An island escape from everyday life is what Jarrod and Devin both need,away from the stress and chaos looking for peace and quiet nether expects what lies ahead. Jarrod is trying to escape his NHL season ending in what he thinks is failure and hiding away on a tropical island sounds ideal, but what he wasn’t expecting was seeing Devin again and the things that seeing him stirs inside. Devin is needing a getaway from the industry he is in and it seems he is reevaluating a lot in his life and when his high school crush shows up on the same island as him he is shocked, excited, nervous,a nod so much more. The friendship they build while on the island creates a bond that is a great foundation to what lies ahead. The chemistry is insanely intense and their bond will have you laughing one second to swooning the next. The things they have to overcome and bumps in the road is not easy, but the way they are there for each other warms your heart. My heart hurt for the fear they had about what others would say, especially media when it shouldn’t matter to no one but them and when Jarrod finally claimed his guy so publicly I knew I loved these two so much.
