When Sean Loves Rusty by Chris Cox

4.0

4.5 stars!!
This is the story of lifelong friends Sean and Rusty. It spans over a few years from college Graduation, to first jobs, to moving away and coming home. We get their back story of how they met and fell in love. It's extremely well written and it's romantic and very realistic. Sean and Rusty are both out but Sean is still hiding from himself. Rusty is loud and outgoing and has a family that loves him for who he is. They make sacrifices for each other and they are truly in love and want to spend their lives together. There's a is also a peak at the next book which stars a character we met briefly but I was very drawn to.

When Sean was having a good time, just a little bit drunk, when he forgot to censor himself, Sean wiggled when he walked and he moved his head or gestured a certain way. Relaxed, not thinking, his body would go liquid instead of that stiffness he tried for most of his waking hours.

He just floated, f**k-dumb and hazy, not thinking. Just feeling the moment.

Reality burned through his c**-induced mind fog.

Rusty's big warm hand rubbing on Sean's bare shoulder made him purr. "Like a cat," he said out loud. Rusty leaned in and laughed. "No p**sy in my bed." Sean licked up Rusty's throat, loving the bristle of Rusty's beard on his tongue. "Only me."
"Only you."
