A sexy older man, a hot younger man, a world of differences to keep them apart, but willing hearts and a release of pride are what they need to forge the kind of future each of them yearn for. Stephen is the kind of devoted, caring, sexy, and domineering man I love reading about. Russ is enthusiastic, young, determined, and incredibly stubborn. Both of them suffer from the weight of past experiences and it bleeds into how they treat one another and think of themselves. If they hope to have a bright future they'll have to put both of those things to rest.
This wasn't as stunning a story as I had hoped. I adore this author and the stories they weave. With such a great premise and men who are flawed and yet so redeemable I has really high expectations. What worked for me was the passion these men both had for one another, the moments of genuine care and concern, and Stephen's utter devotion despite his fear and insecurities. The things that didn't sit as well with me was the incredible stubbornness from Russ and how he handled that stubbornness. Falling back into his immaturity and petulance was more bothersome than it was tolerable. He was wonderful when he finally stepped up to the plate, it just took a really long time for him to get there.
There were enough gems and quite a lot of moments that showed growth and potential so anyone beginning the Peachtree series will likely want to read all the way through. Russ has a lot of growing up to do, Stephen will have to learn to compromise, and both men will have to continue nourishing their budding love to solidify the HEA they both deserve.
