    About this audiobook

    The untimely passing of the beloved New York Times bestselling author E. Lynn Harris has left fans pining for more. With this collaboration, fans are given the book they've been clamoring to read-and the book that Harris and Essence bestselling author R. M. Johnson long wanted to write.

    Cobi Winslow, a handsome, well-educated district attorney, knows nothing about the life of his estranged twin brother, Eric Reed, a career criminal raised in the foster care system. Following their parents' death, Cobi searches for and finds his brother, hoping to regain lost years.

    Meanwhile, Cobi navigates the pressures of society as he lives life in the closet. The stress comes to a head when he learns that in order to inherit the wealth of his father's estate and save the struggling family business, he must marry a woman before he turns thirty-five. The task becomes more convoluted when Cobi's sister proposes to pay Austen Greer, a once-successful and wealthy businesswoman who lost everything in the recession, to be Cobi's wife.

    Eric discovers Cobi is gay and promises to keep it a secret. Instead, he entrusts the information to his former prison cellmate, Blac, who endears himself to Cobi in hopes of securing a $150,000 loan from him to pay back a debt racked up by cocaine sales. As the clock runs down both on Blac's efforts to pay his deadly creditor and on Cobi's attempts to save the family company, rash moves are executed, family and friendship bonds are tested, and life-altering sacrifices are made.

      As the stench of booze wafted from my dad’s lips, my stomach began to churn. ‘You know I love you, Susan,’ he slurred. The only person to call me Susan. To everyone else I was just Susie. But my dad, Robert Henderson, thought he was different. It was

      I loved listening to this audiobook. Two long lost brothers from different worlds come together in the end to protect each other. The book was filled with secrets, love, hot sex and betrayals.

      Great story...Horrible narrator. not enough emotion or proper hood dialect.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed reading this book although I thought it was unfair that the bed scenes between male and female were described in more details as compared to the bed scenes between the males. Hello? I thought this was supposed to be a book with gay plots?Anyway, there is enough drama in the book to make Desperate Housewives series looked inferior. The unfortunate part is that there is little romance, if one could feel any, in this book.Still, I think it is worth the time spent on reading it.

      Harlequin Romance with a gay twist and explicit sex. Promising storyline but clichéd characters and improbable plots. And could no one keep a secret?! Everybody revealing everything to everyone! My biggest pet peeves: Several characters with the same names - use Google if you can't come up with your own ideas! And, no ending!! The whole premise, saving the family company, went completely unanswered. That's what happens when you have co-authors - no one could agree on an ending.
