Resumen del Editor

It’s been six years since Marcus Peterson and Reuben Kelly broke up, but they’ve made it work as friends and coworkers. That is until a few too many drinks at the company Christmas party leads to a night they both regret.

Eight awkward weeks later, when their boss - Reuben’s dad - needs someone to fill in at a trade show, Marcus and Reuben find themselves in close confines. A road trip, a booth, a hotel room...and that’s before the weather goes south.

There’s no escape from each other, and there’s no ignoring the guilt, the awkwardness...and the spark that desperately wants to come back to life; because if there’s one thing that hasn’t changed after all this time, it’s how they feel about each other.

But if they can’t cut through all the barriers keeping them apart, this old flame will go out for good.

A clandestine romance that stands the test of time

The plot unfolds with foreshadow, Identifing the two personalities. Only one narrator. Listen carefully.

Almost everything written by L.A. Witt is a hit!

I really enjoy the way L. A. Witt writes her M/M (sometimes more 😘) romances. She has a way of making me feel like I am right there along for the journey in watching and feeling two people (or more) who happen to be men falling in love. I am a straight woman who has somehow gravitated towards the world of M/M romance and I have found that I personally don't like when it feels like one of the characters comes across as feminine (do the authors think this would help female readers be more comfortable?) Heck if I know....all I know is at that point I might as well read/listen to a traditional M/F romance. Which brings me back to why I love L.A. Witt's male characters. "The torches We Carry" was short but it did not feel that way. I think because it is character driven (more than anything else) and both Reuben and Marcus' personalities were so fully flushed out I felt like the 3rd wheel in the elevator with them, in the hotel room...in the car. I wanted to hit them both on the head a few times - more so Reuben - but thank goodness they finally figured out how to get their HEA. Who coulda thunk it that forced proximity and actually communicating paves the way, eh? Greg Boudreax is one of L. A. Witt's best performers for her books as well as Nick J. Russo. Almost every Witt book performed by either of these two have me in blissville.

5 stars - I would read this again.
