Release Me
Fifteen Years…
For fifteen years, Cade Anderson, drummer for the world-famous rock band 7’s Mistress, has been in love with his best friend, the band’s lead singer. Even though it’s been years since they were lovers, Cade still wants the man. When his best friend falls in love with someone else, life as Cade knows it is over. The band breaks up and Cade has to figure out how to move on.
Ten Years…
For ten years, Mal Wilson has hidden who he really is from the small-minded people of Arlo, Kentucky. The family farm is dwindling down to nothing, and the bar he owns is draining him dry. When it looks like he’s going to lose both, Mal has to figure out where to go from here.
Three Months…
For three months, Cade has been drinking and f*cking his way across the country, trying to forget about his former friend and lover. When he finds himself at a redneck joint in the middle of nowhere, he is drawn to the handsome roughneck tending bar. Something in the man stirs Cade for the first time in years.
One Night…
When Mal ends up in a hotel room with the handsome blond man who sat in his bar for hours, the man asks for one night together. When Mal wakes up, he knows that one night will never be enough, but it has to be.
Two men…
One musician, rich and famous, out and proud of his sexuality. One cowboy, poor as the dirt under his boots, hiding who he is from the world. It’ll never work. Or will it?

About the author
Faith Gibson
51 books576 followersFaith Gibson's love of books started early on. So much so that she decided to write her own stories. When a college professor told her she had a gift, she took him at his word and put pen to paper (because back then, there were no computers. Shh, we don't mention her age.)
Her love of all things paranormal mixed with crazy dreams led to her first series, The Stone Society, about Gargoyle shifters in search of their mates while protecting humanity from unhinged beasts known as The Unholy. The Hounds of Zeus MC series was born from one of their own being a mate of a Gargoyle. The Rebel Moon Shifters are the next generation, all the kids from the first two series.
Faith also abbles in MM worlds and contemporary suspense, but her first and forever love is fantasy.
When Faith isn’t hard at work on her next story, she can be found reading, cooking, playing in the dirt (planting stuff) or playing with her staffy pup, all while listening to hard rock music.

Wow......Loved it !! 5 "opposites attract" stars from me :)
I've read book 1 a while ago, so I already know who Cade was. He was quite the asshole in book 1, but what can I say.....I love redeemable assholes !! For those book who haven't read 1, this can be read as a stand alone. I enjoyed reading the first book though, just not as much as I did this one !
Cade has been the drummer for 7's Mistress for 15 years. He has also been in love with his best friend, the lead singer, for just as long. They had a sort of friends with benefits relationship together, eventhough for Cade, it was much more than that. Now his friend has found true love and Cade being a dick about it has pushed them apart (book 1). The band has broken up and Cade is looking for a new band to take him in. Shouldn't be hard since he's a worldfamous drummer. But before auditioning for other bands, he decides to throw himself a little pity party and ends up drunk in some bar in Nashville.
Cade has always been bi, with a preference for men, and has never hidden who he is for anyone. Cade is also stinking rich. Not only because he's famous, but because he comes from money. It's in this Nashville bar he meets a hot bartender who will change his life.
Mal is cowboy/bartender in Nashville. He has had a very hard time growing up and when his father found out he was gay, at 16....shit really hit the fan. Mal has been taking care of his mother, their farm and bar ever since. But the bills are piling up and Mal knows he's going to lose the land that has been in his mothers family for ages. Mal just doesn't know what to do anymore. He feels like a failure... Mal has always been gay, but after his father found out, he retreated into the closet and rarely goes to a gayclub out of town, to get off. Coming out is not on his agenda...not in the town he lives in. Then one night, a gorgeous man walks into his bar, who will turn his whole world upside down.
I really enjoyed these two men together. They were both from such different worlds. The one thing they did have in common though, was that they were both alpha men...Which made for some very hot and steamy scenes !!!
I also loved how Cade wanted to shelter and protect Mal and give him the world.....he just went about it the wrong way.
I really enjoyed this one and I hope there will be a next book. I would love to read about Andy and Bryan !! the only complaint I do have about this book, is that I got irritated by how many times Tag (book 1) was mentioned. I liked his book, but to me, he wasn't all that special, I liked Cade much more !!

