Ohhhhh here’s the drama

The first book was pretty drama free, just small things. This one is where the drama really showed. The performance was well done, the chapter pauses were not quite as abrupt or maybe I was used to them. As that was my only issue with the last one, I give the narrator two thumbs up!
This story really flushed out the characters and added a lot of ‘real life’ to it. It showed how things really started to go for them, how they dealt with those around them, how they worked together and how they needed to grow as a couple. If you enjoyed the first one, pick this one up too!

An amazing addition to the series

David and Aaron are back, about a month after the snowstorm that brought them a weekend together.

This story is more about Aaron's ex-boyfriend and dealing with his PTSD. It also brings us back to the demise of David's marriage and the next steps he needs to take to move on.

It was a whirlwind of emotion, but like the first story, their communication skills led them in the right direction and gave them both the support they needed to weather their own personal storms.

I loved the writing, the story, and the witty dialogue between the characters.

Another book in the series that I'd definitely recommend.

A Touching & Arousing Adventure

This second chapter of David and Aaron's story is filled with touching romantic gestures, steamy passionate experiences, and heartfelt struggles as they navigate their way through a new chapter in both of their lives. It's enduring to remember what it's like when a new love takes hold, and this story will sweep you off your feet and into their complicated yet fulfilling lives. Their incredible romantic encounters will leave you begging for one more word, one more description, and one more time before the story comes to an end. The author continues to amazing me with his gift of descriptive story-telling and painting a picture I sometimes long to be a part of. I highly recommend this book and I wait with anticipation for the conclusion of David and Aaron's journey.

I am in love with you and you are it for me

Ooooo boy, I just can’t get enough the magic combo of F.E. Feeley Jr. and Vance Bastian. 🥰 And I loved this book just as much as I loved the first book. 💜 What a fabulous listen. 👏😉


The tone of this book is definitely different from the first book. In the first one, David and Aaron were in the honeymoon period. 😁 They were snowed in, they just got to know each other and they were in their own little happy bubble, contented and loved. They were not digging into each other pasts and hence no ugly, difficult issues from past to deal. Now, our boys are in a committed relationship and they have already used “b” word with each other. Boyfriends! 😍 But the ghosts of the past are definitely catching up. David has to deal with his ex-wife Laura who’s bitter about David finally finding love in a much younger person who happens to be a man. And Aaron has to go back to Boston and deal with his drug addict ex-boyfriend to finally and truly move on and be with David. They both knew that these are the obstacles they have to go through before they can get their happily ever after. But the question is will they make it or not until all these issues are solved.

This book is definitely a bit heavier and angstier than the first book. I thought Roger, Aaron’s ex, was kind of a douchebag but who knew he had such a terrible, painful past. 😪 The things people do to escape the ghosts of the past is heartbreaking and sad. 😭 And David was such a dream boyfriend, loving, supportive, understanding and just so caring. I think it’s really lovely too it because in the first book, Aaron was the one who helped David came out of his shell and be in terms with his bisexuals. But now, Davis is Aaron’s rock to deal with the difficult, painful past from Boston. It’s nice to see these men are the each other’s solace and sanctuary. 😍 And despite the fact this book being a bit heavier than the first one, David and Aaron are still undeniably and scorchingly sexy. 🔥 Ooooo boy, the sex in this book was on fire!!! Just so erotic and smoking! 🔥 I said it then but I’m going to say it again, I’ll never get tired of Vance Bastian saying “baby” in that husky voice. 😍😉 I can’t wait to get the next book in the series because these men deserve the best HEA ever with unicorns, rainbows and sugar clouds! 😁😘

Good

David and Aaron’s story continues In a lighter shade of blue. As much as they have fallen for each other, not everyone is as happy about there relationship. Both men’s past play a huge role in the story. I really enjoyed the sequel. It’s as 🔥 as the first. This is a new author for me, I will definitely be checking out more books by him. I recommend this series
