Dylan Sutton doesn't go looking for trouble, but it always seems to find him. After the devastating loss of his father, he travels across the country to deliver a letter to his dad's estranged best friend. But surely, he deserves a night of relaxation when he first gets to town, right? He sets his sights on the attractive older guy at the bar-except his almost-one-night-stand turns out to be the very man he's in town to see. Oops.Clayton Turner has a nasty habit of either losing or hurting the people he cares about. After his partner died, he'd decided keeping to himself was the smartest life choice. He doesn't count on trouble stumbling into his life in the form of a sexy guy twenty years his junior... and for that guy to be linked to one of the most painful losses of Clay's past.Fate steps in and Dylan gets stranded in Bailey Springs. He gets a job, and Clay can't stop himself from trying to help Dylan get on his feet. And Dylan? Well, Dylan can't seem to stop flirting with Clay. He tries, he really does...just about as much as Clay attempts not to like it. They couldn't be more different...or are they? Soon, Trouble and Sad Eyes realize they have a lot more in common than they thought, and once they land in bed together, there's no going back. Moving forward isn't any easier, though. Clay's always walked the straight and narrow, always followed all the rules. But what does he do when the only right path involves looking for trouble?… (mer)

I did not DNF, but it was a near thing at some points. I did skim some of the last ten chapters, not because I wasn't interested in these two guys, but because of all the repetition. Of actions, of thoughts, of motives, of every little thing. I KNOW. I REMEMBER. Whyyy (for instance) do you say what he's thinking and then have him say what he was thinking and then rephrase what he just said? It's gloppy prose!

This novel could have been at least ten chapters shorter had all the redundancy been cut out. I am not joking. Literally a third of the words are superfluous. I have to assume whoever edited this sucked at their job. Books are collaborative art. Ideally, what a reader gets has been honed and polished and made better. *sigh*

I liked the plot, the age gap trope, the ADHD character, the grieving characters with the good but troubled dynamic. Were it not for all the excess verbiage, I'd have given this five stars, even though the sex scenes read a little flat and repetitive (typical of this author). Ooh and these guys have a terrific fight - that's one of the best scenes. I also loved where it ended, because it wasn't super-mushy but rather deeply meaningful to them.

Not the worst novel I've finished by far, but I am sad, because it could have been so much better.
