BLURB
Losing his adoring husband shattered Tristan Rogers world. For the past few years, he’s been going through the motions, running their dog grooming business while hiding the loneliness he feels down to his bones. When he witnesses an ugly breakup between a pretentious customer and his boyfriend, Tristan can’t help but intervene. Something about the unassuming younger man calls to him, and he can’t help wondering if he’s experienced some heartache of his own.
Life took a tragic turn for Jonas “West” Hollis as a teen, and he’s felt indebted to his overbearing lover ever since. Tristan’s kindness draws him from the start, but with his dreams finally in reach, West can’t risk getting close to someone else. Not now that he can live his life and stand on his own merit.
From innocent texts to companionable rides on Tristan’s boat, what starts as an unexpected friendship between the men sparks into undeniable attraction. Neither are ready for anything deeper than a couple of passionate nights wrapped in each other’s arms but their connection becomes too intense for either to ignore. If Tristan and West want to heal their broken hearts, they’ll need a considerable amount of trust and courage—not only in themselves but also each other.
4.5 Stars
Christina Lee delivers another emotional, right to the heart story about healing and love! I loved Regret so much and was so excited that she was continuing this series, and I was definitely curious about Tristan. In this book Tristan and West have both experienced great loss in life and are just kind of getting through, but when an unexpected situation throws them together, it may just be the new start both of them need.
I really enjoyed the slow-burn build between West and Tristan. These two have been through some very rough times and both seem to realize that what they really need, at least initially, was friendship. Slowly these two break down walls together and open up to each other. My heart hurt for them both at times, their struggles and pain so very real. But I truly admired these guys too! West is determined to be his own man and have his independence and Tristan is so patient and kind and helpful too.
This is one of those books I truly enjoyed from start to finish! The characters are so well developed and their story is compelling. There isn’t over the top angst in this book, more of a journey of healing for these two men. They certainly have things to overcome and not everything along the way is perfect, but it feels real and raw. I also loved seeing characters from the first book again too, always makes my heart happy! Reawaken is definitely a must read from me, I adored these two together and the happiness they found with each other. For Tristan and West, it was an unexpected journey, but it was beautiful and touching! Another wonderful read from Christina Lee!
EXCERPT
“Take yourself out so I can see you,” West suggested with a devilish gleam, and I did a double-take, marveling at the contradiction. Gone was the moody, unsure kid, only to be replaced by the liberated, playful man filled with hope and mischievousness.
“What—right now?” I looked along the shoreline, and outside of a couple of faraway boats, we were virtually alone. Still, I shook my head. “I can’t—”
“Sure you can,” he replied with a smirk. “You look so impressive manning this boat. Distinguished, even. It would be hot to see you holding your cock while your other hand grips the wheel.”
“Goddamn, West,” I ground out as our eyes met briefly. “Haven’t you come into your own… What happened to my quiet and shy companion?”
He laughed and then shrugged. “Guess he finally went after what he needed. And who he wanted.”
When he curved his eyebrow in challenge, I shivered. My gaze panning the shoreline, I already knew I planned on doing precisely what he asked. Fuck, he knew exactly how to light me up and appeal to my whims—all of which seemed to include him in one fashion or another.
I jerked the throttle and reduced to a slower speed before my hand drifted to my shorts. I tugged them just far enough down that the head of my cock was exposed above the waistband as I gripped my shaft.
“Nice,” he murmured in appreciation as he gazed fixedly at my dick. He stood, sidled next to me, and dragged his fingers along my shoulder blades, making the hairs on my neck stand up. Thankfully there was a glass partition that extended along the sides of the steering wheel, so unless you had a direct view, you wouldn’t realize that I held my cock in my fist.
West’s fingers slid beneath the waistband and into my crease.
“So hot,” he whispered in my ear.
“Fuck,” I groaned, arching my back.
