When his partner of four years leaves Cary Whitmore unexpectedly, Cary has to grow up fast to raise the little boy they were expecting together. Gus Whitmore is the light of Cary's life and you can tell that in everything he does.Enter Heath Cummings. He works on an offshore oil rig and volunteers at the dog shelter that Cary's neighbor and friend owns. He's the eternal bachelor. He doesn't want a relationship or kids. He's got a different girl on his arm every time Cary sees him, but Cary can't help but look. Heath is hot and he looks at Cary like he wants to eat him, but Cary knows he couldn't get involved with Heath because he's not about to become the next notch on Heath's headboard.Except sometimes things don't happen the way you want them to, but 'sometimes things work out the way they are supposed to.' Heath and Cary can't keep their hands off of each other and Gus worms his way into Heath's heart too. Watching their relationship unfold with all of its bumps and curves is amazing and heartbreaking. Cary is incredibly insecure about Heath's exes (the were mostly one night stands of sorts since he doesn't really do relationships but he was married at one point) and about the fact that he is bisexual.It's a valid concern for Cary, but I'm really glad that Kade made it Cary's issue and didn't make Heath a cheater, because I'm sick to death of the stereotypical bisexual who can't keep it in his pants, regardless of the sexual partner's gender.This book hit me in a place I wasn't expecting and broke me hard, but the ending. *sobs*Another easy 5 star for me from Kade. Everyone should give it a try.
