This is the second book about the Forestville silver foxes and focuses on the hot Sheriff, Auden Frant. He is a divorced single dad who has always identified as straight. He is loyal dependable, and service-focused but has become somewhat of a workaholic since his divorce. And he does not really have a personal life other than with his longtime friends and children.

But Keaton Perry moves with his two boys to the small town and due to unexpected circumstances, they become friends. Keaton is a new teacher at the school and is more buttoned up and into poetry and books. He is bisexual and does not hide it. But he is struggling with the move, his sons' adjustment, and his ex-wife. His life seems to be in constant turmoil since the move, but Auden is becoming a support and new friend. And Keaton just tries to ignore the fact that Auden is so charismatic and attractive. 

But as they become closer, they begin to build something that feels more special than friendship but makes them both question. There is a bit of wonder and tentative hope. And both do some soul-searching and come to some realizations. 

This is a small town, opposites-attract, new-friends-to-lovers, bi-awakening, single dad romance. These two men are just honest and natural together, and they actually communicate which is so refreshing. There is not much angst regarding the new feelings and new relationship. Most of the conflict comes from issues outside the relationship and parental struggles. I enjoyed how the layers are gradually peeled back to eventually allow us to see all that the characters have been struggling with. 

It brings back all of Auden's friends introduced in the first book and sets us up for the next one. I really like this small town full of mature men with history and past pain, and am looking forward to even more stories.
