Publisher's Summary
When he arrives back in LA after 10 years away, the last thing Sam expects is to end up being roped into pretending to be with the man he'd left behind for the sake of a magazine article. After a near-death experience that left him scarred and changed, all he wants to do is lick his wounds and live quietly for a while.
But how is he supposed to resist the pull of one last adventure with the love of his life? Seeing Sam again is the last thing Ben needs. With his last chance to prove that Ballsy is a viable project on the line, he hasn't got time for anything else.
All the same, he can't bring himself to ignore Sam when he shows up unannounced. When the opportunity to spend the weekend undercover with him at a couples' retreat comes up, he jumps at it, hoping that this will be the second chance he's always secretly wanted.
As if facing their feelings for each other after so long wasn't hard enough, Ben unexpectedly stumbles across the story that will save Ballsy while at the retreat. Will he still have time to repair his relationship with Sam? Or will both men's doubts and fears get in the way of their happily ever after?
Contains mature themes.

No slow burn. Just how I like it.
I really liked that this story moved along at a quick pace. It was a great story about two people who have loved each other for a very long time and the story picks up when they reunite after years apart. Well narrated and written. Great steamy bits.

Liked the characters but not the wheel-spinning …
Cocky’s editor, Ben, is struggling with his pet project, a new magazine called Ballsy. Ben regrets not being brave enough to own his bisexuality and allowing his best gay friend, Sam, to walk away. Now Sam is back and Ben needs him to be his fake partner so he can go undercover to write a story about a couples’ retreat. Just as the romantic surroundings of the retreat start to work their magic on them, Ben discovers he’ll be writing an exposé. While I loved the premise of the exposé, the storyline felt a bit clumsy and everyone’s actions a bit unbelievable. Like the first book, I quite liked the characters but found the continual manufactured worrying a little grating, especially when things always eventually resolved with little fuss. I also liked the second-chances trope but felt the guys could have saved themselves a LOT of angst by just saying what was on their minds upfront. Joel Leslie narrates the audiobook competently (currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue).
