So romantic and beautiful! I think this one of my favourite book from this author.

Claude and Harley fall in love despite having just met and living very different lives.
Both of them wear deep scars from past relationships: Claude has been single from years and it's difficult to let himself being vulnerable again with another person, while Harley is dealing with the betrayals of people who were supposed to love him (his fiancè) and support him (his agent and his therapy); he hasn't a great relationship with his own brother either and he's still grieving the loss of his father.

One thing I loved the most about this story is that Harley and Claude's relationship begins with a touch (Claude giving Harley a massage) and through the whole story they never stop hugging, holding and kissing, Claude often pulls Harley to sit in his lap. I adore touch as love language and this book satisfyed my need for it.

The sex scenes are incredibly intimate and emotional: sex for Claude is different but no less intense, he has the ability to read Harley and his needs and he always always makes him feel safe.
In his arms, Harley feels so cherished and understood, also thanks to Claude's very strong protectiveness.

Luckily, there's no miscommunication whatsoever, Claude and Harley are two adults who are mature enough to share their feelings, emotions and fears and who work for making things work.

E.M. Lindsey delivered another wonderful book: this has been the perfect story to escape for a minute from the horrible reality we're living these past few days.
Totally recommended.

I received an ARC from the author and this is my honest review.
