About this ebook

A business trip to get away…

A trip to Seattle to help S.R. Anderson Consulting audit Singularity Storage takes Fazil Kurt's mind off breaking up with his girlfriend, until he runs into his greatest regret: the boyfriend he ghosted on fifteen years ago.

Leads to a past love and plenty of regrets…

Todd Douglas never got over losing his best friend and first love. Seeing Fazil again lets them clear the air, reconnect, and forgive. The sparks of their youth heat into an inferno as adults, and neither man can say no to the other.

But their rekindled love threatens everything they're building.

Fazil and Todd know they shouldn't get involved on the job, especially with bigoted co-workers watching their every move. If their affair is uncovered, they could lose more than their jobs.

This ~92,000-word novel was previously published, and has been lightly edited.

    I have really enjoyed this series from the very first book. I am especially fond of series where the characters from the previous books are a part of the future books. I hate getting to love these people and then never seeing them again. This one is the story of a second chance romance. I can't imagine a company like S.R. Anderson Consulting. What a great place to work. Misunderstandings and lack of communication in high school drove Todd and Fazil apart. Now, 15 years later, they accidently meet again and find that they still love each other. Fazil spends almost too much time blaming himself for his actions and what happened in high school. One of the things I really hated was the homophobia and racism at Todds workplace, To make matters worse the management treated it with unfair and inadequate discipline. Eli, who is Jewish, and Fazil were the subject of racist remarks and a Quran was burned and left for Fazil. What shocked me most, however, was the corporate leaders attitudes that Todd had to face when the ugliness was trumped by unspoken homophobia. This is book three in the series and it can easily be read as a standalone without too much taking away from the first two books. I've loved meeting all these men but Eli and Justin remain my favorite couple.

    I'm struggling with the rating for this one. I enjoyed the book, but there were a few niggles. The reason I'm struggling is that I'm not sure it's fair to rate a book based on my feelings about one of the mcs, lol. After all, it takes an enormous skill to write a character that I can despise with a passion. So, I feel I'm doing the author a disservice by rating low, as that could seem to reflect on their skill. Yet, the story telling is great. The characters multi-dimensional and real. So real in fact that I truly just wanted to grab Todd throughout the book, shake him soundly and then give him a piece of my mind about how NOT to treat the man you claim to love...

    So yeah, I've decided on a mid range rating, but don't let that put you off. It truly is a great book and part of a fantastic series.
