Once a construction worker, he now depends on the desires of others to feed his little brother and keep a roof over their heads. As one of the many rent boys at Chicken Ranch, Garrett lives in constant fear, torn between making enough money to survive and getting busted for doing something illegal and immoral to pay the bills.Miller is a workaholic with a chip on his shoulder. It isn't until his beloved Grandma passes away that Miller dares to temporarily return home to the town he despises. Once there, he faces a surprise inheritance that causes more problems than solutions and the man he left behind to pursue his dreams.Their reunion comes with an abundance of complications and old feelings. Bitterness and anger swiftly turn into desire and a rekindled love that threatens more than their hearts. Things take a turn for the worst when Miller provokes a threat to Garrett's custody of his little brother. Having already lost Garrett to familial obligations once, Miller fears they're doomed to repeat the past, only this time Garrett will be the one who'll walk away.Review:The second book in the Chicken Ranch series is finally here!Garrett is struggling to find a job and support not only himself, but Vaughn, his teenage brother in which he's the legal guardian of. His side job money is still hard to come by. Garrett turns to the Chicken Ranch as a source of regular income.After the death of his grandmother, Miller finds himself an heir to several rental properties. Finding someone trustworthy to run the properties not only relieves him of one issue, but delivers a whole set of problems he wasn't ready to face.I loved the chemistry between Miller and Garrett. I found myself cheering for them and having heartburn from worrying if they would actually end up together or yet again let things come between them.Vaughn was a great side character to the story. He not only brought a few laughs here and there, but he also showed a whole new side to Garrett. I loved the brotherly bond between them.I give this book, 4 Stars. My only issue with the book is the lack of the role The Chicken Ranch plays. I wish we got to see more of the characters back story from the Ranch. I think the author could have fans in the palm of her hand if she set up the back story for Grey and other characters. I want to desperately be waiting for the next man of the brothel to find his HEA. The brothel so far in the series just seems to be a meeting ground for the current characters.