Rockstar Cade
Cowboy Mal
This had me rolling my eyes a bit in the beginning but it turned out fine. I was glad I didn't read the first installment cause Cade would've driven me crazy with his "Tag-this-Tag-that". Far too much comparisons with Cade's first love Tag for my taste!!
I liked Cade's protectiveness. Although he had grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth, he wasn't an ass about it. He just liked to use his money to take care of his people. Mal had grown up quite differently. His father "caught" him when he was sixteen and his father "didn't take it very well". Ever since Mal has done everything in his power to take care of his mother, his family's farm and the bar. But he's at his end's rope.
He meets Cade at his bar and they have a night together. Despite their differences they have a lot in common and when Cade learns about the trouble Mal is in, he steps in to help. Without Mal's knowing...
My heart went out to Cade when shit hit the fan.. I loved his messages to Mal. And his song..
Your wild horse couldn't drag me away
Your silence did the deed instead
Release me, untangle me from the noose
Release me, come on Cowboy, turn me loose
I hope the next will be about Andy and Bryan.

Okay........I made it all the way through. I didn't DNF.
And I suspect it's a case of it's me and not the book. We all have our tastes, right? The type of writing and stories that we flock to and those we just stay the hell away from.
Me? My tastes are simple tales of everyday people where authors really spend time on character building and relationship building. There needs to be some angst, and there needs to be a HEA. And, above all, there needs to be REALISM in my romance. That's the good stuff that I gravitate to, with little exception.
What doesn't work for me is contrived drama. What doesn't work for me is soap opera bullshit. What doesn't work for me is cheese, cheese, and more cheese. And what doesn't work for me is too much sex when it seems like a filler for the actual relationship-building that the author should be doing instead. Gasp! Now wait - I am a perv and I want my smexy times aplenty - don't get me wrong. But not when the author can't be taxed to tell the damn story and build the damn relationship. And, so help me God, if I read the word "pucker" one more time, I was going to vomit.
But I digress. This story had way too much unrealism for me. And way too much cheese. And way too much contrived, soap opera-esque drama. This book reminds me a lot of those that I've read in the past by Kindle Alexander and Felice Stephens. So if you like those authors, I would recommend this to you and your tastes. You will love the hell out of this.
For me and my GR friends whose tastes that I know well, stay far, far away. You will thank me.

* 4,5 stars*
Not a secret that I love fairy tales in my books.I found out that this series is a modern fairy tales, you know, cheesy, eye rolling romantic, stubborn MC, and I enjoyed it. And a definite HEA added to that, I'm a happy girl.
I never hated Cade in Tag's story, I dunno, I think Tag was a little douche let him hanging in the past. Of course he said no to Cade million times, but clingy Cade need a strong hand to make him go and forget his love for Tag. And Tag was just like let him love him, until he met Erik.
I know Cade is a clingy lover, but he's determined with his love when he love someone. That's what I like about him.
And speaking about Mel, well, I think there were some points that I really wanted to slap him for his stubborn head.
And I loved the dirty talk during sex between them. The sex alone, yeah,kinda made me wanna.(wink).
The 'drama' was not as spectacular as Tag and Erik's story, but that's also a relieved for me to know that nobody's dead this time. LOL.
The problem with Dwight was too easy to resolved I guess, that bastard need a hard lessons instead of let him free with Cade's money.
Maybe that's why Mal felt uneasy, Cade's always resolved everything with his money.
But again, he never been poor since he was in his mother's womb, so...
I liked the epilogue.. Not too cheesy like Tag's, but a true HEA. I approved.
I just hope there would be book #3. I will definitely read that.
And thanks Mikky for the rec!

I wasn't aware this was the second part of the series when I started this book, I think it can be read as a standalone, but I won't go back to book 1 because a lot was given away in this installment.
Ah, this was a wonderful book. Two very different men fall in love. Rockstar Cade is looking for a new band after his former band split up and cowboy, farmer and barkeeper Mal is fighting against old demons and new problems as the farm he lives with his (nearly) blind mother is in financial trouble.
What was supoosed to be a one-night-thing turns into more because none of them can let go.
I really loved both heroes and also the little side love story (which had me teary at some points) the mother of Mal is encountering.
The love story was really beautiful and I was really emotionally involved in the ups and downs of their story.
I really enjoyed this book a lot, the sexy bits were sexy and the drama not too bad or ridiculous.

