Nick Addison has taken care of Hollister Welles since college. Though the responsible grad student and the uninhibited partier were total opposites, they had always shared an inexplicable bond. Nick knows he should stop saving the out-of-control Holly, but when Holly hits rock-bottom hard--and publicly--he can't resist coming to his rescue one last time. Can't resist the feeling of having Holly need him again. Bringing Holly back to New York City, Nick gives Holly the chance to face his demons and break his dangerous habits--while keeping Holly's presence a secret from Nick's wife. He doesn't want to face Caroline's hatred of Holly...or the reasons she might have to resent him. Then the tables are turned. Just as Holly pulls himself together, Nick's life falls apart. Now it's up to Holly to bring Nick back from the brink--and to make Nick finally face the desires he's long denied. 65,200 words… (meer)

This was a sweet contemporary romance with some unexpected D/s undertones. Nick is macho and controlling, but doesn't recognize his dominant tendencies until Holly makes them impossible to ignore. I liked getting to watch the relationship between these two develop. They both had a lot to learn, a lot to accept about each other and themselves. The secondary characters were also well done, playing off Nick and Holly's personalities in ways that made the main characters stand out even more. ( )

I. LOVE. THIS. STORY.

It had the right amount of everything to keep the reader hooked.

Hollister a.k.a Holly is a drugged out, boozed up, crazy pile of damage. He's the bad boy that tries to out bad boy himself. But his college friend, Nick, comes to save him from himself one more time. Nick's always had a crush on Holly even back when they were in college ten years ago but he's married now...to a woman. And a successful, straight & narrow, journalist. The perfect example. Or is he?

There's too much I could say as to why this book is awesome. It's real. It's sexy. It's angsty good. Both men let their true selves out and...I loved who they were under their shells.

There's more controlling factors than heavy BDSM in this one but it's fitting. (The kissing the feet thing? Loved it!)

This was an easy 5 STAR read.

Alright!

I finally had a chance to read this one, considered a classic by so many GoodRead friends. I did love it, lots and lots! It was not what I was expecting, but I was pleasantly surprised with the splash of D/s when the two MCs started their sexual relationship. Wow, super hot stuff!

If you like hurt/healing/comfort and friends-to-lovers, this one will be RIGHT up your ally! Have fun! ( )

Two best friends. One married and the other slowly destroying himself. A story of self-realization. Sweet and tragic in turn. 4 stars ( )

OMG, the love I have for this book knows no bounds.Everything about this book hits my hot spots. The characters, the pacing, the writing, the relationship (the subtle...and then not-so-subtle D/S overtones throughout the book were spot-on and fucking perfect). I even enjoyed the secondary characters as they were pretty well fleshed out. It's a friends-to-lovers story, but so.much.more. Watching Holly and Nick each crash and burn in their respective lives and then figure out what they have both been missing out on is just amazing. I can't recommend this book enough! ( )
