OMG, did I love this book! I had previously read other books by this author, but I didn't enjoy them as much as this one. None of them were as amazing as this book was.
Gray and Emory were both great characters. I loved them from the beginning, they had had such different lives but they were so similar in many things, and they just clicked like puzzle pieces.
Gray had to leave his foster family when his foster dad found out he was gay. They lived in a small town and the man, well, it seemed he was a bit narrow minded. Gray returns to his home to help his brothers with the family business.
Then there is Emory, who works in his family's business (see the resemblance already?) but it's not what he'd like to do the rest of his life. Also, he's been hiding his sexuality for almost all his life because he didn't want to disappoint his father.
Like I said, they had so much in common. They both felt some sort of guilt over situations that happened in their past and they both thought they were not good enough for their families. Gray broke my heart every time he tried to make amends with his brothers, he was such a good guy that had been forced to live away from the people he loved the most. And Emory had spent his life trying to be his brother, who had passed away when they were kids.
Their relationship was beautiful and their love helped them become their best selves. The support and caring they showed for each other was very romantic, sweet and heartwarming. I was sighing through most of the book, it was a real and true love story if I've ever seen one.
I can't wait to read the story of Gray's brothers. They all are so special that I know for sure they'll steal my heart just like Gray and Emory did.

Deeper subjects but still treated with the lightness I adore from DJ Jamison.
Not me here.. patiently waiting for Holden's story...

I really enjoyed the brothers and now different they are - I think it’s going to make for an excellent series.
I did find some of the internal angst repetitive: Gray’s guilt for leaving and Em’s people pleasing.
Really enjoyed this overall though. Cant wait for Holden’s story