You know when you finish a book and you just sit for a few minutes thinking, “Wow, that was a truly satisfying read!”? That was me when I finished Release Me. This was an all-around wonderful story with characters I loved, a well thought out and executed plot, a perfect blend of emotion, drama and heat…and an ending that put a huge smile on my face (even if the epilogue was a little sappy-it still had me grinning!). And even though there’s apparently some backstory to be found in the author’s book Deliver Me, Release Me can be read as a standalone—I haven’t read the other story and enjoyed this one just fine on its own…but you can be darn sure I’ve added Deliver Me to my TBR because if it’s as good as Release Me, I already know I’ll enjoy that one too.
Oh, how I loved these characters. They’re opposites in so many ways, but still fit together like they’re made for each other. Both have alpha characteristics, while also having their own vulnerabilities that leave them each open to heartache. Cade thought he’d lost his love when his best friend and sometime lover Tag found someone else, and even though I gathered from the circumstances as Cade revealed them that he was a bit of an ass when all that happened, you could clearly see he was hurting. Mal never really has any time to find someone of his own due to his responsibilities with his farm, bar and taking care of his mother. The odds seem like they are against Mal and Cade coming together right from the start.
The story progresses at a nice, natural pace with the relationship between Mal and Cade developing over time until it becoming like a fierce blaze between them. But there’s a secret that Cade hides from Mal, and we all know how secrets go…even when the best of intentions are behind them. Between the buildup, the time the two spend apart due to Cade being away working with a band, exposure of Cade’s secret, and the resolution of everything, there’s plenty of emotion and tension which kept me furiously flipping the pages trying to find out how everything turns out.
I also want to mention the great supporting characters. They are all solid, well developed and do a great job of adding depth to the story. I’m hoping we’ll get to hear more about some of them (like Andy and Bryan) in a future book.
I really loved this story, and give it 4.5 stars, and for me, Release Me is definite re-read material. I highly recommend this to M/M romance fans 18+ (for adult language and some hot and steamy M/M sexual content)…if this isn’t on your wish/TBR list already, it really needs to be!

I haven't read the first book in this series but I didn't have any troubles with the mentioned previous storyline and it can be perfectly read as a standalone.
I enjoyed this book a lot!!
There are many things which might have bothered me in other books but the couple is just great so that I could ignore some flaws.
I really liked the contrast between the couple: rich rockstar vs. poor farmer boy. Despite the differenced they have a lot in common and enjoyed both being grown men with both feet down and knowing what they want in life.
The couple was working really well together and I found their chemistry very enthralling.
I was glad that the book worked without too much drama and most of the times the characters behaved like adults. The side characters were really great too, especially Walt and Mal's mom.

Faith does it again
For those of you who were floored by Deliver Me, the first book in the series, rest assure you will NOT be disappointed by Release Me. Cade Anderson was the drummer for 7's Mistress (coolest band name ever) who managed to make a complete mess of his life by the end of book one. I always felt that he needed a chance to redeem himself—well, he got it!
Just so you know right up front, the former band members play no part in Release Me. I thought I'd miss Tag and company, but honestly, Cade's story had so much to offer that it wouldn't have been fair to share him.
Floundering and unsure of what to do with his future, Cade winds up in Nashville, auditioning for a couple of bands looking for a new drummer. Not even realizing that he's in Kentucky, he winds up in a bar drinking away his sorrows of what has become his pitiful life. He also can't take his eyes off the bartender. Keep in mind, this story takes place in a rural, honky tonk, bible-thumping, little old town where homosexual behavior is not tolerated and could cost anyone their life. I can't stress how lost and alone this big, gorgeous rock star is. My heart was aching for Cade. There was so much to learn about him—the more I did, I fell completely in love with him.
Mal, the handsome bartender and target of Cade's desire, wound up saving Cade's butt after the bar closed and he was harassed by two local troublemakers. Mal invited him home as he was too drunk to drive—you know, a good guy showing him some Southern hospitality.
So now we have a story about the rock star and the cowboy.
Cade and Mal are so completely opposite: wealthy California rocker meets poor, cattle rancher who's on the verge of losing his farm, his bar, all that defines his life. Mal's story broke my heart—he is lost as well.
Despite some of their differences, these two are extremely compatible physically and sexually. (Uh yeah, smokin hot really!). They enjoy one another's company immensely—Mal's mom treats Cade as her own. But why doesn't something seem right? There's just so much at stake for both men, but especially for Mal. Cade's money is the bane of Mal's being. Sometimes the best of intentions are the hardest to accept when pride stands in the way. If I had to choose the perfect scenario for Cade to reinvent himself and to show what a giving, beautiful person he is on the inside, this would have been it. The way Mal handled Cade's generosity irked me. Yes, he did take care of Mal's financial needs behind his back; it was done solely out of love and he never flaunted his money or behaved with an entitled attitude. Without going into any more detail of the story itself (I don't want to give it all away) I felt content that in the end, they wound up where they were supposed to be, and the epilogue was fun and sweet as well.
I loved all the supporting characters—each one of them enriched this book with their own poignant stories. Faith Gibson is one of the best storytellers out there. Her books 'show' her readers what exactly is happening because of her painstaking attention to detail. Punctuation, grammar, and sentence structure were also spot on. Her chapters flowed with ease from one to the other so well that, at times, I didn't even realize I was in the middle of the next one. Another fabulous job by Faith Gibson. So happy Cade told us his story. Five drum-beatin' stars for me.

