Toby Tobias (Wig) and Justin Tyler (Nibs) have been an established couple for nearly a decade. They run the Blue Lagoon restaurant and they have each other, and that has been enough, until now. An overzealous neighbor slash businessman is trying to pressure them into selling the restaurant property, and he isn’t above some dirty underhanded tactics to get what he wants.After hosting Sam and Liam’s wedding reception, Wig and Nibs return home to find the restaurant has been vandalized. They start to wonder if it’s really worth it anymore. The time and effort to keep their business afloat, and the strain of it taking all their time away from each other. The Owens clan bans together to help Wig and Nibs clean up and keep the restaurant going. But the long time lovers are beginning to grow wary of it all, and they might just be ready to throw in the towel.In the middle of all this, someone very close to Wig, Nibs and the Owens falls ill. Nibs is hiding the fact that he has been diagnosed with diabetes, and Paul is starting to break under the pressure of loving a man who is still in the closet. Wig and Nibs have to decide if they even want to stay and fight for the restaurant that they’ve poured their heart and soul into these past ten years. Or cut and run. The only thing they are certain of is that no matter what they decide to do, they will do it together.There was a lot going on in this book, so much so, that the story seemed weighted down. I also didn’t feel as strong a connection to these two characters as I did with Sam and Liam, Paul and Olaf. That being said, I quite liked the way everyone banned together when their friends were in need. Whether it was Wig and Nibs and the trouble at the restaurant. Paul and Olaf and the issues with being oceans apart and Pauls upset with Olaf refusing to come out of the closet. And my favorites, dear Liam and Sam. Liam is still recuperating from the accident that almost killed him and Sam is being a mother hen.So while a few things were off within the storyline, a lot of things were on. There was some drama and a bit of angst, tears both happy and sad, and some hot bear loving his cub man sex on the couch! This is still a must read series in my opinion.** I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review through MM Good Book Reviews **[...]
