Book Blurb

Years ago Lance and Gordon fell in love when the bass player and band manager were part of The Might. The band was led by a rich, self important genius and everything was just great as long as no one rocked the boat. But Gordon chafed in the restrictive atmosphere and Lance was too laid back to test any boundaries. Gordon pushed for more; Lance fought any change. The final straw came when Lance acted out by sleeping with someone else. That was it. Gordon broke it off and was gone.

Now, Gordon's invited Lance to join the Indigo Knights, a new band he's managing. He's made it clear that this is business only and that they're not going to rekindle the flames of their past. But Lance has been so hung up on Gordon that he's been celibate all this time. He wants no one else. He regrets how things ended, but he's never had the chance to try to make amends.

This is his only chance. Can Lance convince Gordon to trust him again?

 

Book Review

I've been looking forward to Lance and Gordon's story. Don't get me wrong, I've so enjoyed Rabin and Danny's books, but knowing that Lance and Gordon have some type of history intrigued me. Plus Lance is quiet and, obviously, something happened in his past, based on all of Noble's comments about Lance being celibate. Hmm. What would cause a young, gorgeous, talented rocker to give up sex? That's what I wanted to discover in this, Jet Mykles's third book in the 'Indigo Knights' series.

“Both hands came up, palms out in defense. “I know. You said we weren’t getting back together. I understand.” Lance dropped his hands and let emotion bring the corners of his lips down and fill his gaze. “But you need to understand that I’ve never gotten over you.”
Gordon shook his head slowly, contempt written across his face. “You hypocritical bastard. You had your chance with me."

Three years ago, Lance and Gordon met when the former band Lance and Noble were in hired Gordon as their manager. Shelby, the lead singer, and controlling force of that band, was a control freak to end all control freaks. At the time, Lance had been with them for four years, and the only crowd they played in front of was at the club Shelby owned. Naturally, Lance and Noble were pretty excited that maybe things might change with Gordon in charge. They changed, all right, just not necessarily for the good, at least not for Lance. Even though they tried not to, Lance and Gordon fell in love, regardless that Gordon had been determined he would never get involved in another relationship that wasn't committed and monogamous. Theirs was, until Lance got angry, and did something stupid, and lost the best thing he ever had.

So now, here they are, Gordon managing the Indigo Knights, and being responsible for calling Lance and Noble to come meet the band. No matter what else might have happened, Gordon knew Lance and Noble would complete the band, and the four men would work well together. Except now, Lance has to deal with seeing Gordon, and the pain he caused, and the pain Lance still feels. And Gordon makes it plain that there is no "us", and, if Lance is doing the celibacy thing for Gordon, he can forget about it. Lance knows they're never getting back together, but the thought of sleeping with anyone else just doesn't appeal. So where in the world does this leave them?

I really enjoyed Lance and Gordon's story. The author did a great job shuttling back and forth from past to present to explain what happened before, and how they ended up where they are. It was easy to see that in the past Gordon wanted more for Lance, and knew he deserved more, so sometimes he pushed a little. But Lance had gotten over those dreams, or thought he had, so it made him angry that Gordon couldn't, or wouldn't, understand why Lance stayed with Shelby. I don't agree with what Lance did, but Gordon had responsibility in the ending of their relationship, before Lance cheated. And, even though it took quite a while, I was happy to see these two men back where they belonged. With each other.