First of all I loved this story. I read the first book Deliver Me and enjoyed that one but this one had more for me. Loved Cade in the first book and my heart broke for him when Tag found someone new and fell in love. Cade felt more for Tag than he felt for him and I was hoping he would get a HEA. This book picks up about 3 months after the band breaks up and Cade went out to take his mind off Tag and winds up in Mal's bar. The sparks fly from there and the chemistry between this 2 are off the charts. They get together but poor Mal has hard a hard life and cant be happy for himself. I don't want to give anything away so I will just say things happy an they break up even after the I love you's are said. It has drama and great love scenes. The supporting character are written so well into the story that I feel it wouldn't have been the same without them especially Mal's mom. You will root for these 2 from the beginning and hope they can work out their problems. Of course we get the HEA and I couldn't put this book down until I finished. I am now a big fan of Faith's and will definitely one click her books from now on..Congrats!!!. I received an ARC for a review and reviewed for Alpha Book Club....

3.5 Stars!!
This was a lovely story about two completely opposite people meeting and falling in love.
It was fluffier than I expected and for a rock star, Cade was exceptionally thoughtful,caring and dedicated to his man .Now I didn't read book 1 where apparently Cade acted like a right bastard but the Cade I met in this book was wonderful and seemed to be repentant enough of his previous actions.
I loved the struggling,troubled, closeted cowboy Mal initially but he nearly lost me by the way he over reacted when things turned out the way they did. It did help that he realized that he was being a selfish, childish ass and set out to make amends.
Cade wrote a song when they had issues and the abundance of feels I got from the lyrics were just... Sigh. My God. All the feels had me tearing up, they didn't fall, but the words were powerful.
I need to mention that there was quite a lot of sexy times & that this book was HOT. These smoking hot men were versatile and Lord knows I love me some versatile Menz. ;) *fans self vigorously*
VERS MEN FTW!!
Okay I'm done now. *walks off stage*

This book was a bit of a rating rollercoaster for me. I began liking it very much; until it became too sappy and predictable. I hate that about a story so my rating quickly dropped to a 2 star. Then, out of the blue, the story became angsty and emotional and it captured my interest again. So, my rating increased with it to a 4. Unfortunately, in the end, it once again became too sappy and predictable so I had to take away another star; which leaves this at mediocre for me.
The MC's are likable and their love story is sweet. A lot of things could have made their journey more realistic and enjoyable for me. It's not realistic to me for life to always take the easy way and when stories do this, a lot of my interest wanes. So, I suppose it all depends on what you're looking for in your story. The writing is good but I'm not a rainbows and unicorns kind of reader. I like stories to surprise me with the unexpected and I love angst and deep emotion. This is a bit too fluffy for my taste. If you prefer the other end of the spectrum, this would more than likely be just what you're looking for.
Happy reading all!

Cade was a dick in the 1st book but this book shows him in a whole different light. Malcolm is such a strong man to have survived all his torments. This story will make you laugh, cry, cuss and every other emotion that you can feel as them 2 men find their way.

