Tommy didn't think spending the night with a stranger would be complicated. Then he found out that stranger was his baby brother's best friend. His very sweet and sexy best friend. Tommy shouldn't want to keep seeing Edan, but he can't seem to stay away from him. Loving Edan is easy. Being honest with himself and everyone else about it is anything but.
Edan knows falling for his best friend's closeted brother is a bad idea. Yet that doesn't stop him from doing exactly that. But keeping their relationship a secret takes a toll on him and Tommy being deployed half the time doesn't help either. Seeing his best friend fall in love and make a home with his boyfriend makes him realize he wants more than Tommy can give him and it tears them apart.
Then Tommy retires from the Army and while Edan is unsure of Tommy's intentions, there's only one thing Tommy really wants: Edan. He just has to prove it to him. He gets a chance to do just that when he's invited to Edan's family ranch in Colorado and he won't let a little gunfire or a few angry cowboys get in his way. But is it enough to convince Edan he's all in this time?
Edan belongs to the Salvation Kings MC series, but the MCs are not from the motorcycle club. It can be read after Hawk, Salvation Kings MC book 3, though it is set after Juno, Salvation Kings MC book 5.

I’m a huge fan of the Salvation Kings MC series and I loved this addition. It’s sweet and fun and has some amazing chemistry between Tommy and Edan. I enjoyed their explosive first encounter and especially loved the aftermath when they find out just how their lives are connected through Elijah. Even if he wasn’t Tommy’s brother’s best friend, Edan has to contend with Tommy not being out and never knowing if he’ll get the ending he wants. I really felt for Edan; he’s such a sweetheart and is so head over heels for Tommy. We do eventually get Tommy realising how much he needs Edan in his life though. And when he finally fights for him the way Edan deserves? Loved it!

As a huge fan of the Salvation Kings series, I was beyond excited to read Edan. An impromptu hookup brings Edan face to face with the hottest guy he's ever seen. Little does he know that the next day when going to visit his best friend he runs into said hottie, none other than Elijah's older brother Tommy!Tommy is in the Army and even though he is attracted to Edan, things must stay on the down-low! An affair ensues but soon Tommy is deployed and Edan is left wondering when he will se Tommy again. Keeping this ftom Elijah is wrong but they both agreed to keep it quiet. This goes on for a few years until finally Edan has had enough of the secrecy and uncertainty and calls it quits. Tommy must decide, does he want to come clean, come out of the closet or lose Edan? This is a story of awakenings and realizing what is truly important! I loved Edan and Tommy!

This is a Salvation Kings short story about two men named Tommy and Edna. Though neither man is directly linked to the the Kings, Tommy is family because his baby brother Elijah and Hawk are together. So since is a member of the Kings, that makes Tommy family.
Tommy has never really pursued the part of him that likes men with being in the military and a leader at that, he has kept that part of himself buried but when he literally runs into a man named Edan that changes. He can no longer deny himself with the attraction they feel almost immediately. What is supposed to be a one night stand turns out to be so much more because neither man knew they had someone in common.
Turns out Edan is Elijah are not only friends but best friends and Tommy is Elijah’s brother. When these two men realize just how much in common they have, Tommy knows he cannot walk away and only claim what he felt for Edan as a one nights stand.
This will not be easy though because Edan cannot tell anyone, especially Elijah about him and Tommy. At first he is okay with keeping them quiet but a person can only handle so much and after a year or so of being together Edan can no longer handle the deployments and the secrets. So he ends things.
Now six months later, Tommy knows what he has to do. He is retiring and he will do whatever needs to be done to get his man back. Even going to a ranch in Colorado. What is supposed to be a vacation and about proving how he feels about Edan, well not everything goes according to plan. There is crazy family times, Ex boyfriends, a group of cowboy robbers, and shoot out. In the midst of all of this, will Tommy be able to prove to Edan he is the one he wants? How will Elijah react when he finds out about his brother and best friend?
This was another incredible read by Ana Night! I truly cannot wait to see what she has up her sleeve next! Love this series so much! Another highly recommended read!

