Review of advance copy received from Author
After Break the Chute I really hoped Drew and Luca would be confirmed as an item, and here we are with their very own story.
Luca is as always so much fun, and I loved finding out more about Drew.
Drew's dad ... Well if I could reach through the pages and throttle a fictional character I absolutely would when it comes to him. He's an awful human being and I do love to hate him completely and utterly.
We also get to see lots more of Emersyn and Oakes and remember just how much we love them, and the smile on my face when a certain Hartwell couple made a small cameo, honestly I couldn't love these characters more if I tried.
The way this all came together at the end was perfect and I am so excited that Stefanie is turning this into another series. I cannot get enough of her writing.

Happy Surprise Release Day!

Luca and Drew first met parent trapping their friends to get back together, but it was almost impossible for Luca to not crush on the handsome manager. What starts out as friendship turns into something more, and turns Drew's whole world upside down.

This novella sure does pack a punch! I normally don’t love short stories, but this book avoids all of my usual complaints. Even though it's short, just over 200 pages, these characters have really been flushed out! I was really able to get invested, because it felt like I really knew these characters by the end! I loved watching Drew’s journey, and loved how patient Luca is with him. If you're looking for a quick and spicy read, you should definitely give this one a go!

This amazing novella was the story I’ve been hoping for! I’ve wanted Drew and Luca’s story ever since I read ‘Break the Chute’, and it did not disappoint.
Luca is such a fun guy, and I loved seeing how supportive and patient he was with Drew. And Drew!.. Watching him find himself and grow into who he truly is was so inspiring. Also…I’d like to throttle his dad!
It was wonderful to see Emersyn and Oakes again, too! I absolutely loved getting this glimpse into Drew and Luca’s story and hope to see them all again in future books!
