Christian Sanchez never thought he would see Jonah Roberts again. Foster brothers for a short time as teens, Christian developed a massive crush on Jonah, his tough, older roommate. That all ended when the cops came and arrested Jonah, stealing him from Christian’s uncertain world.

Jonah never forgot Christian, even though he cut off all contact with the boy. Jonah knew the kid with the crush on him would be better off forgetting that Jonah ever existed. Jonah stayed in contact with his foster mother Marisol, but refused to hear stories about Christian, and made the woman promise never to tell Christian anything about him.

Upon her death fifteen years later, Marisol leaves a request that Jonah come home and help Christian renovate her house. Jonah can’t refuse, even though he knows he will have to face Christian once again.

Although they haven’t seen each other in years, neither man has forgotten the other. Neither man will deny Marisol her final request…even if it means facing their past, working together, sharing the room they had as teens, getting to know one another now as men, and discovering that the brief friendship they shared has altered into a consuming, abiding love.

You never forget your first love, no matter how old you were. At fourteen, Christian knew he was in love with bad boy, Jonah. It didn’t matter what the older boy had done wrong, Christian knew he was worth more than meets the eye. Fifteen years later, Christian has a second chance to reunite with his first love and is determined not to let Jonah get away again.

Jonah is an emotionally distant man who’s never had any close relationships. From a broken home as a child to foster care to finally juvenile detention, Jonah trusts no one and has difficulty forming lasting bonds with others. So his reaction to Christian, even after all these years, shocks and surprises him. While he doesn’t understand why he wants and needs Christian above anyone else, Jonah is determined not to make the same mistakes of his past.

He wants to be a better person for Christian and tries, in his own way, to make Christian happy. He’s not always successful but he never doubts his feelings for Christian, even when they scare him.

Christian is a perfect counterpoint to Jonah’s emotional rollercoaster. When Jonah attempts to run from their budding relationship, Christian is there to stop him. Similarly Christian may jump to conclusions and make false assumptions but he’s quick to apologize and work just as hard as Jonah to making the relationship work. It’s not easy for either man and for all their communication, they don’t always hear each other but their connection is undeniable as is their steamy chemistry.

The story involves an ex-boyfriend of Christian’s that can’t understand the word “no” and that Christian has moved on, creating a reason to move the story along. This was a little thin and really the relationship between Jonah and Christian is where most readers will want to keep their focus. The emotional journey these two take is far greater than the physical and it has a satisfying happy ending for all the romance lovers. The author smartly played to the strengths of the book in focusing on the characters while letting the details slide somewhat.

For new and old fans of Dane’s alike, you’ll be sure to enjoy this quick and solid read. It may not be as great as some of her other books, but I liked the characters and their relationship. I can easily see these two happy in the future, while they may still have some issues and problems to solve. I can easily recommend this book to anyone wanting a good book.
