I am no stranger to DJ Jamison's books and this one did not disappoint. We first met Gray in Resting Beach Face and I was excited to get his story. This time we're back in Riverton, where Gray grew up, and Gray is back to help his foster brothers save their auto shop. Riverton is next to Granville, the scene of two other series from DJ Jamison's universe. I enjoyed the little cameos and I'm excited to see more.
Gray is back and he rescues Emory from a not so great situation. He ends up helping Emory explore his sexuality. I really enjoyed the progression of their relationship. Despite Gray's bad boy appearance, he is very sweet and gentle with Emory, and he's nice and gentlemanly. I loved how they stood up for each other and leaned on each other in their time of need.
Gray was gone for 10 years, so he needed to make peace with leaving his foster brothers behind, but also had to explain why he left. Emory needed to finally start living for himself. I was happy to see them tackle these issues and come out stronger on the other side.

Gray and Emory's story was sweet, swoony and steamy! I really enjoyed every moment of it. The story felt lighthearted and I loved the banter between the foster brothers. I love these foster brothers and I'm very excited to read more about them.
