Summary

When he arrives back in LA after 10 years away, the last thing Sam expects is to end up being roped into pretending to be with the man he'd left behind for the sake of a magazine article. After a near-death experience that left him scarred and changed, all he wants to do is lick his wounds and live quietly for a while.

But how is he supposed to resist the pull of one last adventure with the love of his life? Seeing Sam again is the last thing Ben needs. With his last chance to prove that Ballsy is a viable project on the line, he hasn't got time for anything else.

All the same, he can't bring himself to ignore Sam when he shows up unannounced. When the opportunity to spend the weekend undercover with him at a couples' retreat comes up, he jumps at it, hoping that this will be the second chance he's always secretly wanted.

As if facing their feelings for each other after so long wasn't hard enough, Ben unexpectedly stumbles across the story that will save Ballsy while at the retreat. Will he still have time to repair his relationship with Sam? Or will both men's doubts and fears get in the way of their happily ever after?

Contains mature themes.

Good book

I enjoyed the book , though there was a lot of internal dialogue. It is possible that I noticed the amount of internal dialogue because it was during a time that I didn't have the patience for that amount. The storyline was good, however. Narration was good as well.

Great story

I found this delightful story when working my way through Joel Leslie’s catalog because he’s a superb narrator and I’m glad I did because this was a lovely love story

Disappointing

I usually like narrating by Joel Leslie but sadly, this wasn't one of his best performances. Possibly this was due to the story being boring with a weak storyline with the constant repetitiveness of one of the characters insecurity. I managed to finish as ut was only a short book which I cannot recommend. This is my own personal feeling and I do hope others will enjoy

Sweet second chance romance

No big unnecessary drama, just missed chances and 10 years later coming together. Simple, heart felt and sweet.
