STILL overwhelmed by the sheer number of TBRs. So still not start something completely random aka, slowly crossing another author off my to-binge list. Here's Nicole Dykes's "Balance." It's the second book in her Oakley's Crew series, which is a spin-off of her Kensley Panthers series.
["Archie
My favorite principle in landscaping and in life is balance.
In any situation, that’s my goal—to find that perfect balance. And I’m good at it too.
That is until I met Cane.
Now, nothing makes sense, and everything is off balance. I’m not sure what to make of this and how to make it work.
I’ve never felt like this before, and I can’t decide if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. All I know is I want to find a way.
Cane
I knew I wasn’t happy before I met Archie. But after? It became pretty apparent I wasn’t.
Blatantly so.
How am I supposed to go back now? Especially since he showed back up in my life at just the wrong time—or right, depending on how you look at it.
I don’t even know if I can convince him to forgive me. And I don’t know what I want.
All I know is I’ve never felt more secure in who I am than when I’m around him."]
I’m really not sure how a book could be so fluffy and so angsty. But it was! And it was perfect!
Archie and Cane had instant chemistry, love at first sight, you’re-it kinda magic. Too bad they didn’t see each other for a few months after that one night.
Being together was easy. In the physical sense. The emotional sense? It took some harsh realities and harder looks, some deep introspections and baggage reviewing.
But they finally (finally) made it work. With their little farm animal babies.
Trigger Warnings: typical small town homophobia and more.
