Victor goes on his honeymoon alone when he catches his fiancé cheating. He stumbles into the wrong car one night and meets Oliver. Oliver can see Victor's sadness and offers to be his companion for the week he's in town. Even with a deadline hanging over their heads, they can't help the becoming besotted with one another. They from completely different worlds, but they have to decide if it's worth risking it all to take a chance on their happiness. 

There were no shortage of swoony, heart melting moments with these two. They both stole my heart from the first page. Oliver is working to make a better future for himself after a crappy upbringing and values his independence. Victor challenges him to trust in another person after so many people have let him down before. But Victor is having a bit of a mid-life crisis himself, realizing that no one in his circle likes him for who is actually is. Oliver genuinely cares for Victor and gives him the confidence to stand up for himself. They both push each other to be open and vulnerable, knowing there's a safe, loving place to land. 

I loved the beginning but as it went on it fell a little flat. The whole "we can't be together no matter how much we both want to" got tiring after a while, especially because there was no legitimate reason why they couldn't be together. I think I just expected the feels to hit harder. However, there were so many romantic moments between Oliver and Victor that I didn't mind too much. I enjoyed the book all around and had happy vibes the whole time I was reading, it just wasn't as angsty as I was expecting. I'm interested to see how the next book plays out with the characters it's set up for, I love a good redemption story and want to see Oliver and Victor being all cute and loved up.
