Gil and Eric, best friends for years, are on celebrating Gil's 30th Birthday with a "bro trip " to Las Vegas before their final destination Oregon.
What was supposed to be carefree, partying it up time, turns into something entirely different for the guys, whose lives have taken them in different directions over the years.
The past, present, and future plague these two, how they deal with the upsets.. it shows how much they have grown apart.
Chance meetings, throwing caution to the wind, P.T.S.D. insecurities, and finding one's self through some tantalizing, heart melting ways.
The City that never sleeps seems to have more to offer than a good time!
Hot and heart heavy, this complex beautifully broken romance grabbed my attention from the very beginning holding on throughout the twisted ups and downs until the very last page!
Intriguing, bold true to life characters with lives that interconnect, by the end I had a soft spot for them all!
Both these Authors are new to me, after this book, which will no longer be the case!
A well written, touching sensuous read that I highly suggest checking out for yourself!

A Uniquely Romantic Read
Well, I was excited to read a combined book by two of my favorite authors, and I was not disappointed in their collaboration!
In this very different story, two friends, brought up in different countries and cultures, connect and come together to learn how each have grown and changed through experiences with their families and jobs.
Each of them are looking to find that special someone, and do they ever! The romantic and sexy ladies that join these best friends help keep the sensitive and even painful pasts of these two amazing men in balance, with humor and real love.
This first book, in what I dream will be a long series, is emotional, heart-felt, and enjoyable on so very many levels!!!

I’m trying to think back if this was my first book with 4 POV! 2 men + 2 ladies = 2 couples.
I enjoyed the background of how these two male friends, like brothers, one from Australia and the other from the USA came to be such close friends. Interesting way that both couples met too! I laughed out loud at Erin and Ezee! I was a little disappointed that these two friends (Gil & Eric) who hadn’t seen each other in several years, didn’t spend more time together in Las Vegas, where they went to have a vacation/holiday together, before Gil started his new job. Overall it was a fun story!

Eric meets Ezee and after their one night stand discovers she's a yoga instructor for the PTSD workshop he teaches. Gil meets a stripper named Piper and has a wild time.

This is the first book by these authors I’ve read and I enjoyed this story. The story follows friends who meet at school and meet up again and enjoy a few days in Vegas. What happens instead is nothing like what either of them had in mind. Really like Eric and Gil there friendship is great. Very well written book.
