    About this audiobook

    Tobias Jackson grew up in Coburn, a town where the gay population equaled exactly one: him. Add that to the fact that his dream guy was his best friend's jerky older brother Levi Baxter, and it made hooking up virtually impossible. Now home from college for winter break, Toby is a different person. He left Coburn for San Francisco, where he wasn't the lone gay guy and the only black kid in town. And yeah, he took advantage of what the city had to offer.

    Apparently, Toby isn't the only one who's changed. Levi's not acting like the self-centered guy with all the answers that Toby remembers from growing up. Oh, and Levi's realized that he's bisexual, which makes things a lot more interesting.

    Heading back to college, Toby doesn't expect to meet up with Levi again, despite him being in med school not far away. A surprise visit from Levi blows that assumption out of the water. As they spend more time together, Toby sees Levi as more than just the fantasy; he's complicated, unsure, and real. But if Toby can't get out of the past and find the words he keeps locked inside himself, he'll lose his chance at Levi for good.

      Toby has loved Levi most of his life. Levi doesn't know. Levi can't know because Toby is best friends with Levi's brother, and they don't get along. Toby has carried the torch for Levi even when he's gone out of state to school and 'moved on'. Or is it unrequited?

      "You said you wanted me back then. The question now is do you still? Because I'm telling, Toby, I don't know when it happened, but I want you now."

      Ms Dawn could have described beautiful vista, had the characters do interesting, fun stuff, I wouldn't have cared. I was so wrapped up in the words and expressions of Levi and the thoughts of Toby. Both characters were so scared for different reasons. Although the story is told from Toby's POV, Levi was an open book. You could feel what he felt, see what Levi saw. But Toby, just has so many issues he needs to work through, and he's scared, unsure and unwilling to give into falling completely in love to let Levi in. Although I'm known to hate over angsty - and the characters are battling with lots of different emotions - the angst doesn't get in the way of the storyline.

      I LOVED this author's previous work I read under Riley Hart. She had me engrossed in that story so I had great expectations for this novel. She did not disappoint at all. If you are new to the genre (same-sex), this is a beautiful introduction. It's still got the steamy scenes but not overly into erotica. 5 stars all the way to the Kleenex box.

      I really enjoyed this one. It is the perfect mix of fantasy hookup and real life situations. There's fun times and hardships. It's an in love with my best friends big brother tale and a figure out my life story.
