Date: 05 8, 2014
3.5/ 5 stars...John has been on the fence about his sexuality for a while now. A lack of support if he comes out has nothing to do with it, his brother Evan is gay and happily married to another man and their family is wholly supportive. It’s himself that he is hiding from. His brother and brother in law take him out to a gay club in the village to celebrate when John lands his dream job, and an enthusiastic patron makes John realize the truth about his sexuality.Brett lives his life securely behind the locked door of his closet, only being himself when he is on vacation in Brighton. But the adorably attractive new teacher is testing not only his will power, but his ability to hide the truth about his sexuality. Brett has never found a man that he wants to “sleep with. Screw them ten ways from Sunday, leave them breathless and then show them the door is his usual routine. That all changes when he takes a chance on love.I’ll start with what was off for me with this story. It wasn’t cohesive throughout, there were times when the story disconnected between the storyline and the characters. And as much as I loved the new found passion that John and Brett shared, sometimes it seemed they were having sex just because, it didn’t advance the story.What I loved was the chemistry these two had and the lengths they both went to in order to achieve their goals. John is sultry and seductive in his attempts to seduce the older man that is rejecting his affections. Brett is smoldering and ready to explode under John’s flirtations. This push and pull was what kept me interested in the story. Fans of Wells Learning to Love series will see some familiar faces in this book, as well as some wildly varying and enticing new secondary characters in John’s roommates.I’m very excited to see where Well’s takes this new series and this new cast of characters. I’m a huge fan of her Personal series and her writing style is just that, personal. I love the connection she builds between characters and readers. This is a must read for KC Wells fans as well as fans of contemporary romance.** I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review through MM Good Book Reviews **[...]
