It’s time to come home, Finn.

It’s been seven years since Daniel Finley left his hometown in Florida for the hustle and bustle of Chicago’s city life.

Since then, he’s worked hard for his position at the prestigious law firm Leighton & Associates, even when it’s caused distance and isolation from his family and friends. But that’s all about to change.

On his thirtieth birthday, he receives the one thing he never dared hope for. Something that was promised to him years earlier—a note. One simple sentence from the man he’s never been able to forget.

Six words will forever change the course of their lives.

Brantley Hayes has it all. Or so he thinks. When he first made the decision to take a job down in Florida, his family thought he was crazy. But, after years of living in the quiet beach town, he finally feels a sense of community. He’s surrounded himself with friends who are like family, has a job he loves, and owns a spectacular beachfront property that is his sanctuary.

Yet he still feels unfulfilled, as if a piece of the puzzle is missing, and he knows exactly which piece it is. On an impulse, he follows through with a promise he made years earlier. A promise to call home the one he sent away.

Nothing is as simple as it seems.

After years of separation, the former lovers are reunited, but Brantley wasn’t expecting to encounter the high walls now guarding Daniel’s heart.

Daniel may not be the same person he was when he left, but he knows that the first step to healing is the note in his hand.

MICHELLE’S REVIEW

So I have to admit something. This is my first Ella Frank book.

I know. I KNOW. But it’s not my first M/M book so I was really excited to read one from an author I know is known for doing that genre well.

And she did not disappoint. What’s the number one lesson we have learned, lovers? That’s right!! Gay sex is HOT!

Finley and Brantley certainly prove that to be true.

So here’s the deal. Finley was Brantley’s student and has much as B tried to fight it, Finn broke him down and they fell in love. Even though Brantley is 9 years older- the love between them knew no age. But when Brantley encourages (or as Finn sees it- pushes) Finn to leave Florida to finish law school somewhere bigger and better- Finn leaves and never comes back.

Now let me pause here. I had some trouble connecting to Finn. I mean here is a man who took an entire book to realize that someone loved him enough to let him go and not only that- he left his entire family behind just because he thought the man he loved didn’t want him around- which was not the case. I found Finn to be a bit of an angry baby at times.

But- as far as couples go- this is one that belongs together so I am glad that they find their way to one another even if the whole ride is bumpy and full of angst and tension.

The story itself is told in both past and present which is not always my favorite but it serves to tell the back story and gives some insight into why Finn is so angry. It also made me root for Brantley more because I understood why he sent Finn away and how he expected that to go in the end.

The story is so full of sexual tension, you’ll need to shower regularly. I know now why Ella Frank is known for her m/m books- cause they are HOT.

This is a spin off series but having not read the series it spun off from, I did not feel lost at all so it is definitely a book you can just pick up.

Fans of the author will love this and new to the author readers will as well!
