Brian McCarthy is a cynic who hates Christmas, doesn't keep in touch with his family, and likes quick hookups and faster goodbyes. The only real relationship he's ever been in was with the subject of his best-selling book, "Caged," a young man held hostage for five years. Unfortunately, it was entirely one-sided, since Zach was already involved with someone else. So the last thing Brian expects when he goes in for treatment for an injured knee is to develop feelings for his physical therapist. But Jerry seems intent on either avoiding Brian or demanding more than he is willing to give, and Brian doesn’t know if he has the courage to face his past to forge a future.

Seeing him hook up with David's ex-boyfriend Jerry was a bit too 90210-ish for me. I thin...
I wanted more of the main characters of Finding Zach, but I could read between the lines, fortunately.It's like - the other characters deserved their own happiness, aye.
I didn't read the first book in the series and this book can probably be read as a stand alone. Readers will get background info on Brian (whom I will assume surfaced in the first book) and his developing relationship with Jerry, his physical therapist. I found the book to be quite enjoyable althoug...
Very good short m/m holiday romance about an investigative journalist going to physical therapy for his injured knee who's very attracted to his physical therapist.
