Julian and Parker have been best friends for 20 years and for a lot of that time Julian has had an unrequited crush on Parker. With Parker soon to be married Julian decides it’s time to let that crush go no matter how difficult that proves to be.

Circumstances result in an unmarried Parker and a still crushing Julian having to spend time together in Julian’s cabin in Aster Valley. So begins a journey of self discovery between these two wonderful characters as they navigate the complexities of their relationship changing from the best of friends to lovers. When that happens the heat between them certainly sparks some steamy moments and some beautifully tender intimate moments.

This is a very enjoyable and engaging read that includes some well meaning meddling friends, banter that made me chuckle at times and a HEA that left me feeling very happy.
