This is book #3, in the Arden St Ives series.  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  To avoid spoilers, and to have a complete understanding of this series, I recommend reading this series in order.

Arden is trying hard to move on.  He knows he will always love Caspian, but he cannot be with someone who does not want him there.  He goes about his life as if this is how it will be from now on.

Caspian will always love Arden.  He just made up his mind to go another direction.  When the worst happens, can he walk away from someone he loves who is hurting?

I expected to hate this book.  I was so invested in these characters I hated to see them apart.  So how grateful was I as I read further and further along and was excited to see them show how they could be in each others lives in other ways.  What an amazing story and a terrific ending!  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

This is book #2, in the Arden St Ives series.  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order.

Arden's story continues with his on and off again relationship trial with Caspian.  He puts himself out there in the hopes that he can help heal the coldest of hearts.  While it seems a good patch for a time, there is always the human factor.

Caspian does not want to be fixed, nor does he want to come across weak.  His view of Arden trying to keep him close is skewed by those who have claimed to love him before.  This would take all day and a slew of psychoanalysis to try and explain.  For now, we must accept he is not ready to move on.

This story was so good and had the upswing going for it.  There was heat, passion, love, and so much more.  I was very pleased to finally see character development in many of the characters involved.  I cannot wait to read the next installment and hope the author hurries and has pity on me.  I give this title a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
