*** 3 Stars***
I’m thinking that this book gave me a case of the “it’s not you, it’s me” syndrome because while I really liked the premise, I just couldn’t become fully invested in the story and found that it dragged for me. I loved Rhys, which didn’t surprise me since I loved him in Riven (Book #1), but Matt...it’s not that I didn’t like him, it’s more that while I could empathize with the man, I just couldn’t connect with him and his insecurities/anxieties ~ especially considering the kind of man Rhys was and how long they’d been together. I did like that all that he was going through was addressed and that they both got on board with working through it all, but it couldn’t hold my interest.
I wish I had liked this book more than I did and that I had connected deeper than I did with Rhys and Matt, but it just wasn’t in the cards. But I will say that I loved catching up with Caleb and Theo and seeing where they were at in their relationship.

After a whirlwind romance, a man with a painful past learns to trust the musician who makes him believe in happy endings.
Matt Argento knows what it feels like to be alone. After a childhood of abandonment, he never imagined someone might love him—much less someone like Rhys Nyland, who has the voice of an angel, the looks of a god, and the worship of his fans.
Matt and Rhys come from different worlds, but when they meet, their chemistry is incendiary. Their romance is unexpected, intense, and forever—at least, that’s what their vows promise. Suddenly, Matt finds himself living a life he never thought possible: safe and secure in the arms of a man who feels like home. But when Rhys leaves to go on tour for his new album, Matt finds himself haunted by the ghosts of his past.
When Rhys returns, he finds Matt twisted by doubt. But Rhys loves Matt fiercely, and he’ll go to hell and back to triumph over Matt’s fears. After secrets are revealed and desires are confessed, Rhys and Matt must learn to trust each other if they’re going to make it. That means they have to fall in love all over again—and this time, it really will be forever.
