While his Bff Easton ran into the sunset with the love of his life Lachlan. He was the scorned best friend who was left on the sidelines. After reading Clashing hearts and getting to know Knox a bit. It's low angst, it's sweet, but it really does an appeal on your patience.Ī 3 star read, added a half star because of the second half of the book, and then rounded up to 4 because it's Nicky James.įirst of all I need to say, how much I am loving this series! The small town of Jasper is just delightful. This book is a nice addition to the Hometown Jasper series. It felt honest and true and I have to admit the second half of the book kept my attention a lot easier than the first part. I admired his patience! He must have had a lot of confidence in Knox, because at the pace Knox was trying to unravel his feelings, it could have taken him years to come clean with it.īut seeing their friendship develop was a nice thing to witness. He gave Knox all the time he needed to discover he was attracted to men, and at some point, attracted to Lucky. He saw right through Knox's heartbreak and he felt for the guy, slowly tried to make him talk and develop a friendship based on trust and respect. Lucky always sensed there was more to Knox than he wanted people to see. A caring, hardworking man, who was just too insecure about all his shortcomings and his appearance, therefore not very experienced when it came down to sex, or women in general. To accept the fact that he was, maybe, bisexual. To come clean with the fact that his feelings towards Easton were more than just friendship. Heartbroken, though it took more than half the book for him to admit that. This book is about Knox, Easton's best friend, but one who started acting kind of weird around him since he met Lachlan and fell in love.
Lost interest, that is.īut since we're talking about a Nicky James book here, the writing is flawless, as always, and that made me round up to 4, but this book definitely wasn't as good as the first one in these series, which I had no problem giving it all the 5 stars it deserved, because that one got me invested from the first page to the last, which, unfortunately, did not happen with this second book.
Maybe if it weren't for Lucky and his almost in-humanly patience, I would have. He was sweet and all, but his denial took a bit too long. For a long time he annoyed me to bits, specially in the first part of the book.
There were times I didn't know if I wanted to slap Knox in the face or hug him. 3,5 stars, rounded up because it’s Nicky James.
