Devon and Caiden begin an "affair" with a night of passionate sex. But ... there are complications. Devon is a student with some emotional scars from his father's homophobia, and he doesn't want anyone to pave the way for him. Caiden knows that in the past he's fallen for men too quickly and he has an unwanted tattoo of an ex-husband's name on his arm to prove it.

So... they spend a night together and it's fantastic then they find themselves spending another and another. Devon is clear... he doesn't think that what they're doing is going to be a great love affair... until maybe he doesn't think that anymore.

Matters get complicated when Caiden offers Devon a job as an intern at his film company. As a film student, Devon can't pass up an opportunity to work on a film set. the new job adds to Devon's feelings of discomfort with the relationship and the power imbalance.

I found that I really cared about these characters despite the fact that this was a novella. Locey did a great job of setting the feel of the main relationship. I was surprisingly emotional towards the end of the novella. I didn't expect that! I was fully invested in Devon's feelings! It was great!

You could read this as a stand-alone, but it's probably even more enjoyable to be swept along with the series! ( )
