Garrett has fallen on tough times. Once a construction worker, he now depends on the desires of others to feed his little brother and keep a roof over their heads. As one of the many rent boys at Chicken Ranch, Garrett lives in constant fear, torn between making enough money to survive and getting busted for doing something illegal and immoral to pay the bills.
Miller is a workaholic with a chip on his shoulder. It isn’t until his beloved Grandma passes away that Miller dares to temporarily return home to the town he despises. Once there, he faces a surprise inheritance that causes more problems than solutions and the man he left behind to pursue his dreams.
Their reunion comes with an abundance of complications and old feelings. Bitterness and anger swiftly turn into desire and a rekindled love that threatens more than their hearts. Things take a turn for the worst when Miller provokes a threat to Garrett’s custody of his little brother. Having already lost Garrett to familial obligations once, Miller fears they’re doomed to repeat the past, only this time Garrett will be the one who’ll walk away.
Amanda Young did a nice job with this story. Garrett will do anything to take care of his little brother, even being a rent boy. He has long since given up his hope of having a relationship since his brother takes up most of his time and energy. When Miller gives him a different option he believes it is too good to be true.
I really liked both of these characters. Both are stubborn and don’t want to show any weakness by giving one way or another, which causes a bit of doubt on both of their ends. Garrett’s brother also has the stubborn gene and will do anything to make their relationship work out. It was easy to connect with these characters and see their relationship grow as it had in the past.
The cover art is nice and follows the pattern for the series.