This is a sweet, emotional and fun addition to the Salvation Kings MC series with great characters and an intriguing storyline. I love Edan and Tommy together as they have an amazing connection and smoking hot chemistry. They have an interesting first meeting and both of them are surprised when they find out that knowing Elijah ties them together. Edan is a sweetheart and I love how much he cares for his friends and family. Tommy is very protective of those he loves but his need for secrecy may be too difficult of an issue for them to overcome and he will have to decide if being with Edan means more to him then keeping their relationship hidden. Edan wants everything with Tommy but he also is unwilling to keep waiting for him with no end in site. The choices they make will have lasting consequences and will affect everyone around them. I love the secondary characters, the ending is perfect and I can't wait to see what happens next in this exciting series.

I actually did a re-read of 𝘏𝘢𝘸𝘬 before 𝘌𝘥𝘢𝘯 and nothing, and I really mean nothing, of how they acted around each other previously would have prepared me for them having a secret relationship. Color me surprised!
Well, this story just became my favorite of the whole series, even it's only loosely connected to the Salvation Kings MC. Although it's on shorter side, it exudes powerful emotions. Edan and Tommy's passion, their tenderness, need and love, everything they felt for each other was beautiful. It saddened me to see them hiding their amazing connection from the world and the hurt they caused themselves while doing so.
Their journey to happiness was a mixed bag of immense joy and misery. I honestly don't know how they managed to carry on for so many years, but I cheered loudly when the brought their love in the light of day, because feelings as wonderful as theirs deserved validation, complete honesty and to be lived to the fullest.

Ternyata sudah pernah baca buku-buku sebelumnya di seri ini tapi lupa. Haha
Untuk ku yang bukan fan dari 2nd chance romance, buku ini bagus. Secara pada saat mereka berdua sempat putus hubungan, tidak ada orang lain di antara mereka. Tommy sibuk dengan tugas militernya dan Edan itu terlalu sedih dan cinta kepada Tommy untuk membuka hati untuk orang lain.
Buku ini menceritakan bagaimana Tommy berusaha untuk memenangkan hati Edan kembali setelah dia pensiun dari militer. Di sini terungkap sisi kehidupan Edan dan bagaimana Edan akhirnya bisa membuka dirinya, mencurahkan hati, perasaan dan kepercayaannya 100% ke Tommy, akhirnya Edan berani melakukan apa yang dia tidak pernah lakukan selama ini karena setelah selama ini dia merasa insecure karena pernah di bully waktu kecil dan kejadian itu sangat spesial terlebih lagi Edan akhirnya terbiasa dengan hal itu dan melakukan hal tersebut pada saat mereka hanya berdua, so sweet!

This was a sweet story containing an age gap, secret romance and brother’s best friend trope. Edan and Tommy turned out to be such a sweet couple. The two meet unexpectedly and the attraction is instantaneous. There is a bit of relationship issue that tears the two apart but they have a wonderful reunion in which they reconnect. My favorite part of the story is in how Tommy handles Edan’s disability. This is the first book I’ve read in this series and it stands alone well. I will have to go back and read the other books because I enjoyed this one.

I have been eager to read Edan’s story since I first met him in Hawk’s book and this story definitely didn’t disappoint. Edan was head over heels for Tommy from the first minute they met but Tommy wasn’t ready for their relationship to be out in the open. The only problem? Tommy is the older brother of Edan’s best friend. I really felt for Edan being so far gone over Tommy but feeling so much guilt over keeping the relationship from his best friend. This story was very sweet and slightly angsty; the conflict towards the end added another level to the love story that I really enjoyed.

I think it's cute, it has military Brothers best friend, death representation, it even has a ranch mixed up in there, well I was upset at one of the main characters it's mostly because he need to get his crap straight let's be honest but I think it was a cute read and it wasn't a super long read so if you're looking for an mm that is short cute has some plot some spice, maybe something considered forbidden relationship since it was his brother's best friend then I would say go ahead and give this a grab up.

I loved this short addition to the A Salvation Kings series. Edan has a one-night stand with a hot guy and he didn't know it was his best friend's brother Tommy. Tommy is in the military and can't come out yet. They started a relationship but Edan didn't want to keep being Tommy's secret. The book is sweet, romantic, some angst, with great friends and families and I enjoyed the book from start to finish. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

Edan
This was a cute tale for the sweet Edan. My heart ached for him with the struggles he and Tommy went through. Good to see this little group get their ending.

Edan and Tommy were absolutely beautiful together. Their chemistry was explosive and hot. Their intimate moments were sweet and captured so much love, need and desire
Tommy’s family were amazing and I loved how they all used sign language to communicate with Edan.
Fantastic story and I really enjoyed it.
