Adam:
Success can mean a lot of things. To me it meant living a lie and getting away with it.
But pretending is exhausting. My sister’s wedding in Italy was exactly what I needed. A week on the Amalfi coast with sunshine, wine, and zero complications.
Too bad the universe saw an opportunity to ruin that plan. Because what could be more complicated than the arrival of an attractive man who sees right through my act? One that is determined to remind me that you can’t hide who you really are.
What if he tells people my secret? Or, worse still, what if I can’t control these feelings. Because right now I’m feeling all sorts of things – fear, anger, lust…
No, I need to keep this thing under control. I can’t give in.
But what if, just once, I didn’t fight it?
Jacob:
After a series of bad decisions, running away to Italy seemed like the perfect escape. A fresh start in a new country. Nothing, and no one would bring me back to Ireland.
When I meet Adam at my friend’s wedding, I’m captivated. There’s something about this rugged stranger that makes me forget that I keep messing up every part of my life.
I know it’s a bad idea and I know I’m playing with fire. But when anger turns to passion I know I can’t stay away.
He can pretend all he wants but that man belongs in my bed. He might only be here for one week, but I intend to make the most of it.
After all, I can’t ask him for more when I’m not sure I’ll stick around.
But what if, this time, I didn’t run?
Momma Says: 3 stars⭐⭐⭐
This one was a bit too angsty for me at times, but with all their faults, these guys kept me turning the pages. I had to see if they'd get at least a happy for now conclusion. Poor Adam isn't just in the closet, he's taken up residence with no intention of ever leaving, and Jacob runs every time there's a hint of adversity or it just seems too much to deal with. With one hiding and one running, this pair is hot and cold for much of the story, and more often than not, I wanted to shake the living daylights out of both of them. On the brighter side of that, they do show some growth as the story progresses and start to meet somewhere in the middle. In the end, even though I was mad at one or both of them more often than not, the story did hold my interest and was certainly worth the read. I would recommend this one to anyone who likes an angst-filled, coming out of the closet, opposites attract story.
