Blurb
Red Maine’s blue-collared bad boy, North Underwood, has a dirty little secret—Will Tanner.
Friends since kindergarten, North had been the one to jump first, and his fall into Will’s bed ten years ago had been no exception. Will and North had been inseparable, but things change, people grow apart, and even a blazing flame can dwindle to a dying ember over time.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
After a run in with a bottle of Bundy rum, Will and North find themselves in a compromising and all too familiar position.
Blurred lines, bad decisions, and one wrong foot after another lead these two down a spiral of sarcasm, secrets, and sex, but when North’s hetero status is called into question he can’t figure up from down. And despite Will telling himself he wouldn’t fall again, he’s head over heels and wandering without a compass.
Love is love.
Love is truth.
Love … shouldn’t be this damn hard to figure out.

There is your normal everyday M/M
romance story and then there is your Carmen Jenner M/M romance story,
two very different things.
I love this genre, the love between two
men is such a wonderful thing to read about. In most cases I have
seen you get so wrapped up in the actual love story that you forget
you are reading about two guys.
Not in this case....
The struggles between North and Will
are very much evident throughout this entire story. You are
constantly reminded of the hell these two are going through.
Most of the time you read a book and
think, 'yeah, definitely fiction, no way this happens in the real
world.' Also not the case here.
Mrs. Jenner gives us a harsh look into
reality. Although these characters and this story may be fiction,
the struggles they go through are very much real and happening on a
daily basis.
The vulgar words that are used far to
frequently in this book are a constant reminder of the world we live
in. The way we were raised...we can all relate.
This author says it best...
'It's funny how kids see the
truth in everything. From birth we feed them a pack of lies, about
fairy-tales, Santa, the tooth fairy, a goddamn magical bunny that
leaves brightly-colored eggs all over the world on one day every
year. We tell them that love is unconditional, it's all that
matters...unless you happen to love another man. And then that love
is wrong, dirty and shameful.'
This is a very intense, disturbing and
gut wrenching story that will pull on your heart strings.
This story is also about two people who
defy the odds. Rise above the haters and get that happily ever after
that most of us only dream of.
Will and North's story will consume
you. You will find yourself mentally fighting right along with them
for the right to be happy.
Also, in normal Jenner fashion the s*x
is completely out of this world. I have read my fair share of M/M
romance and this, by far, is one of best. It's sensual and down
right raw.
I don't have to convince you to buy
this book because it's Carmen Jenner....the amazing author who sent
us to Sugartown, and introduced me to Kick, (my forever MC book
boyfriend).
Her stories are perfection so I knew
this would be no less. I will have to say, it was the first M/M book
that I have read from her so I was curious.
She...nailed...it.
6 Star read for me

Excerpt
I push my glass towards him for another refill, downing the shot of liquid courage. “You ever think about what might have been?”
Will scoffs and sets his glass down. “You’re seriously asking me this?”
“What?” I say, getting pissy now, because he acts as though he’s the only one who lost something. “I can’t ask a question?”
He takes another sip, avoiding my gaze. The humour has left his face; his mouth forms a tight line as he stares down into his drink. “You can’t ask that question.”
“Okay then,” I say, agitated that he’s calling the shots. I ask a question I’ve been wanting the answer to for a very long time. “Why didn’t you leave?”
“Jesus, not you too.” Will shakes his head. “You sound like Josh.”
“Who the hell is Josh?”
He slams back the rest of his drink and beats his fist against his chest. “Fuck buddy.”
“You have a fuck buddy?” I clench my jaw. I’m starting to see why Bundy has a bad name. Right now, I’d like to find Josh and beat his fucking head in.
Will laughs. “Look at you getting all jealous.”
Is he fucking kidding me?
“How long?” I say through my teeth.
“How long have I been fucking him? Or how long is his cock? It’s about five for both.”
“Five what?” I snap. “Days? Weeks?”
“Months.” He rests his elbow on the bar, dangling his glass from his long fingers. “And inches.”
“You been fucking this Josh for five months, and you didn’t think to mention it?”
“I’ve fucked a lot of men in the last twelve years, North. Why would I mention any of them to you?”
“I kissed you.”
“Yeah, and I didn’t ask for it,” he says, swirling the liquor in his glass. “How many women have you slept with in the past twelve years?”
I don’t have an answer for him. I don’t even remember half of their names, only that I was fumbling around in a drunken stupor, trying to grab onto just a little bit of happiness. On the outside I have all my shit together, but inwardly I’m hollow. I’m the worthless piece of shit my father always told me I was, and I’d bury my dick in anyone in an attempt to find something that made me feel even half of what Will had that summer.
