Where We Left Off (Heroes of Port Dale #5)

I need a little ARC break, and I figured I might as well be productive about it (getting one step closer to crossing another author off my to-binge list). Here's "Where We Left Off." It's the fifth book in Romeo Alexander's Heroes of Port Dale series.

["Tyler:
Well, I’m back in Port Dale for the summer, staying with Elliot and Clay. Not my original plan, but that got busted.
I never expected to run into him. He looked good, even better than before. Nate had been more than just my best friend, he was my ‘almost’ first boyfriend. Then he was suddenly removed from my life. I’d thought it was for good but then, as I’ve recently found out, plans change!
Now we’re both back in Port Dale. Can we pick up where we left off? Should we? Well, the answer to that was out of our hands when the trouble started.

Nathaniel:
My life has always been determined by my father. He made me leave Port Dale, he chose my college, and he brought me back when my grades dropped.
Then I ran into Tyler and, wow, he’s changed…for the better! Getting together again could be a blessing… or a curse if my father ever finds out. Can I keep Tyler a secret from him? Should I? Little did we know, trouble was waiting right around the corner, and it would put all our lives in danger.

Can Tyler and Nate rekindle their old flame, or will Nate’s father win again? Or is there something else in play, something much more deadly?"]

Tyler is from book two (and can I saw how giddy I am that Tyler is friends with Elliott/Clay?!), though Nathaniel (I believe) is new.

These two were cute as hell. And the total opposite of what I had assumed they’d be (take those cliches and ropes and flip them folks—and if you can’t quiiiiite see it, trust me, it’s good). 

Tyler is still adorable as hell, though he’s a beefcake now. He’s fierce and loyal and stubborn and condiment. Enter Nate. Nate is a shell, a broken-down, hiding behind a wall, no emotions allowed, puppet for his father. He’s hesitant and shy and in search of freedom, if only for a few hours. Enter Tyler. 

This novel was fast paced with some mystery and intrigue and danger and fluff all around. 

And yes, Nate, you’re right: Clay is dangerous and suspicious as hell ;) 

Trigger Warnings: violence, kidnapping, injuries, car accidents horrible fathers, and more.
