    About this ebook

    Months after his husband’s death, Garrett Blaine desperately needs a fresh start. He sells his house in Seattle, leaves his accounting job, and starts bartending in Bluewater Bay. There he meets a man who wakes up his nearly forgotten libido.

    Jesse Connelly’s friend with benefits bolted after Jesse disclosed his HIV status. Stood up and stinging, Jesse tries to drown his sorrows . . . and finds an unexpected connection with a lonely bartender.

    Jesse and Garrett quickly bond over a shared love of comics and card games, and they can’t get enough of each other between the sheets. Not even a bumpy start and a fifteen-year age gap can derail them as they go from strangers to lovers, then friends, then much more.

    But as Garrett’s feelings for Jesse deepen, so does his grief for the man he lost—especially as he sees hints of his late husband in his new boyfriend. Now Garrett has to figure out if Jesse is his second chance at true love, or if Jesse’s just filling in for the man he’s never fully grieved. And he needs to figure it out soon, because Jesse’s starting to wonder the same thing.

      This had a ton of feels which I loved. Both Garrett and Jesse were great, and I enjoyed their romance as well as their navigation of the difficulties of a relationship forming (Garrett still grieving his young husband's death). I thought all concerns on both sides were valid, and I loved seeing them come out the other side as I think their HEA will be epic. I have to say I glazed over them geeking out over gaming as I've never had the experience, so it was fun seeing their excitement but just confusing knowing what was happening.
