Oh, sweet Rush. He is trusting, naive, adorable, quirky, creative, and has lots of big feelings. His ADHD causes different challenges that vary from unfocused to hyperfocused, to too antsy to too still, and needing his own systems to try to function. But his heart is pure and he cares deeply. And his heart just got trampled on by the man he thought was his boyfriend.

Hunter was blindsided to learn his fiance' also had a boyfriend and his move to Seattle is now not what he hoped for. He is having an identity crisis and is angry and full of self-doubt. He is also struggling with finding a place to live making it harder to settle in a city with no friends or family nearby.  And it is even more complicated when he sees who one of his new employees is and worries about the dynamic of supervising his ex's side-piece.

This whole situation starts out bad and gets messy. But as Hunter spends more time with Rush, he starts to see his appeal and begins to appreciate his humor, pure heart, and the unique way he sees the world. And Hunter brings a sense of calm and acceptance to Rush, while Rush helps Hunter realize his own self-worth despite his bruised ego. And as they become friendlier, an idea is born...a revenge idea. 

With the help of the boys of the Big Bertha house, revenge plans are made but things also never really go as planned with Rush in the equation. And the initial idea to make their ex jealous starts spiraling in different directions. 

I loved seeing two scorned men finding understanding and helping each other heal and move on from the bad situation they were both in. And I was really wanting to see their shared ex get his comeuppance. But it is really more about these two men finding an unexpected connection and their person as a consequence of a bad situation. And the way they balanced, accepted, and understood each other was really sweet and beautiful. I think the author handled Rush's issues in an honest way and I just adored him and his quirks. And Hunter might have appeared to be put-together but he had his own issues and feelings of inadequacy too. They are not perfect and they are not expected to be. And it is the openness,  vulnerability, acceptance, and protectiveness that is the heart of this story. But they have some great chemistry too. 

It is always fun to hang out with these guys and I am excited for more of this series because Madden, Penn, and Xander are so intriguing.
