Escaping an abusive
relationship left Luke Preston anxious and spouting panic-induced
poetry. Desperate for a fresh start, Luke accepts a job remodeling a
tired old beach house for a professional soccer player and his model
girlfriend. While his passion is literature, not sports, focusing on the
renovations eases his anxiety. Until the job he signed up for turns out
to be more complicated than advertised.
Sidelined with a serious injury, soccer star Michael Martinez decides his beach house is the perfect place to recuperate. Remodeling might be the diversion he needs to keep his mind off his busted knee. Falling for the pretty designer with some quirky habits wasn’t on the drawing board. Unfortunately, Luke didn’t build a big enough closet for Michael to hide in. Having a star-powered sports career used to be all Michael lived for, but he’ll have to reevaluate his plans and find the right words if he wants to build more than a beach house with Luke.

This is another author that has
been on my radar for a long time but never read. And I have to admit I just
loved these characters so much after I finished this 240 page book I jumped
right into the second one, which can be read as standalone but reading in order
will help with the overall enjoyment.
These two MC’s couldn’t be more
different but charmingly they fit together from Luke’s first knock on Michael’s
door. The way Luke is trying to get his life back together, overcoming his
anxiety and pushing his way into Michael’s life knowing that this job is he’s
one break he needs. And Michael,
frustrated over his injury, his ex and his life in general. Finds that Luke and
the remodel is the distraction he needs after all. I just loved the easy banter
between these two as well as Luke and his BFF. They way we built up a friendship,
even though Luke knew that he was kidding himself the whole time. The overall
descriptions’, not only of the views but all the little details, adds to a
great read. The only thing that aggravated me was the fact that Luke wasn’t
more sympatric towards Michael’s situation. The way Luke and he’s BFF had been
treated in their younger days, he should have really understood.

This is book two in the Right and Wrong Stories and can be
read as standalone; however I would read in order to completely enjoy the
story.
Brandon, the owner of BGood and BFF of Luke, has been out of
sorts since the breakup of his last boyfriend and Luke and Michael making
everything official. He’s blaming it on the spring weather in So. California
but knows that not the case. Then out
of nowhere his high school love and heartbreak shows up! What a great story,
Brandon always cool, calm, live in moment just had his world turned upside
down. And the guy that did it was none other than the one guy deep down he
never stopped loving, Jake. The details
we get as Brandon and Jake and Mack (the dog) start rebuilding the friendship
are just amazing. I’ve never wanted to visit an area more. You can feel
Brandon’s pain and unease throughout at the same time you just want to tell
Jake; don’t give up, this time! And then you have the secondary cast, that
gives a perfect fit, from the stalker ex, the BFF that only wants what’s best,
to the over the top ’mother’. Just a brilliant second book, let’s hope we get a
third?
