This second in the series starts with a bang and never lets up! We get to relive their first few meetings from Darren's POV, and HOO BOY! If y'all thought Miles was a disaster queer, wait till you get a load of this Dom! This book is one hot encounter after another, and it all ties together (pun intended) in such a genuinely heartfelt and heartwarming way. Looking forward to watching their situationship develop into a relationship in the next installment!
