This was a sweet short story, but felt a bit rushed and incomplete. I didn't feel like I really got a feeling of Leo's attraction to Charlie or Charlie's attraction to Leo. It was like they were just friends for years with an all of a sudden "boom" I'm in love with you and nothing to show how they got there. Despite that, I liked Charlie and his struggles to overcome his past, and I loved strong, solid Leo.

Needed a quick read and thought something from Mary Calmes would be nice.
I love the drama Mary creates, MC's are great, but all the family comings and goings kill it for me :(
When do I learn?

Sweet and sexy
This was a fun and sexy story. So much packed into it. I love the characters and wish there was more to enjoy.

Was better on this reread. I like Leo and Charlie but I still struggle with how quickly Leo changed his mind about Charlie. Charlie was in his definite friend zone, then once he lets it be known he wants more, boom it changes.
Still a quick enjoyable read

Short story which was enjoyable
A few little niggles with a couple a statements that pulled me out of the book, but I still enjoyed it

This is a short, fully packed one point of view romance that you WILL read straight through, so be prepared. Leo is a big, gruff cinnamon roll I wish I knew in real life. Charlie was hurt so badly that all Leo knew was to protect him. But there's so much more here, remarkable in such a short work - vivid and complex and so satisfying. Highly recommended.

Leo gave Charlie a chance with a job at his construction company, when Charlie was recovering from a major trauma. His faith and support has gone a long way in helping Charlie heal and move on. Leo never questions Charlie about why he looked so broken when they met, and as long as Charlie continues to be an asset to the company, he has no intentions of ever asking.
When the truth finally comes out about why Charlie needed the hand up, Leo lends even more support and acceptance, being the steady rock that Charlie has come to rely on. Now Charlie is looking at Leo a little longer, and holding him a little tighter, and trying to get across that it is not just gratitude he feels for Leo. Is Leo able to accept this new affection that Charlie is offering, or is his conviction about maintaining the friendship box he has placed Charlie in, the wall that will prevent something more from developing?
