    Sometimes, love is right next door.

    All twenty-seven-year-old Travis Schultz is supposed to carry out is keep an eye on the kid next door for a few weeks while his parents are out of town. Eighteen-year-old Owen Wheeler has other plans. Newly graduated, with plans to enlist in the Army, Owen wants to get laid before he ships out and he's had a crush on Travis for years.

    The age difference and the responsibility he's been entrusted with make Travis hesitant, but the attraction is too much to deny. When the casual one-night stand turns into something more, Travis has no idea how to tell Owen how he feels. He misses his opportunity before Owen leaves and is left at abode with a broken heart when Owen cuts off all contact.

    When they meet again years later, Owen is in the midst of recovery from being injured in the line of duty and Travis will have to decide if he can absolve Owen and try again.

      Fantastic book co-starring one of my favorite doggy characters. It started with a bang - or should I say boom - and kept me hooked from beginning to end. Tate has just arrived in town, fresh out of four months in the hospital recovering from injuries received from an IED. He hopes for some peace of mind, moving into the house that his beloved grandfather left to him. Instead, during his first night in the house, he was awakened by an explosion that could have killed him and brought the unexpected into his life.

      I loved the vivid pictures and impressions of those first few hours. I could see Tate standing there in his skivvies, staring in stunned disbelief while suffering from the effects of the explosion. The sudden appearance of his neighbor, who tries to talk to him, but he can't hear her. I could feel Lacy's concern for the man she's heard so much about.

      I loved both Tate and Lacy. Lacy is strong, independent, and has a huge heart. She was good friends with Tate's grandfather and had heard countless s
