What a ride! Tyler and Garrett were both surprised when their parents got home from a work conference in Las Vegas married to each other and ready to move in together. I think their parents need their own novel! They were about 10 when the bombshell was dropped on them and they immediately became best friends. Tyler was always the shy one growing up and apparently the supremely oblivious one. He had no idea Garrett even liked guys until he caught him in the shower with one. Then, he couldn't stop thinking about it.
Tyler didn't understand why he had trouble being intimate with his ex-girlfriend, but he's shocked by how he suddenly has no problem with it when it comes to Garrett. Garrett is way more hesitant to do anything with him since he doesn't want to be an experiment and he's wanted to be with Tyler since they met. Unfortunately, the guy Tyler found in the shower with Garrett decides to make everything just a little bit harder for them. And their secret is getting harder to keep.
🔥: Super steamy! Once the dam breaks for Tyler, he's insatiable, and all of Garrett's dreams are coming true. We get medium-paced scenes with graphic details.
😆: There's some comic relief along the way, especially from their nosy friends.
ðŸ˜: You likely won't cry from this one, but you may get angry! These two don't have it easy.
Love how everything comes together in this one! You'll absolutely be rooting for Tyler and Garrett!
CW: brief mention of post-partum depression off the page, harassment
