I didn't think I would enjoy this book as much I did the first book in this series but I did. The chemistry between Ryan and Carter was believable. I love the Greene family. They are the loud but caring family. I like how Ryan was adopted into Carter's family without any hesitation. I wish there was a novella on Kevin and his boyfriend because Kevin needs his own story. I can't wait to read book 3.

Carter and Ryan have a great story. The beginning was a little slow for me, but once these two put their differences aside it moved really quickly.
I really felt for Ryan. He's never really had any family around beside his Grandpa and his best friend. I got teary-eyed a couple of times when Carter's family interacted with him. I really do love Carter's family. They are so loving and welcoming.

Carter & Ryan are definitely swoon-worthy! A sexy rocker and a hot fireman, what more can you want?
This story is so sweet! You can feel the love and chemistry they have for one another. One of my favorite things is that their conflict lies not in miscommunication (which happens a lot and it drives me crazy) but in their personal demons when things happen.

I’m loving this series. This book is a mm contemporary romance between a musician and a fireman. Great to have updates on the whole Greene family too. Off to read book 3

4.5 stars *****
Plot?
Yeah. Just my kinda plot.
We really get to know the main characters but also several minor ones. I loved that we really get to know Carter's family, love the whole twin connection thing and that there is so much warmth in their relationships.
There was a bit of drama involved but not too much of it.
And we get to see Carter on stage - scenes I always love to read about.
I think there were too many intimate scenes and I got kinda bored. On the other hand, I must admit that all of them were pretty creative so it wasn't necessarily always the same. Still...
Writing style?
Pretty awesome.
Characters?
Well, I loved both of the MCs.
They are really adorable, noone really has any striking bad character traits.
I love that they always think about each other and also don't take each other for granted. Plus, they don't just decide on their own but really converse with each other and ask of the partner's opinion.
All in all, don't really have a lot to say against this novel :D
I guess, there was just a teeny tiny bit missing for me to give it 5 stars.

Absolutely fantastic storyline
I am so happy to have discovered Annabella Michaels! What a great storyteller she is. One of the things I really look for in my romance books is an author who weaves a great tale, does a great job with the protagonists' character development and has a realistic and detailed story arc with interesting secondary characters. Some hot sex scenes are always nice but really it is a great story with characters that I want to know and care about that has me going back and buying more books. This series from Michaels has all of that and more.
Carter and Ryan are sweet and likeable and I wish they could be my neighbors!! I was tense for half the book waiting for the precipitating event that you could just sense was coming. It was pretty clear what was going to happen the anticipation came from wondering how. Michaels did a great job building that tension without being too obvious or manipulative.
I love his family and am very excited to move on to book three and Landon and Micah's story.

Good story but again minor grammatical errors distract
As with book one in this series the bones of a great story is here but it suffers from poor grammar mistakes. Commas are thrown at sentences willy nilly and the verbiage use is again at times confused.
But, having said that, there's a good basic story here, I like this richly detailed family and the people in their lives and I like the relationships she builds between her main characters.
Superb cover once more and the same quality sex scenes, but this time with more of a kink, help to cover up the small flaws.

In a moment of pure fear, Carter meets the man who will complete his soul. However, true love never runs smooth, and dealing with an aftermath of a near-death experience pushes Carter to lash out in anger towards the one person who doesn’t deserve his ire. Ryan is disappointed that the man he can’t stop thinking about turns out to be not as wonderful as he remembered. Overcoming this miscommunication is the first step towards a beautiful relationship.
Michael Pauley once again does a spectacular job with the audiobook narration. His performance brings the characters to life and was extremely enjoyable to hear.
Overall Rating: 5 Stars. The writing was smooth, lovely, and very enjoyable to read. The characters were sweet and likable. I loved the pacing of the plot from the action to the drama to the romance. I loved this book.