Release Me, Book 2 from 7's Mistress Deliver Me start of The Music Within series by Faith Gibson is a can’t but down read. Release Me can be read as a standalone but you understand more of the angst and character bonds if you read Deliver Me first. I was given this for a fair review.
Kincade “Cade” Anderson was the drummer and trouble maker in the rock band 7’s Mistress. 7’s Mistress is no more; Cade lost his friends and his way.
Malcolm “Mal” Wilson is dirt poor bar owner and farmer in the closet so deep due to nearly being killed for his choices. He saves this drunken stranger at his bar one night. Neither is sure they want to share their secrets, but life can bring the unexpected just when you need it.
Cade explains to Mal-- “I remember being sixteen. I thought I was grown back then, too. Now I know I wasn’t. I’m still learning shit about life, about me. Everyday I learn something new, and I know I have a lot more to learn.”
Release Me is a journey of discovery for two men who just happen to cross paths, as it turns out, at the perfect time. The twist and angst in Release Me are wonderfully written; from the two very different life choices and experiences of the main characters and secondary character’s too. Again the secondary Characters are great and fun to get to know. I did not think it was possible to like Cade’s story after his high jinxes and trouble making in Deliver Me, but boy has Faith Gibson made a Cade fan out of me. I have a major Release Me book hangover and can not wait for the next story in this wonderful series.
Thanks Faith Gibson & Good Writing

This is book 2 in the Music Within Me Series and I’ve got to say I love this book. Faith Gibson’s writing and story telling only gets better with each book.
When we left Cade in Deliver Me he seemed broken and unredeemable. In Release Me, we learn that is far from the truth.
Cades story begins three months after the break up of the Band 7’s Mistress and Cade finds himself a drummer without a band. On a chance trip to a honky-tonk in BFE, Kentucky — Cade meets the sexy bar keeper Mal.
Mal has no idea the man he’s been serving drinks to all night is a world famous (even infamous) drummer. He simply sees a man in need of kindness.
As the story unfolds Cade learns of the trials Mal and his family have faced and realizes this is a man worth knowing. He uses every tool on his kit to give Mal a helping hand, from behind the scenes. When the two become more than friends the fear of Cades anonymous generosity lingers.
In the end will their attraction for one another surpass their differences? Does Mal learn to accept Cades deception? Can Cade allow himself the future he wants with Mal? These are all questions to be answered within the pages of this stellar read.
Once again, Author Faith Gibson delivers a love story that transcends labels. The theory Love Is Love exists in this book. Every emotion was extracted from me as I turned page to page and chapter to chapter. I defy anyone to not shed a tear, get tingly, yell at the pages or grab a fan to cool off as you read this tale of love with no end.
I happily give this 5 Stars and urge all lovers of romance and good writing to one-click Release Me today.

Release Me is book 2 in The Music Within series, however I haven't read the first book in the series, so it most def can be read as a standalone as I don't feel like I missed anything by not reading it.
This was my first book by Faith, and I really enjoyed her writing style. The story line and character development was thoroughly thought out and came together well in the end.
Cade and Mal's journey to HEA wasn't pretty yet was so beautiful at the same time. They were both such very different people, Cade being a drummer to a popular rock band and Mal being your typical rancher cowboy, it was only suppose to be one night yet is one night ever really enough?
I was hooked from the get go and really enjoyed reading all about their past stories, especially with the suspense factor featuring in with Mal. All the secondary characters have worked their way in to my hearts and I am intrigued to see whether this series carries on based around some guys at the ranch.
A few things stood out to me on more of the negative side.. one being how Mal acted once finding the truth about Cade - it seemed totally diva-ish and not really necessary, and the other thing was how quickly Mal's problem with his father disappeared considering he was an underlining factor to the story line throughout... a little more drama surrounding him and this story would of been most def catapulted more to the 5 star rating.

Faith is an amazing author!!! This is not the first book I've read by this author and certainly will not be the last. I absolutely love her writing, she takes you through the full range of emotions with her writing.
Kincade "Cade" Anderson's life was falling apart all around him... The band he was in, 7's Mistress, broke apart and the "love" of Cade's life married another man. For three months he was constantly drunk trying to forget about Tag and Eric. Then a sexy as sin cowboy took home to sleep off his drunk. Cade didn't know if Malcolm "Mal" Wilson was into men but he didn't care because if not he just wanted Mal as a friend. Come to find out living in a small town Arlo, Kentucky, in the middle of the Bible Belt, where everybody in town was homophobic Mal was still in the closet. Everything is unraveling for Mal- he's about to lose everything he's worked so hard for. After their one night together everything changes for the sexy cowboy and the badass rockstar. Coming from two completely different worlds, Cade born with a silver spoon in his mouth and Mal being born dirt poor, will they ever overcome their obstacles standing in the way of love?
Great continuation of Deliver Me. Can't wait for this series to continue. I would highly recommend this book!!!

