Jake and Mano both need a chance to start over, so they move to Hawaii and work for Jake's uncle, Mano working as a lifeguard. In his free time, Mano explores his sexuality and finds he has no shortage of men in his bed.

Mano has been through emotional hell, and he wants a place to start over. Hawaii is exactly what he needs, a major break from Washington DC where he grew up, with a new set of friends (except for his closest buddy, Jake), and a new outlook on life and what he really wants to do with it. Some of his initial attempts to find the love he so desperately wants are less than successful, but Mano’s irrepressible spirit helps him recover and try again. I loved watching him gradually gain confidence in his personal life, but when his professional assurance grows, it all comes together.
The strength of this novel, for me, lies in the emotions Mano experiences, and how he shares them all, good and bad, as he explores the options that come his way. Having front row seats to everything he feels was tough, since he got hurt quite a bit, but then it was also good, since Mano does eventually figure out how to get what he so desperately wants: a loving relationship with a man he trusts. Their romance is slow, and that makes the eventual physical encounters all the hotter.
If you like romances between very real men who have very real issues, if the emotional side is as interesting for you to learn about as the physical aspect of a relationship, and if you’re looking for a read that is as intense and funny as it is hot and fulfilling, then you will probably like this novel. I loved it just as much as the first book in this series, and recommend you read them both t get the full picture of these wonderful characters.
