Mmmmmm, this story was terribly sad on the way to its HEA. I was brought to tears by the heartbreak.

These two guys have each been betrayed, and used, by people they loved - one by the married man he was having an affair with, the other by his father who did not outright reject his son when he came out, but refused to allow him to be himself around him - both in family life and in the family's firm. Felice Stevens's tender hearted novel conveys the suffering of the two men beautifully. How stuck and angry and unhappy these events have left them.

Funny, I was just reading a blog where someone was asking for suggestions of MM novels where the MCs didn't have sex "within 2 hours". Nate and Presley do pretty quickly, on the day after they meet, but then Pres lays down the law that he wants to get to know Nate - the two are coming at a potential relationship from completely opposite corners. But they do get to know each other for several months before they have sex again - and wow, they enjoy their friendship making.

It's so interesting how 95% of the books I pick up offers me something, finds something new to say - this took me to a new place.

Not a rom com - quite an angst ridden but super hot love story between two characters who have sworn never to fall in love.

Rico has an MBA from Wharton and has started his own catering business with a childhood friend. He has never come out to his widowed dad who is a dedicated public official with little time for Rico.

Adam is from a farm in Texas. His natural courage and need to help others finds the best outlet as a firefighter. A tragedy involving a childhood friend haunts him.

Their ferocious attraction is both thrilling and terrifying and soon the later sends Rico running and Adam nursing his heart. There's a fire at the catering business, a trip to Texas, both sets of parents feature, and fellow fire fighters. But the theme is never far away: the difficulty of coming out, and facing those who are still bigoted.

Eventually these coming out novels will seem quaintly localised to a period of time when society was transitioning into equality around sexuality - just as there have been novels around the liberation of women, or slaves, or children - of course there is still a way to go with these groups - but wow, it's a relief to think some progress has been made towards queer liberation.

I'm on an unintended binge of Nick Russo narration at present, and he does an amazing job here. I particularly love the Texan drawl he gives Adam, but ultimately it would have been better if the author had written two separate points of view, and an audiobook produced using two narrators - this is my favourite approach - as I often didn't know who was who, unless there was direct speech from Adam in his drawl..

Felice Stevens is new to me but I see she has written dozens of novels and I'm sure I'll enjoy more if I can get a hold of the audiobooks. Stevens hails from New York and it is the setting for her novels - All or Nothing, a case in point.

I loved this book and the characters. Of course, I have loved almost all of Felice Stevens books:) It can also be read as a standalone. We learn right off that...

"Love is inescapable, indefinable, and sometimes ill-advised. It takes you by the throat and shakes you until your brain rattles, yet just as gently, cradles you in its arms."
So begins the story of Marcus and Tyler. Marcus owns a nightclub...Tyler is its newest dancer. Sparks ignite between them right away... but not all of them are the "good " kind. Marcus is determined to not ever get involved with ANYONE EVER AGAIN and certainly NOT one of his dancers. So why is he is so drawn to Tyler? Tyler felt that draw but was determined to NEVER be just another notch on Marcus’s or any other man's, bedpost, so he fights to resists him at every turn. Tyler is struggling to accept that dancing in this or any club is his new reality. He was professionally trained but he makes more money there in a night than he would in a month elsewhere...plus, he needs every cent of that money since his sister disappeared after leaving him her 5-year-old daughter. So, with bigger responsibilities to focus on he won’t/can't allow Marcus to be a distraction.

"When everyone in your life has always failed you, it made it almost impossible to believe a person would give you their heart, expecting nothing but to be loved in return."
Marcus can’t understand why Tyler keeps ignoring him and turning him down. They have undeniable chemistry, yet he continually gives him a cold shoulder and becomes angrier with every flirt that Marcus makes. Neither Tyler or Marcus's friends can believe that Marcus seriously likes Tyler, so they decide to offer him some help and advice. Ahhh... "The best laid plans of mice and men"! ...but...

"When you live with someone and love them, they creep into your blood and soul, leaving irrevocable imprints on your heart."
Marcus eventually learns that it's more Tyler’s added responsibility that's the problem and not so much Marcus himself. Unforeseen circumstances do finally allow Tyler to see the real Marcus with all his vulnerabilities There are so many highs and lows for Marcus and Tyler throughout the book, but they learn to lean on each other and support each other any way they can... plus Marcus finds that his heart also held tightly by a little girl that has had more than enough heartbreak in her young life. An awesome book and series.
