Club owner Harry Klinger has had his eye on Tristan Martin for months, but never had the nerve to approach him. He’s watched as Tristan dated Eddie and then reluctantly sat on the sidelines during the emotional breakup when Tristan discovered Eddie was dealing drugs. Now that Tristan seems to be healing, Harry hopes to get his chance.
When Eddie sends his men into Harry’s club to harass Tristan, Harry steps in to help. Tristan is reluctant at first since he admittedly has terrible taste in men, but Harry seems genuine, and Tristan can’t help but think Harry’s sexy as well and begins to hope for happiness for both of them.
Unfortunately, Eddie isn’t behaving rationally, sampling too much of his own product. With his determination to take Tristan back, it’ll take more than Harry’s help to keep Tristan safe as Eddie ratchets up his attempts to get what he wants.
'Backward' is book three in Andrew Grey's wildly popular series, 'Bronco's Boys'. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two installments, and sat down with expectations of the same with this addition. Since I knew the author continued to have former main characters of the series featured prominently in each successive book, I was eagerly anticipating visiting with the "fabulous four", Zach, Tristan, Kevin, and Jeremy, along with Bull and Lowell. It's a family, and a wonderful place to spend some time.
I was intrigued with Harry practically from the beginning, and I saw him as a gentle giant. Harry wants someone to love, to come home to, to build a life with. He's jealous of what Bull has found with Zach, and for a while Harry has his eye on Tristan. Unfortunately, he waits too long, and Tristan starts dating Eddie, who turns out to be a drug dealing scumbag. Tristan dumps Eddie as soon as he discovers what is going on, but the whole situation deals Tristan a serious blow to his self-confidence. A trait of his that wasn't particularly strong to begin with. Eddie views Tristan as property and doesn't want to let him go. Once he realizes Tristan and Harry are seeing each other, the gloves come off and Eddie escalates the danger to all my guys.
I enjoyed this book. I liked the fact that both Harry and Tristan had been dealt rough hands in their lives by men they thought they loved, so both of them were hesitant to trust in the other. If you enjoy sweet with a little drama, then this is the book for you.
