I even have a choice in the matter?

Release Day & Review – Make Me Stay, Annabeth Albert
July 13, 2023 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By Two Book Pushers
Roommate Not Wanted
I’m a forty-year-old homeowner and former detective. My friends think a roommate is the solution to my recent funk, but I know that’s the last thing I need.
And even if they’re right, sharing my home with Cal is a bad idea. The prickly SEAL rescue diver has muscles for miles, haunted eyes, a wounded soul, and wandering feet that won’t be happy for long in Safe Harbor. Yet those fathoms-deep blue eyes have me making an offer I’ll surely regret.
Our arrangement may be doomed, but Cal is an amazing roommate. We’re soon cooking my mom’s favorite recipes, watching terrible TV, accidentally cuddling, and trying not to cross the line from friendship to fling.
Until I discover Cal’s sexy secret.
Boundaries blur, and I forget I’m not supposed to fall for Cal. Every kiss, touch, and discovery we make together pulls us deeper until there’s no denying our feelings.
I want nothing more than to keep Cal in town, in my bed, and in my heart, but Cal seems destined to swim back to his solo ways.
Can I bear to let him go, or will our love make him stay forever?
MAKE ME STAY is a hurt/comfort roommates-to-lovers MM romance. It features two mature, wounded heroes, disability rep, a proud pansexual, a SEAL having a demisexual awakening, and sexy discoveries involving rope. Deep feels, dual point-of-view, and big fluffy HEA guaranteed.

Make Me Stay is the second book in the Safe Harbor series by Annabeth Albert. I love Annabeth and her books and I’m loving this series. We already know and love Holden and I couldn’t love his story more if I tried! He’s the class clown, the friend quick with a joke. He was also injured on the job and is in a wheelchair. He’s a professor with a popular podcast and an all-around nice freaking guy! Cal, and ex SEAL is called in to help with the case. He’s an expert diver and a grumpy, broody man. Holden and Cal don’t get off on the right foot, but after a small accident, Cal needs a place to stay and Holden has an extra room. They couldn’t be more opposite, but sometime between sharing a meal and a bad reality TV dating show, they get closer. One chance encounter with some rope (hottest scene I’ve read in a long time) and they strike a deal. Cal needs a certain something in the bedroom and Holden is the perfect man to help him with his desires. Cal never thought he like being told what to do so much. He just wants out of his own head. His past is haunting him and Holden makes him forget. Holden can’t believe his luck. The sexiest man he’s ever met wants him for him. Sees past the chair and the jokes and wants just the man. Cal’s just in town temporarily, but desperately wants a home and family but doesn’t know how to ask for it. Holden wants Cal to stay, but is afraid to ask in case he says no. Will they both admit how they feel before it’s too late? I freaking loved this story! It’s funny, sexy, and sweet. Full of real emotions, friendship, pain, sadness, hope and love. I’ve really connected to Monroe, Knox, Holden and Call and I can’t wait for Sam and Worth’s story!
