Synopsis
The customer always comes first, but IT consultant Brady Jansen loves to hate Nash O’Hara. Except the fine line between hate and attraction means sometimes Brady can’t help it when he crosses the boundary from professional and personal.
Recently divorced, workaholic Nash knows he’s hard to please. When the smart-mouthed IT consultant he depends on to keep his office running offers a no-commitment hook up, it seems like exactly what he and Brady both need to get through a busy summer at work. No one has to know about their arrangement.
But the more time they spend together, the more secrets they have to keep from the people around them, and from each other. The lies are piling up, until it’s hard to tell who’s fooling who. If Brady and Nash want to find the balance between work and love, a little honesty will go a long way.
Review
I was
swooned by this story and adored it. It had all the feelings a good balanced, emotional
romance must have.
This
story is told by both men's different views and I loved them hard.
Snarky
comments, rude, witty, funny, sweet, you name it and it’s here.
Brady
Jansen has an IT company and one of his clients is Nash O’Hara of the company Out
& About. There is always something going on there with their network,
laptops, mobiles.
Nash yells
and is demanding of Brady and Brady serves it up with a snarky attitude and a smile.
In
all this commotion Nash kisses Brady hard to shut snarkiness up. Dang, that’s
the start of a sexual relationship. The age-gap doubts in Nash’s head are all
banged out of his brain in a blink.
It’s
just hooking up, not dating, no expectations. Both don’t want anything serious.
Just now and then and only for the sex. Just to escape their busy lives and
enjoy each other.
But
they fit so well and spend more and more time together. It all feels so honest
and natural.
Nash's
two kids live most of the time with his ex, Dominic. When he claims Nash's time
and pressures him about his failure towards his children Nash has to make a
heartbreaking decision.
Both
Nash and Brady are lovable guys, Nash is chaotic and after his divorce, also
feeling confused, guilty, and lonely. Brady has a big caring heart, in the
bedroom is quite the dominant one. There are some delicious encounters to
enjoy. Both men were vulnerable and endearing.
This
whole story breathes love and compassion. Nash and Brady connect wonderfully.
The
side stories as both their companies and families are greatly entwined in this
story.
At
times it was so funny I snorted hard. There were hot af and heartbreaking moments.
All
inner dialogue and struggle were honest, with purpose and best intention.
A
smoothly written, captivating, well developed, very lovable story which I
surely want to recommend!
