About this listen

When Brian "Brin" Schubert's condo floods, he takes his co-worker up on the offer to stay on his crappy futon for a while. The last thing he expects is for his friend's roommate to be the one guy he despises the most. The same guy who stomped on his heart senior year of high school. And by the looks of the girl on his arm, the same man who's still deep inside the closet.

Nicholas Dell never predicted that 11 years later, one of his greatest regrets would show up on his doorstep down on his luck. Nick has made some terrible mistakes - story of his life - and he's been paying for them ever since. And if the guilt and shame aren't enough, his first crush had to turn into one of the sexiest men he's ever laid eyes on.

Nick and Brin have weeks to steer clear of each other. Weeks to avoid strangling each other. But when stubbornness leads to skyrocketing sexual tension, hate-sex doesn't seem like such an awful way to work through their frustration. Except hate is a powerful emotion, especially when it's turned inward. And in Nick's case, he's been drowning in a sea of self-loathing for so long, he can't see his way out.

As Brin reconnects with Nick, his perception of what really happened in their past begins to change. He's finally ready to forgive him and take a second chance on the one guy who stirs him like no other. But Nick's demons are complicated, heart-wrenching...demanding. So devastating, he might never allow himself true happiness - even with the one man who's always owned his heart.

Tender, moving, and hopeful - perfection!

Brin crashes at his co-worker’s place only to find his flatmate, Nick, is a guy he had a crush on in high school. Nick treated Brin badly in high school so Brin still resents him ten years later. This quiet romance really hit the spot for me, it had all the great tropes: hurt / comfort, closeted, second chances, enemies to lovers. Christina Lee always writes fully fleshed-out main characters and provides strong backstories so you know exactly why they act like they do. She also has a way of hitting the emotional notes well: Brin is torn between lust and loathing for Nick; Nick carries the weight of a personal tragedy that leaves him with panic attacks and huge amounts of guilt and regret. Although there are some heavy themes, the story doesn’t wallow in them - it is tender, moving, and hopeful. Michael Pauley knocks this out of the park - great audio narration!
