Stuntman and two-time cancer survivor Memphis Haines excels at beating the odds. When he's presented with the opportunity to help his ex-boyfriend with a charity event, he jumps at the chance to make up for the devastating way he left Tyler 10 years ago. Memphis might have taken the college geek's virginity, but the former mathlete is now a hell of a head turner.

Tyler Hall sticks to one simple mandate: no more dating ex-boyfriends. Ever. He certainly isn't interested in hooking up with Memphis Haines. Ten years ago, falling for Memphis changed Tyler's life. The man's abrupt departure turned his world inside out. But he moved on long ago. Besides, he has a clinic for the homeless to run. Memphis, however, seems determined to rehash the past. And his hard body and confident charm are resurrecting ultra-hot memories best not remembered, making Tyler's rule harder and harder to keep.

Contains mature themes.

If a book stirs up emotions in me, then I know the writer has mad skills, is talented big time. I loved this book. I started listening yesterday and finished this evening. Could not stop listening to the beautiful narration of Marc Bachmann; the work he did on the voices was simply great. Next in the series, Noah’s love story, with the Texan surgeon, will be a treat. River Jaymes worked out the characters in detail and added extra characters who fitted in the story without being overbearing. After having read book 1, I did not expect to read about Tyler next, nor did I expect this much emotional dept in the story. I am a satisfied customer. Thank you River Jaymes and please keep them coming. I’m a fan. ❤️

Excellent writing makes for a beautiful MM romance novel!

I listened to the first of river jaymes' books a while ago and thought it to be above average, but this second installment is even better. Loved the two male MC and the dynamic of the entire group of men comprising Ty's friends. I will absolutely be bying Noahs story when it comes out too. I listened to many many m/m stories and am by now a little picky since some of Them Seem to blend together in a non-descipt mass of "same same" but i Think this author might be able to write stories that stands out and stay in the "i remember that story" catagory.

Any additional comments?

I was already in love with this story because I owned the book version. I like to buy the audible version because it brings the story to life for me. I was so let down when I listened to this. I don't think Marc Bachmann should be reading romance. He read this story like he was reading classic literature. At one point I thought he had a slight British accent because of all the drama in a simple sentence. I was so not impressed.

Love the story!! Did not love the Performance

You just wanted these two to find their way back to one another right from the beginning. Their connection and history was full on friendship, love, passion and pain. Now they face eachother, must deal with the past and make peace with it. Each one intends for there to be no more, but love finds a way.

They were meant to be
