About the author
Megs Pritchard
97 books144 followersWhat can I say about me? I have two boys who keep me on my toes and a cat who adopted us. She walked in one day and hasn’t left. We might be getting a dog too. Who knows?
I love to read about men in love. Flawed, but strong men, who need some TLC and find their happy ending. I love to write about those same type of men too, sometimes with added kink! I also love to read horrors, thrillers and crime novels.
When I’m not trying to keep my boys in line, or writing about hot sexy men, I like to work on my allotment. I also like to read, to take walks in the countryside, and visit historical places. Recently, we went to Stonehenge and Avebury. It was an amazing experience.

**ARC RECEIVED FOR HONEST REVIEW**
We met Ben & Geoff in book one of this series so know a bit about them, what we don't know is WHY Ben was living on the streets as well the fact that Geoff is gay.
In this we find out about Ben's past as well as see how he's coping with the death of Adam. We also find out how things with Tom and Seb are going and catch up with Luke & Matt too.
This story I feel was a slightly harder read than the first book due to what Ben went through as a child. I thought it was really good how the relationship between Geoff and Ben was a slow build up as I fell if it'd happened too fast, considering what Ben's past was like as well as what he did whilst living on the streets, it would've been too unrealistic.
I love how patient and understanding Geoff was with Ben and the twist that was added I thought that was fantastic!
Overall another absolutely AMAZING read and again I can't wait for the next book in this series!!

Second book in the series, and the drama an excellent portrayal of just how life an go so very wrong.
Once again the author pulls no punches in her approach and dealing with the subject matters raised in the series.
Ben and Geoff have a mountain to climb in order to get over the issues and exorcise the demons who are haunting Ben even in his waking hours. The heart wrenching pain he feels that he couldn't save his friend, and the guilt that he feels that he is alive and out of the hell they endured.
Geoff falls for the broken man who moves around his house like a ghost, he wants to help him heal, making him see that not everyone in the world is out to hurt and use him.
This book, just like the first drew me in and made my heart ache.
I am really, REALLY looking forward to more from this series and the author. AMAZING!

Ben and Geoff
2.5 stars.
What is with the use of the unnecessary Sat and Stood. In most cases they did not need to be used and/or the words around them should not be there if you are using the words Sat and Stood.

Sometime the past is your enemy
But when you have someone who helps fight the demons you can win. Its a hell of a fight but you have to stay strong liked the book few errors but doesn't ruin the story
