Blurb:
To architecture student Ian Carney, family means everything.
Taken in by his brother, Jim, when his father threw him out at eighteen for
being gay, Ian yearns to create his own family with his boyfriend, Rico. But
Rico’s in Mexico caring for a sick father, Ian hasn’t had sex in a month and a
half, and his gorgeous boss, Braden Lord, CEO of the architectural firm Ian
interns for, is looking better and better.
Braden’s life is chaos. Just out of the closet and going through an ugly divorce from his wife of fifteen years who’s trying to take custody of his two children, he desperately resolves not to succumb to a completely inappropriate attraction to Ian—even though his kids adore both the man and his crazy cat.
When Rico proves to be a snake in the grass and Ian exercises his powers of seduction, what starts as a “friends with benefits” fling turns into real life real fast. Can Ian give up his romantic dreams for an “old guy” who didn’t come out until he carried a mountain of baggage? It’ll only take a thousand steps.

My review:
m/m
I love this
series. Tara Lain often makes me confront my comfort zone and this book is
no different. We met Ian Carney and his cat Anderson Cooper in Knave of Broken
Hearts (Love in Laguna #2) which if you haven’t read you should. This book
takes place 3 years later. This is the story of Ian and his boss Braden. Braden
has just come out of the closet. He is going through an ugly divorce from a
bitter woman and is trying to keep his relationship with his two kids from
hitting the skids. The relationship between these two starts off awkwardly and
takes some time and effort. There is the age difference and the children and
the power exchange at work. The author somehow resolves these issues to my
satisfaction by the end of the book.
