I love Ed's books for the journey he takes you on and the love he clearly puts into his stories. He writes fairy tales in contemporary times. Not the type that someones needs saving but the journey to finding that special someone who just lights up your life. His stories always take me away and this book was no different and a return to Hidden Creek and all of it's cast of characters both old and new was so much fun!

A great compliment to the overall series I enjoyed watching Caspian and Matt find their way with both very different and unique paths. Ed always gives you characters with layers that as the story unfolds the men peel back and find the type of love that makes you all melty.

Fun and flirty but with a solid and believable story, I have just loved visiting yet another amazing couple by Ed in the fun town of Hidden Creek!

While I enjoyed the relationship part of the story, the rest was - to be blunt- incredibly dull. If these books really can be read as a stand alone, then the supporting characters need to have less of an impact on the plot - because I did not understand or care for their story.

This was cute, i loved the way the couple met, but I think the writing could have been a bit better. Still, it's a yummy fun story and full of finding yourself and your confidence which was always a nice lighthearted read.

Matt and Caspian both have some self esteem issues, and don't think anyone is going to like them for who they are. They are both relatively shy, or at least Cas is until he gets to know someone. I loved watching him come out of his shell. The guys meet each other at the gym Matt owns when Cas goes there thinking he should work out to get better looking for guys to notice him. Meanwhile, the guys end up "meeting" without knowing who the other is over an app. They start texting and anonymously share a lot about themselves. When they finally realize who they are, it is a great start of a relationship because they started building a friendship first. I loved their texts to each other. Too cute.

There was some drama surrounding homophobia, but I loved how it was handled and how the community rallied around the gym. I also loved how nonbinary and trans were discussed positively in the story. There honestly was lots to love in the book, and I adored it. (And seriously-no pun intended. I didn't realize I wrote this until I did my read through before submitting, but it was too cute to remove...lol). I was glad to revisit Cora, Gabe, and Ryan, and also to see briefly a bunch of other guys from the other books.
