About this ebook
Ten years ago, best friends and soccer buddies Nick Hana and Kevin Dorsey were inseparable—until Kevin put the moves on virginal Nick on the eve of their college graduation. Not wanting to be just another notch in Kevin's bedpost, Nick turned him down and "lost" his new phone number.
A chance reunion brings the two together again, and the attraction and caring are as strong as ever. Cocky, gorgeous Kevin makes it clear he still wants Nick, but Nick needs more than he thinks Kevin can give. A slow dance and a snow storm give them a chance to clear up the misunderstandings of their past, but can one night of passion bridge ten years of silence?
This second edition has been re-edited and re-formatted.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Just the right Amount of angst for some feels
In this sweet romance. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not wanting to be a notch on someone’s bedpost, especially if that someone is your best friend, may sound like a worthwhile goal, almost noble. But somehow Nick carries the whole idea too far and has to deal with the consequences – he ends up rather lonely because he hasn’t forgotten Kevin, the object of his affections, even ten years later. And what does he do when Fate hands him an opportunity to fix his mistake? You guessed it – he messes it up again. Boy, did I want to knock some sense into him! I mean, I love a good reunion story as much as the next person, but Nick carried things a little far for my ease of mind… which made for a very emotional story though, so it’s all good.
At first I had to admire Nick for sticking with his principles, despite being extremely attracted to Kevin, he refuses to give in for “just one night”. He wants much more, and thinks he cannot get it from Kevin. Ten years later, when the man of his affections walks into the bar/restaurant Nick now owns and runs, he figures out that he isn’t as over Kevin as he thought. But he still doesn’t want a one-night stand, and he still doesn’t listen very well.
Kevin may have been a bit slutty in college, but that is a long time ago. He also gives off a ton of signs that told me what he really wanted – but Nick just didn’t see them! Or maybe he was trying to protect his heart – whatever he was thinking, the constant heartbreak when they got closer, only to almost lose touch again just about did me in. Even all my cheering from the sidelines didn’t help - until Nick finally wakes up and smells the roses, I was on the edge of my seat waiting for a sign of a happy ending for theses two guys who so clearly deeply love each other!
If you like emotional dramas with lots of tension, if you like reading about misunderstandings almost ruining lives, and if you’re looking for a read that will keep you in suspense until almost the final page, then you will probably like this free short story.
