COVER DESIGN: KANAXA

BLURB

When Brian “Brin” Schubert’s condo floods, he takes his co-worker up on the offer to stay on his crappy futon for a while. The last thing he expects is for his friend’s roommate to be the one guy he despises the most. The same guy who stomped on his heart senior year of high school. And by the looks of the girl on his arm, the same man who’s still deep inside the closet.

Nicholas Dell never predicted that eleven years later, one of his greatest regrets would show up on his doorstep down on his luck. Nick has made some terrible mistakes—story of his life—and he’s been paying for them ever since. And if the guilt and shame aren’t enough, his first crush had to turn into one of the sexiest men he’s ever laid eyes on.

Nick and Brin have weeks to steer clear of each other. Weeks to avoid strangling each other. But when stubbornness leads to skyrocketing sexual tension, hate-sex doesn’t seem like such an awful way to work through their frustration. Except hate is a powerful emotion, especially when it’s turned inward. And in Nick’s case he’s been drowning in a sea of self-loathing for so long, he can’t see his way out.

As Brin reconnects with Nick, his perception of what really happened in their past begins to change. He’s finally ready to forgive him and take a second chance on the one guy who stirs him like no other. But Nick’s demons are complicated, heart-wrenching…demanding. So devastating, he might never allow himself true happiness—even with the one man who’s always owned his heart.

Review

Christina Lee has long been one of my favorite go-to authors. Each book she writes sucks you in and makes you feel. She has this way with her words that makes it easy to connect, to care, and to cheer for her characters.

Regret was no different. Each step of the way she had me not just feeling for Brin and his hatred and hurt toward Nick but she had me curious about who he was, what was he going to do next,
and does he get the connection he so desperately wants/needs with his dad? And Nick? That boy broke me. I needed to see his HEA but more importantly, I NEEDED him to be happy with himself, and I wanted him to open up, not just to Brin or even his roommate Elijah, but mostly to his mom.

There’s so much packed into this book that in some ways it's hard to put into words. What I can say is, I loved the journey she took me on with Brin and Nick, and I loved watching them evolve from the first chapter to the last. I would read it again and again, and I would recommend everyone to read this. Truly emotional. Truly cute. Truly HOT!

Oh, and I’m hoping that we see a book for Elijah and maybe even one for Kam. A girl can hope!

EXCERPT

Tally pawed at the pillow for a few seconds before finally sinking down, apparently resigned to her position. I straightened to back out of the room, only then allowing my gaze to slide over Brin’s sleeping form. My pulse spiked when I noticed his eyes on me. “Not sure Tally will want to sleep without you,” he rasped out. The words were like a thunderbolt to my chest. As if he was referring to more than the dog finding her way to my bed. “Not sure I’ll want to sleep without her,” I replied in a hoarse voice, attempting to get my emotions under control. Without you. Because you’ve taken up residence inside my heart once again. But maybe you’ve always been there, winding inside my rib cage, coiling around my lungs. Making it impossible to breathe, to think, to stop wanting. As I turned to leave, his warm fingers curled around my wrist, searing into my skin. My breath caught in my throat. It was the first time he made the first move and my heart bloomed into an impossibly large bouquet of hope and aching desire inside my chest. Our gazes snagged and held as his other hand slowly reached for the edge of the blanket and pulled it aside.
