Description

Christian can’t help himself. He’s falling in love with the sweet guy who’s been coming into the sandwich shop for the past several months. But Christian’s been avoiding the candle-seller all year, going so far as to cross the street to avoid walking by him. Ashamed, he wonders if Dani can ever forgive him.

Losing his mother to cancer, Dani has spent the last year in a haze of grief and loneliness. His life is selling candles, giving himself to any man who can pay, and saving himself from having to go home to his father’s brutality.

Desperate for a place to belong, Dani sets out, with Christian’s help, to find his mother’s family. Christian wants Dani to be happy, though the cost might be losing Dani forever.

Christian can’t help himself. He’s falling in love with the sweet guy who’s been coming into the sandwich shop for the past several months. But Christian’s been avoiding the candle-seller all year...

This book! It made me cry buckets of tears! My only issue is that it's too short! Why?????

Yes, I got too involved, I know.

This is just the perfect romance read I was craving for and yes, for such books there's nothing like not a particular time to pick it up but you know it makes a perfect choice for all the LGBTQIAP romance lovers out there which involves the warmth and kindness if absolute strangers (the world needs more of this!).

Dani. One of the main characters. He has lost all his confidence growing up in an abusive household (warnings for physical and sexual abuse; death and grief).

Christian. The other main character. I am telling you we all deserve a Christian in our lives.

The writing got me right from the very first page. The story is good! The ending so damn satisfying.

But I still want proper justice for all the harm done to the characters.

I am still wishing for a second part. I do feel the book ended too soon.

Worth it!

Thank you, author and the publisher for the advance reading copy.
