Book Blurb

When Chris Andrews gave evidence against the men who manipulated him into taking part in a homophobic assault, Josh Saunders was his rock, and his support gave Chris the courage to come out. Now that Chris finds himself sharing a house with Josh, he wonders where that strong, sexy guy has disappeared to. Chris wants him back—but he can’t wait forever.

Josh has been attracted to Chris from the get-go, and the more time they spend together, the stronger the pull grows. But he needs to make sure Chris feels the same attraction, and not just gratitude. Josh bides his time, waiting for the right moment… and misses his chance when Chris starts seeing someone else.

Somehow Josh has to convince Chris they are perfect together. But first, he needs to figure out who has been sending Chris malicious letters, threatening him over the phone, and writing hateful slogans across their front door—and persuade his own ex, who seems determined to win Josh back, to get lost. In fact, Josh’s life may depend on it.

 

Book Review

This is the third installment in the 'Learning to Love' series and although Michael, Sean, Evan, and Daniel are featured and integral, this is the story of Josh and Chris. Two young men who manage to take miscommunication to a whole new level in their pursuit of love and happiness. Their story follows the same heartwarming sweetness that the other couples had with a little bit of drama thrown in to stir things up.

Josh moved into the house the end of book two as he got accepted to medical school, and wants to become a pediatric physician. He's been single for over a year since things ended with his ex and being around the two madly in love couples in the house reminds him that he wants what they have and he isn't willing to settle for less. He is very attracted to Chris, but since being the shoulder the younger man needed during the trial, Josh doesn't want Chris to feel obligated to go out with him, so he's not saying a word about his feelings.

Chris has had a pretty tough year. In testifying against the others in the trial for assault against Michael, Chris inadvertently outed himself and life has gotten a whole lot harder. Luckily, Michael and the gang invited him to move in, because he would have been the victim of a hate crime himself if he'd stayed in the dorm. But now he's dealing with his parents threatening to disown him and an unknown someone sending him threatening letters. Life is never dull around that house!

I really liked Chris and Josh. Theirs was a more simplistic coming together that made it more powerful in my eyes. Not to mention, I think I liked these two characters the best out of the six young men, which made seeing them get their happy ever after even better. I have no idea whether this is the end for this series as I think there could be more to tell. I will be grateful for these three and be happy if another couple is introduced.
