Recensioner

Annabeth Albert is one of my favourite authors, but this book ... is so full of angst, and fear and desolation and loneliness - the full nine yards of negativity.

This is my 13th book by Albert and only the second one I've awarded less than 4 stars.

Quill, a park ranger in Alaska, is a brick wall, a grumpy immoveable fearful man, damaged by his past of dysfunctional family and relationship. He's a man who has no idea what it's like to look on the bright side - have fun - till Owen.

Owen has been through it all, with a cancer scare that's changed everything in his life. But he's a vital young man in his 30s and has pulled his life together better than most would.

For some reason I don't think Albert explains fully - unless it's that Owen sees a kindred damaged person, although comes from a happy family - Owen persists with everything he is to make a relationship with Quill.

The novel is hard going, and it's 10.5 hours of audiobook. Narrated by Iggy Toma, he does his best with the slog - too much time spent inching up hill to the HEA, and then the trope of a near-death accident to get us there.

I am being harsh, as there are some beautiful moments when the two characters connect.

Holden Justice teaches at the local college, and also has a podcast that is very successful. His social life is active in spite of his needing the aid of a wheelchair. His friends that he has weekly "trivia night" with, think that he needs a roommate after Monroe and Knox’s "roommate situation" ended with them becoming a couple, in book #1....but Holden thinks they're crazy. He thinks of himself as an extrovert, and he likes being able to leave his piles of homework to grade on his dining room table. Cooking for more than one is always much more pleasurable...but he'll get by okay. When Cal a rescue diver gets hurt on a dive and his old RV breaks down, permanently... Holden decides maybe he does need a roommate after all... and the sexy diver is the one he wants. When Holden comes home unexpectedly and discovers Cal’s favorite distraction technique to help him relax and rest when his PTSD is overwhelming, he is surprised but also intrigued. Cal has an obsession with doing all things solo...and it's very questionable. Holden doesn't bat and eye when he discovers Cal's kink. It convinces Cal to let him join in since he's determined to break Cal's hard shell and show him that he can be trusted. Both Holden and Cal have had a lot of traumas in their lives...both physical and mental. Holden dealt with his through humor as an avoidance, while Cal developed thorns to keep people at a distance. Cal saw through Holden’s comic side and Holden broke through Cal’s armor. Both showed that trust could develop and that they could try. Annabeth Albert was one of the first M/M romance authors that I ever read, and when I counted how many of her series and standalones that I had read, I found that with this series...I have read everything that she has written, and I didn't see a single one that I didn't absolutely love. This series looks like it is only going to have three books...but there will still be the things that make these books special...such as this group of lifelong friends that deeply care for one another and want everything for the others that they want and deserve. Most of these men are in their early forties and need love and trust in their lives. I really like when characters are "recycled" through a series, so it was great to see all the men from the first book back to encourage Cal and Holden. I am equal parts eager and leery of the next book. Eager because we finally get Sam’s story and Worth is finally coming home...yet leery because it will be the last book in this wonderful series.… (mer)

Professor Holden Justice is teaching at the local college, doing his podcast, and hanging out with his friends on trivia night, and drinking questionable coffee at his friend Sam’s coffee house, "The Blessed Bean". Their screwy idea that he needed a roommate was crazy.... wasn't it? He might be an extrovert, but he liked being a bit messy with his house and his life. Of course, cooking for more than one person is always much more fun. So, when the prickly diver gets hurt, and his old RV finally breaks down permanently, Holden decides that maybe he does need a roommate after all....as long as it's that sexy diver. Holden comes home at lunch one day and discovers Cal’s favorite distraction technique to help him relax and rest when his PTSD is overwhelming. To say that he's surprised but intrigued, is an understatement. Cal’s obsession with doing all things solo soon becomes very questionable. Holden understands that it's a release technique for him, plus being alone, having major trust issues, along with being demisexual, complicates things a lot more. He’s determined that he is going to break that hard shell and show Cal that he really can be trusted. I had wondered about Holden's friend from the first book and why he was in a wheelchair that was never fully explained. Seems that it's not a new story. Some people, especially when they are young, think they are invincible, unbreakable...but one unwise choice changes their lives forever and this is what happened to this man. I really liked that both Cal and Holden picked up on cues of the man's discomfort about talking about it, as both men had had trauma in their lives...both physical and mental. Holden dealt with it through humor, while Cal developed "stickily thorns" to keep others as far away as possible. Luckly, Cal saw through Holden’s comical side and Holden found a way to break through Cal’s armor. I have read and always loved everything that Annabeth Albert has ever written. The characters in her books usually start out as friends and slowly develop into something more. Nor are they "kids", but seasoned, often life-challenged, men, that need love and trust in their lives. I also like that these characters don't just disappear from previous books but are allowed to wander throughout each story. In this one we get to see that Monroe and Knox from the first book, have settled nicely into their relationship and Knox is not only accepted but a welcomed member of their group. I am both excited and a bit leery of the next book. Excited because we finally get Sam’s story, and Worth is finally coming home. Leery because this is supposed to be the last book in this wonderful series. I know I can trust Annabeth to come up with something just as good so I'm not too worried.… (mer)

Monroe recently retired from the Navy’s NCIS unit and returned to Safe Harbor, Oregon to renovate and put up for sale the large Victorian home that his Great-Aunt Henri has left to him. He spent his final years of high school living with her and has a close group of friends that have welcomed him home. Included in that group was his best friend, Rob, who is now Chief of Police and using his skills to look over some of the town’s cold cases, especially the one that involves the death of his good friend, Worth’s parents, the Stapleton’s. Something always felt a bit off that it was Worth’s dad that it was always thought to have caused the disappearance of his mom...and his own death of a massive heart attack had raised some questions also. Rob's son, Knox, is back in town but with Rob's 3-year-old triplet daughters and a new baby expected very soon, there wasn't room for Knox to stay with them. The obvious solution was that since Monroe needed major help fixing up his Aunt Henri's house and Knox needed a place to stay...plus Knox was experienced in renovating... a win/win in Rob’s mind. So, it turns out that the very sexy younger man that Monroe had danced with and kissed at the bachelor party in Portland...who called himself "Rebound", became his new roommate and was his friend Rob's son... Knox. They were both incredibly attracted to one another, and it didn't take long for them to begin to act on it and fall in love...but when and what were they going to tell Rob? I guess I don't understand why a 23-year-old adult would need to worry so much about this. Rob already had Knox's life way too planned out without consulting him. Monroe and Knox didn't need anyone to second guess how they felt for one another, and age certainly wasn’t a factor for them...love had already snuck into their hearts and firmly stuck. Annabeth Albert was one of the authors that aided in advancing my love for the M/M Romance genera. I am always eager for a new Annabeth Albert book because she is such an incredibly talented author. I hope that there is soon going to be more of this series. I know that each story will revolve around a different couple, but I hope that Monroe and Knox, as well as Holden and Sam, will always have a major role in what happens.… (mer)
