Workaholic Nate Erickson is a successful real estate developer who thrives on long hours and stress. When a Los Angeles project prompts him to relocate to Santa Monica, he welcomes the change of scenery. Nate has always considered romantic entanglements trouble, but his sexy next-door neighbor isn’t easy to ignore. Which makes no sense, because Nate is straight… or so he’s always thought.
Alex Reyes is a retired professional soccer player turned West Hollywood business owner with an insatiable lust for life. He loves his family, friends, and work. But there’s one life challenge left to accomplish: coming out publicly. Respect for traditional Latino values has kept him in the closet, but Alex begins to think he and his new neighbor might help one another combat their fears. As Alex and Nate forge a strong friendship, they soon realize facing their personal demons will take more courage than either man bargained for. The reward is immeasurable… if the timing is right.
5 Stars!!!
The chemistry and sexual tension was off the charts. These guys were hot, hot, hot together. I loved that we get to revisit with Jake, Bran and even Mack.
The story was well written and flowed well. It held me captive and turning the pages.
Another awesome story by Lane Hayes, and I look forward to much more in the future! This is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone. I highly recommend it!
