This is book two in the Blackcreek series and focuses on Wes Jensen, whose oldest sister died in book one. He is new in town and is now raising her four-year-old daughter. He has to find a job and figure out how to be both mother and father to his vivacious niece. Braden Roth is a firefighter in Blackcreek and wants to be more than friends with Wes. Unfortunately, Wes won't allow himself to get close to anyone because they always leave - his father, mother, sister, and former boyfriend. Can Braden convince him to give them a chance?
After reading the first book, "Collide," I picked up this one hoping to see more of Noah and Cooper, that story's main characters. I did but only in small snippets. Wes and Braden weren't very interesting to me, maybe because I was so focused on the many problems good editing could have fixed. Wrong tenses, misspellings, poor grammar, and shifting points of view (even in the same sentence) almost made me give up. Wes was pretty much a downer through most of the book, and Braden became annoying trying to get him to open up. Better editing and a tighter narrative would have made this story work much better. 355 pages.
