Pulled Long #3 by Christine D'Abo* I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*Ian has been working extremely hard to make Long Shots a success with the help of his sisters.  They are all working long hours and sacrificing a lot.  Both of his sisters now have men in their lives so he has been working longer hours.  The only bright spot was when "blue eyes" would stop by for coffee but he hasn't seen him for months.Ian doesn't have the best track record when it comes to relationships.  His last boyfriend blamed Ian of turning him gay and went back to his old girlfriend.  When Jeff (blue eyes) reveals that he is in the process of getting divorced, all he can think about is his last breakup.  He's not strong enough to go through that heartache again.Jeff is ready to move on with his life now that his divorce is final.  It was not a pretty breakup and she continues to give him grief.  He has been attracted to Ian since the first time he saw him, now if he can only convince Ian to give him a chance.I loved everything about this book.  This author is fast becoming a favorite of mine and this was my favorite book of the series so far.  Ian seems like such a loving and caring person but he is so messed up.  He has been carrying around the guilt of his father's accident, the confusion of his ex-boyfriend and all of the stress of running the coffee shop.  He has been one of my favorite characters since he was first introduced and I couldn't wait for him to find happiness."Blue Eyes" has been making appearances since the first book too, flirting with Ian.  The sexual chemistry between these two was evident from the beginning and I knew once they got together they would set the pages on fire.  Boy was I right, the scene in the coffee shop was super hot but it was also tender.  I loved how Jeff didn't give up on Ian and wouldn't let him continue to live in the past.The story was well paced and contained some surprises along the way.  The scene at the end of the party was humorous but sad too.  We were given updates on both of sister's and what's going on in their lives and we got to visit with Josh at Mavericks too.  I am looking forward to Josh's story too.Overall I loved this installment in the Long Shot series and give Pulled Long 4 Flaming Hearts.