Release Me by Faith Gibson
Sometimes when you read a book and it's so excellent that you can't put it down and when you're finished with the book you have a hole in your heart because you'll miss the characters in the book - well that's how I felt while reading and when I finished Release Me by Faith Gibson.
This is the first time I've ever read anything by Faith Gibson but it certainly won't be the last time.
The story which is a m/m romance is about hot as sin and sweet as candy rock star drummer Cade and the sexy but scarred and damaged Mal finding each other by chance and learning to trust and love each other. This book is seriously hot and filled with sexy rock stars, hot cowboys and even some sweet ex marines. The book just flowed and both lead characters were really good guys that I fell for instantly. It's very well written and I'm left hoping for a sequel because so many of the supporting characters deserve their stories told as well and yes I wouldn't mind a little more Cade and Mal sexiness ;-)
This is a 5+ star read and I'll be recommending this book to all that love m/m romance <3
I received an ARC in return for an honest review:-)

Release Me is a m/m romance and I loved this book. Faith Gibson knows how to write a book that just drags you into the story and you just know that you have to finish reading this book before you can get anything done. At least that is what this book did to me! Forget housework, forget errands, just forget so you can read this book.
This is Cade Anderson and Mal (Malcolm) Wilson’s story. I will let you read the synopsis that Faith Gibson wrote.
We first learned a little bit about Cade Anderson in Deliver Me. Cade is the “Rockstar” and Mal is the “Cowboy” my oh my! This book made me want to run up to Mal and yell at him to get his head out of the sand that Cade was only trying to do the right thing! I loved this book and I hope there will be another one in this series.
I received a complimentary copy of Release Me for an honest review but, I will be buying this book as I do with all of Faith Gibson’s books. I love this author and the way she writes. I give Release Me 5 STARS

*ARC for honest Review*
Ahhhh what can I say. I loved this book. I didn't know if I would be able to read about Cade after what happened with Tag but I could not stop reading. I did get sad about Malcom's past story. Love is love and it shouldn't matter what sex the other person is.
Three months after Mistress7 splits up Cade is looking for another band to play with. In music city, Tennessee, Cade meets Mal at a bar. Too drunk to dive to the hotel, Mal offers to bring him home for the night. Mal a hard worker with a caring heart. Trying to keep his bar afloat and work his land, Mal is at his final point. Cade who has never felt an intense attraction to anyone beside Tag is confused about Mal. Something about this cowboy makes him want more. Doing his best to convince Mal to give them a try Cade is hiding something from him. Mal who's always had to earn what he has is now with someone who has money at his disposal and he know how to handle it. Will Mal accept Cade and all that comes with him? Or will the secret Cade is hiding be the breaking point?

Despite it's mouth watering cover this book at times made me feel like a traveler in the desert.And like the desert, it was hot in parts but extremely dry in other areas.I could not wait for the journey to end so that I could get a drink of water!Maybe tighter editing would have made it more appealing as some chapters were totally unnecessary.
Cade the musician had to have had the patience of a saint to put up with the stubbornness that Malcolm his cowboy exhibited at times.Despite it's rock & roll theme the book had a wholesomeness rarely seen outside of the set of 'The Walton's or 'Little House on the Prairie'.There is no cheating.

