Like most people, Nicky Everson just wants to be loved and to love someone back. It seems like such a simple thing, but it hasn’t been for Nicky. He picked the wrong person in his last relationship, a bully who used and abused him. And when that relationship turned really sour, when his boyfriend beat him up and he left their home, he had nowhere to go. His older brother loved him but always believed Nicky made bad choices. He was tired of hearing “I told you so.”

Troy Summers is Nicky’s brother’s partner as a cop. He, too, has been struggling with finding that special someone to love and share a life with. He met Nicky once and felt an immediate attraction, but getting involved with Nicky would be complicated. He didn’t think it could happen. And then one night he receives a call from Nicky, a plea for help.

I was drawn into the story by two people searching for love, such a complicated thing. Both men wanted the kind of relationship where you didn’t judge the other person for their likes or the things they did. Troy was a good, strong cop, what some might see as a man’s man, but there was so much more to him than that. He accepted Nicky and all of Nicky’s interests that others belittled him for. He desired Nicky and would fight to protect him. In contrast, Nicky was physically nowhere near as big and strong as Troy, and had been often wrongly accused of being “girlie.” He might be smaller, yes, but he loved with all of his heart and prided himself in taking care of those he loved. His strength came out when he was put to a test, when he defended the man he loved. I enjoyed all of the characters and the storyline. The author did a wonderful job of showing the struggles of a finding that special someone and of finding a way to make the relationship work.
