When unrequited love leaves Dylan Hart sleepless and nursing his wounds, instinct draws him to the one place he's found mindless respite in the past—Lovato's. It's a place for every fantasy, where a night of insane NSA sex brings relief.
It should be a perfect escape, and for one magical night it seems that way, but then worlds collide, and reality bites when Dylan's hookup desperately needs a friend. Surely Dylan can't trust his instincts when friendship has bruised his heart so badly before?
The deck is stacked against former ballet dancer Angelo Giordano ever finding real love. At least visiting Lovato's offers respite from a life defined by illness; a glimmer of light in the dull gray of his so-called life without dance. But then he encounters Dylan, who makes his heart pound once more with purpose.
Angelo's mind is blown by this man, but the disease that ended his career won't let him bask in new love. He's drowning, and Dylan can't save him while insecurities swamp them both. The only way to make it means confronting their demons. If Dylan can turn his back on the past, and Angelo can face his uncertain future, maybe they can chase their dreams together.
Contains mature themes.

The (audio)book isn't bad, but I'm not too keen on going for another one from this author based on what I heard here. I'd like to give this book more stars, but there were certain issues for me that I couldn't get over. The narrator has a peculiar way of reading, making it sound like he's emphasizing each word that isn't in a character dialogue. It took a while for me to get over, because the flow of the text got kind of bumpy. As to the writing: There were too many instances of telling the reader/listener what the characters were feeling or doing - instead of showing - especially where an action or the intent to it was already stated in a dialogue. Disappointing to me was that I felt most if not all of the sex scenes rushed, almost an afterthought in some cases, and even clinical. Certain expressions were repeated throughout the book in a way that started to annoy me. The way the club and any references to BDSM were written gave me the impression the author took more creative liberties than used actual research as the basis. It may well be my experience only. I'm not in the scene either, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt. As the relationship between the protagonists developed further I would've liked there to be a shift of some kind in showing the emotions also during their coupling as the men grew closer. You may well enjoy this audiobook despite of what I found problematic, so give it a try.