Recensione a cura di Leyla per Feel the Book
“Release me” è il secondo libro della serie “The music within” di Faith Gibson e racconta la storia di Cade Anderson, che nel primo romanzo della serie non è proprio un personaggio che si possa amare, ma avevo capito fin da subito che mi avrebbe dato grandi soddisfazioni in seguito.
Cade è stato innamorato del suo migliore amico per quindici anni, o forse era solo convinto di esserlo. Quando Taggart Lee incontra l’uomo con cui vuole condividere la sua vita, lascia la band e si allontana definitivamente da lui, quindi Cade si ritrova a dover fare i conti con la realtà: tutto ciò che amava e per cui viveva non esiste più.
Cade impiega qualche mese per rendersi conto di dover chiudere con il passato e decidere che deve andare avanti con la sua vita. Quando conosce Malcom, capisce che è arrivato il momento di mettere da parte i rimpianti e di iniziare a guardare veramente verso il futuro.
Mal è completamente estraneo al suo mondo, è un cowboy senza un soldo e con un trauma nel suo passato che gli impedisce di vivere la sua vita come vorrebbe.
Per Cade è amore a prima vista e non si risparmia per poter conquistare il ragazzo di cui non riesce più a fare a meno, ma Mal, pur essendo attratto da lui, ha troppa paura e troppi problemi per lasciarsi andare senza pensare al futuro.
Conoscere veramente Cade e Mal è stato un viaggio lungo e complicato nel profondo delle loro anime. Pagina dopo pagina scopriamo quanto sia diverso Cade dal ragazzo superficiale che abbiamo conosciuto nel primo libro, ulteriore dimostrazione che non bisogna mai fermarsi alle apparenze e che bisogna sempre cercare di capire il perché delle azioni di una persona.
Mal invece è un libro aperto fin da subito, è esattamente ciò che sembra: un ragazzo dolce e sincero, traumatizzato dal suo passato e timoroso di lasciarsi andare completamente. È anche orgoglioso e convinto di non dover accettare l’aiuto di nessuno, e ovviamente questo causerà diversi problemi quando Mal scoprirà fino a che punto si è spinto Cade per aiutarlo.
Entrambi i protagonisti mi hanno affascinato e coinvolto, ma anche i personaggi secondari sono veramente interessanti e ben caratterizzati.
La traduzione è ottima e la cover è una delle più belle che ho visto negli ultimi tempi, veramente spettacolare.
Una bella storia d’amore, dolce e romantica, forse la trama è un po’ scontata in alcuni passaggi, ma è assolutamente un romanzo da leggere.

Cosa accade quando tutto quello per cui si è vissuto porta a una svolta e si è impreparati ad accettare?
Cade, dopo aver lasciato i suoi amici Pauly e Sloane nonché Tag di cui era innamorato e che costui abbia trovato il suo grande amore tra le braccia di Erik, e dopo essersi comportato in modo puerile, non gli resta che congedarsi e fare ammenda di tutto.
Cercando di annegare il dolore tra sesso occasionale e alcool, una sera si ritrova in un bar e quando ubriaco all' uscita viene sorpreso da due ladruncoli, il barista lo soccorre.
Cosa succederà tra i due?
Beh, è una storia improntata su due spaccati di una società; Cade ha tutto, una bellezza mozzafiato per donne e uomini che posano lo sguardo sul suo fisico aitante e soldi, l' unica pecca a sua discolpa non avere il calore di 'casa'.
Malcolm Wilson è un ragazzo che ancora vive con sua madre ed è indebitato fino al collo, pur di salvare il salvabile, è bello e sensibile ma vivendo tra il bigottismo e non potendo vivere per amare un uomo senza ritorsioni costretto a vivere il grigiore.
Recensire questo romanzo non è facile senza denunciarne il suo contenuto, è un tripudio di emozioni vivibili sulla pelle del lettore, in una scrittura fluente la scrittrice mostra tutte le "necessitudini" di cui è composta la società e i comportamenti umani, un eros non volgare nelle scene di sesso.
Può il danaro comprare l'amore? NO.
Ma, per amore e essere riamati, il danaro acquista valore, basta lasciare in disparte l' orgoglio e lasciarsi amare quando sai che quello è l' AMORE del tuo per sempre?
Beh, arrivare fin qui e senza spoiler vi invito a leggerlo non prima di aver letto Deliver Me, che lo ha preceduto.

This book could’ve been so good, but half the time I just wanted it to get it over with and be over. Like I those 300 pages just stretched on and on.
Both MCs aren’t bad, but also not that remarkable. The writing is good. The plot is decent i guess. I just didn’t feel this book at all.
The conflict pissed me off. Even though Mal had absolutely all the reasons in the world to be pissed, somehow he ended up forgiving Cade and make it out to be that his pride is the thing that made him stubborn.
Ugh this review is halfassed, but yeah I just can’t bother anymore. This book was not my cup of tea.
