I fell in love with this couple right from the beginning. Xander and Asher seem so different but they don’t let that affect their love story. Even when someone tries to destroy the life they have built. This story was amazing, sweet, and I loved every bit of it. Can’t wait to read more from this author in the future

I really did enjoy this book. The relationship that grows between these two builds on love, honesty and true connection. You never know what a chance meeting can bring into your life, or how it might change you. The storyline kept me turning pages, to the point where I had finished it in one evening. This well-written romance is one you’ll need to read, so I won’t tell you more details about it. Just know that it’s a wonderful read.
I really liked this storyline and am drawn into the characters, BUT I was left with too many unanswered questions to give it a higher score. This was just how Asher and Xander met and their 1st date. I wanted much more. I want to see them dating at least. Did Xander open a bakery nearby? Did Emma and Toby get together? How did Asher’s mom take the news her boy is gay? Did Ash and Xander commit to being in a permanent relationship? HEA don’t know. I felt like this was just a tease.

I so loved Asher and Xander’s story. Their connection was immediate and their quick. They had a bump in the rode, but rode it out and came out the more stronger and better. I really enjoyed Xander’s BFF and her story and how it was woven in. Really good book.

Unconditional love, trust and faith is the best! Xander was in the Hamptons for the weekend with his best friend & room mate, Emma. They both saw a really hot man that had them both panting. They had a car accident on the return and the same man, Asher was the tow truck driver. He owns the garage to which Xander’s car is towed. Once they clear up Ash’s sexual preference, Xander asks him out. Their interest in each other is hot and intense. Slight problem, Ash is not out to his Mom. She keeps trying to set him up with an Italian girl, Felicity Moretti. Xander is hoping to open up a bakery, so the car repair expense adds complexity. The characters are lively and in depty. The story flows and Ash’s family is fun. Ash has an unexpected challenge thrown at him. The family rises up and shows unconditional support. It would be nice to read stories about his brothers’ relationship and his cousins. Well done! I received an ARC from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Xander Gatlin and his best friend, Emma, are heading home when a moose collides with them and wrecks their truck. Asher O’Grady pulls up in his tow truck to tow their wreck to the shop. Ash’s mom brings a ton of food for lunch for everyone, so Emma and Xander join them. Xander is really attracted to Ash but figures he isn’t gay, although Emma urges him to find out. Ash has a replacement vehicle to sell Xander and they go for a test-drive where Xander realizes Ash is trying to ask him out, despite his awkward stumbling. When they get back, Emma says she also has a date since Toby, Ash’s cousin and brake guy, invited her to dinner.
Xander and Ash had their dinner packed up to take to Ash’s nearby home. The two of them were perfect together. The only thing Xander worried about was that Ash hadn’t come out to his mom or anyone else besides his brothers. It would make things awkward if they wanted to have a true relationship, and it was looking as if they did. Would his mom be accepting of the man Ash was falling in love with? Would he have the family’s support when other problems arose?
This was a really good book. The interaction and dialog of the characters made them likable and personable. I also loved Emma who was a true best friend and a wonderfully feisty personality. I’m hoping we’ll get her story very soon since she deserves it! Nothing is every easy, so you can be sure Xander and Ash will have to work for what they want if they want to be together. Grab your copy and see what they decide and if they can get past the stumbling-blocks that might come their way.
Another great read by SI Hayes! She once again brings strong characters with a beautiful romance. There’s tons of emotions flowing through the pages with both humor and serious moments. Add in the steamy sex scenes and you have one entertaining romance. It’s well written,moves fluidly and is a great read.

I’m not a huge fan of Insta -love romances with low angst but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The characters were well-developed and the plot interesting. I also liked there were interesting female characters as one of the main characters. Usually, I find mm books lack female characters. And if they do have female characters, they tend to be lacking or villains.

I found this book to be a very enjoyable read with the well written storyline and well created characters that kept me totally enthralled until the turn of the very last page!
Great relationship from the very beginning. Perfect together with romance, chemistry and a tad bit of drama to keep the story flowing. The story was charming in places and intense in others. Friendships play a nice part in this book adding another piece of sweetness. Acceptance from loved ones while jealousy and animosity from others adds drama but the HEA, with a bright future ahead, brings it nicely to a close. A book easy to read and well worth the time as it leaves you feeling good.

Xander and Emma his best friend since school and he is gay. They were most of the time a lot together as they were apartment roommates. They were headed home when he slammed his Jeep into a moose and totaled it And Asher brought his wrecker to pick up the wrecked Jeep and take them to his garage. Asher and him set up a date so Emma didn’t go after him, but she got interested in a brother Toby they had a few bumps but those got cleared up and they were ok! Because Asher had turned down a girl that was wanting him even though he was gay and dating Xander she tried to get him for rape but someone saw what happened and he was not charged but freed. Asher asked Xander to marry him and he said yes. Everyone loved the wedding and his aunt became a surrogate to have a baby for them. Great book!
