Maddox - The reason I rarely go home is three simple words: I'm a liar. When the pressure to marry my childhood sweetheart became too much, I told her I was gay and then fled to New York like my ass was on fire. Now, five years later and after a drunken encounter, I find myself invited to her wedding. And I have to bring my boyfriend-the boyfriend who doesn't exist because I'm straight. At least, I think I am. Meeting the guy I'm bribing to be my boyfriend for the weekend makes me question everything about myself.

Conor: It starts with a drunken text pic. The kind I would normally never send. Only, instead of it going to the flirty hotel bartender, it goes to some random stranger who actually responds. Wells: The first thing I notice about Conor Newell when he sits down in my high-rise conference room is how delightfully nervous he is. Then I see his tie. The same geeky tie that’s held hostage on my phone. The one that belongs to my anonymous late-night texter. And it changes everything.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 28
Spencer Cohen is the guy who gets answers to relationship questions. Playing the role of the new lover, his job is to make his client's ex realize one of two things: he doesn't want to break up or he really does. Either way, his client gets answers. The ex would either apologize and beg, or turn and walk. But in the end, Spencer's client won. If he wanted his ex back and got him, it was great. If the guy walked away, then as hard it was for the client, he knew it was over. Regardless of the outcome, Spencer's work was done.

After Emery Hazard loses his job as a detective in Saint Louis, he heads back to his hometown - and to the local police force there. Home, though, brings no happy memories. Hazard's new partner, John-Henry Somerset, had been one of the worst tormentors, and Hazard still wonders what Somerset's role was in the death of Jeff Langham, Hazard's first boyfriend. When a severely burned body is discovered, Hazard finds himself drawn deeper into the case than he expects. Determining the identity of the dead man proves impossible, and solving the murder grows more and more unlikely.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 69
I left my family and tiny Texas hometown 15 years ago to escape small-town gossips and to give my mom and sister the chance at a better life. But when a phone call from an attorney back home informs me that my sister passed away, leaving me custody of her newborn baby, I'm shocked out of the steady life I've built for myself running a tattoo shop in San Francisco. The thing is: I don't do babies. And I don't do small towns. Or commitment. And I especially don't do family.

But after running into an overly friendly ex-boyfriend on an impromptu trip to their shared hometown, Eric realizes things are about to get complicated.
Zane Richards is a quintessential California surfer dude turned professional sailor. His laid-back approach has helped him navigate difficult times in his life. Eric may not share his easy-going mindset but Zane knows without a doubt Eric is the one.

Loved the writing
Any additional comments?
I hadn’t read Book #1 where Eric and Zane first got together and, although this book is a continuation of this story, the fact that I hadn’t read it didn’t hinder my enjoyment of this delightful novella. The characters and their situation are set up nicely from the start and draw the listener in immediately.
Seth Clayton is the perfect narrator for this story. Told entirely from Eric’s POV his voice seems an ideal match for the character’s personality. It’s gentle and empathetic, with the right amount of emotion and emphasis. He creates an interesting range of voices for the other characters.
Eric and Zane are an established couple, opposites in character yet totally in love and preparing for their wedding in a couple of months time. Everything is sweetness and light. That is, until Zane’s ex makes an appearance and Eric is justifiably jealous when Zane spends time with him sailing and sorting out a boat for a client. There’s a nice balance between the sweet and the sizzling scenes and also a few fraught ones as they deal with Eric’s response to the interloper. Dean is doing his best to regain Zane’s affections and plays on Eric’s insecurity. I loved the writing, the angst, and the way the main characters interacted. So much so, I bought the first story in the series so I could find out how they got together in the first place.
