This dynamic is so intriguing between these guys and has been building in the background through their friend's books.

Alden is a lonely, rich, successful businessman who has seen his best friends find their boys and happiness. He longs for what they have, but just seems to be sitting back wanting his assistant and waiting.

Gannon is a broody, feisty, stubborn army vet and now their corporate assistant. His scars run deep and affect his self-worth and make him think no one would truly want a relationship with him...including his best friend, Nolan, who he has a huge crush on. 

Nolan is a sassy, confident, and sweet event planner. He is crushing on Gannon as well but does not truly understand what holds him back. 

Gannon and Nolan are afraid to admit what they want and be vulnerable enough to discuss the issues until Alden gets involved. Alden has been watching his assistant for a while and he cannot help wading into the situation. But what begins as help starts to lead into the possibility of something that none of them ever considered. But it might be just the answer that they all need. 

I really enjoyed the dynamics between these three. There was a lot going on under the surface and they all had different needs and expectations, but somehow fit. It is about trust, communication, exploration, and changing attitudes. It is a process of discovery between all three of them.

It was actually quite beautiful to see how they complemented and cared for each other. Alden strives to be in control but is also a caretaker. Nolan is fun and snarky, but also caring and finds parts to himself that surprise him. It also focuses on Gannon and his journey to take back his life and find hope and fulfillment. The most powerful part for me was how Alden and Nolan both tried to make Gannon see himself the way they saw him and prove to him that he was not damaged or broken but totally worthy of more love than he ever thought he deserved.
