How long did it take you to find your place in the world? For Ethan Walker, going through the motions of life, keeping his distance, and never getting attached has become the mantra he lives by. Success is measured by how many hours he can work and how little attention he can draw. That was until he landed on Beau Bennett’s radar. Until Beau, Ethan had never met a man who could get him to … him to question his own logic and even consider taking a different path.
Beau Bennett knows exactly who he is–now. It might’ve taken him some time to figure it out, but now that he has his bearings, Beau has set his sights on the mysteriously sexy Ethan Walker. Pursuing someone has never been his style, but something is telling him to keep at it because the end result is going to be worth it.
Now that they’ve found one another, how long will it take Ethan and Beau to accept that their place in the world is…Together?more
I loved this book! Nicole brings all of the characters to life and you really feel like you know them! If you haven’t read any of her books, you should!
I loved it, it made me happy, sad, i cried and i am not a person who sheds tears Ethan is stronger than he knows and Beau is just who he needed even when he didn’t want to admit it I have read lots of books and they are in the top 5 of my favorite couples, anyone who needs happiness, sadness, and unconditional love and a family that has your back all the time and parents who are phenomenal, this book is for you.
While you will love every book Nicole writes Ethan and Beau are my favorites. It is beautifully and heart fully written. Ethan was the most emotional one for. You must read the series in order but boom when Ethan is up!
A great book with great characters. Emotional rollercoaster but worth it.
This book had it all I laughed and I cried. I love how Ethan and Beau came together. Beau may have been the one to start things with a steely determination and Ethan was unable to deny how deeply and profoundly he was affected by the unwavering sexy man in hot pursuit. Ethan held on to his stance to form no attachments even with Beau, and Beau is not willing to simply be another meaningless encounter to Ethan. As both men fall in deeper with one another, they both must learn how to navigate the new and murky waters of what it would mean to be together. They learn together. They teach one another. And, ultimately, they are there for one another as they learn to let go of the past, heal and move into a new beginning. I loved how Ethan’s family accepted him and loved him even when he thought that they didn’t know and how they accepted Beau. Nicole has always given us great stories but I think this one takes the cake for me. The love between the two characters grows over a period of time and both of them are finding something in the other that they are missing in their own life. It’s beautiful. Having their own demons in their past they complete each other and truly help each other move on from their pasts and help heal each other. I cannot say enough about how much this book made me swoon and excited me. Oh it was just utterly heartfelt and emotional and beautiful and touching and life changing.
This above all: to thine own self be true
Such an emotional and relevant story…
The topics broached in this book are so relevant in our current political climate. The characters are beautifully developed and the backstory adds perfectly to the outcome.
Side note: This book may contain triggers for some. Suicide, depression, and bullying are addressed. Read with caution.
(3.5-4 stars)
It’s no secret that I love the AI/CD series. I enjoyed Ethan’s story and getting to the bottom of why he is so closed off from others and his family.
It just wasn’t my favorite. Even with that being so, there’s still so much I want for Ethan and Beau and I hope we get to see that in Beau’s book.
This book was filled with so many hard subjects, about how it is to be gay and all the hate that can come with it.
My heart was bleeding for Ethan and all he has gone through. His life is filled with pain, fear and loneliness but luck will have it that Beau has decided Ethan is the man for him!
Beau is a sweet guy who has a huge heart and so much patience I am in awe over him
I think the book was a little too long compared to how much that happens in the book it got a little boring sometimes but it was quick to pick up again so I never lost all interest in the story.
This is a sweet slow burn M/M love story with some hot alpha men and some really hot sex in it
well I should really say, I never really thought I would like reading a book like this but I enjoyed it. the story was really heartfelt and you can relate to some things the author was trying to tell and that worked. The message should be clear to everyone on this planet! : Always stay true to yourself no matter how others trying to bring you down. and trying to make you feel less. You should always love who ever you want, no matter if you are straight, gay or lesbian! but nothing that is really worth it will come easily, so fight for what you want!
I love this series 🙂
5 Stars from Sammy’s Book Obsession!
I chose to buy and read this book because I am absolutely in love with Nicole Edwards’ Alluring Indulgence series!! This was my very first strictly M/M book!
This was a beautiful love story that was H.O.T! The author does a wonderful job of reeling you in and keeping you hooked from cover to cover! I was slightly leery about breaking into the M/M genre, because I’ve never read it before and have never really been interested in it either. This book blew every negative thought and trepidation out of the water entirely! My hesitation to read M/M was short-lived anyway, because there was no possible way I could skip a single piece of the Walker family’s story! It was very well written, as all of this author’s work is. Loved it!
