Publisher's Summary

"What if you didn't have to stop kissing him, Memphis? What if you didn't have to choose me over him?" (Brennan)

Memphis

At 34 years old, ex-DEA agent Memphis Wheland has lived, loved, and lost...everything. The ultimate betrayal by the man he gave everything to has left Memphis with no family, no career, and a bone-deep bitterness that refuses to release him from its icy grip. His work with an underground vigilante organization is the only light in his otherwise bleak existence. That and the occasional no-strings hookup with men whose only focus in that moment, and for as long as Memphis wants them, is him and only him. No clingy exes, no unrequited love, no relationship drama. Period.

Brennan

With his entire life ahead of him, graduate student Brennan Devereaux wasn't expecting it to change in the blink of an eye. But when a case of mistaken identity nearly costs Brennan his life, it isn't just his future that's about to change, but his past too. Because for years he's been in love with a young man who only sees him as a friend and nothing more. And while he was content to love Tristan Barretti from afar, he hadn't expected to be drawn to the mysterious stranger who saved his life and changed it with a simple promise.

I'm not letting you go.

Tristan

At 19, Tristan Barretti should have had the world at his feet. His musical gifts have garnered him prestige as well as admission to the famed Julliard School in New York and he has a family that most people would kill for. But the protective bubble his fathers have kept him in has burst and he's discovered that life outside his unconditionally loving family isn't as accepting of a kid born with HIV. A poor decision to find answers to questions better left unasked, along with the complications of living with his disease, have Tristan returning to Seattle and the solace of his family.

Choices

Even though a physical relationship with Brennan was supposed to be just that, Memphis finds himself unable to refuse his young lover's request to help put a stop to the threat against Tristan. Even knowing full well that Brennan's heart lies with the man he claims is nothing more than a friend, Memphis accepts the challenge of ensuring Tristan's safety.

But when the quiet music student stops being a "job" and starts being something much more, Memphis is torn between his growing feelings for both young men and the fear that he'll be facing an even greater betrayal that he'll never be able to come back from.

Except none of that matters when the threat that Memphis never saw coming puts Brennan and Tristan in the crosshairs....

Trigger Warning: Sexual assault against an MC

Can be read as a stand-alone story - no cliffhangers.

One of my best of this series!

#angst #suspense #hotaf #mmm #troubledmen 

This book has everything and takes u on a very emotionally intense ride filled with angst and suspense. You can feel their pain, their passion and the intensity of the moment in every word written. Sloane Kennedy has a gift for writing pure gold and this is one of them. Her villains are so depraved that u can’t wait for them to get what they deserve and that was definitely the case here. 

Trigger warning: rape/murder
Minor triggers: effects of hiv which was handled very respectfully but if you don’t want to hear of this topic don’t read. 

These 3 men were perfect for each other. I don’t typically like threesomes. U know the saying “someone usually gets under served in a 3 way”. That is not the case here. These 3 men are each messed up in their own way (Tristan has always had trouble making friends with his hiv and Memphis has been hurt by an ex fiancé and has lost his entire family in his past so he doesn’t trust or get close to anyone). It takes the love of all 3 to complete them and heal their hearts and nobody gets left out during their many sexy times. 😉😛

This is definitely one of my favs in this series. 5+ stars 🔥🔥🔥

Michael does a great job. U can hear on his voice the passion and need and then later the suspense when things take a unexpected turn. He's a great actor.
