About this ebook

Despite the curve balls thrown at him throughout his childhood, Barrett Kenner is now a successful musician. The only thing missing is romance.

Ivan Romanov killed a man to save his sister’s life. Although he’s served his time, Ivan’s past left him with baggage far heavier than the meager belongings he carries out of prison.

Barrett clings to the memory of a fervent kiss, a kiss Ivan tries to pretend meant nothing. When the two men finally accept their feelings for each other, life should be smooth sailing, but the past still lurks in the shadows.

Can Barrett and Ivan protect their love and their lives, or will dangers from long ago be more than they can withstand?

Barrett & Ivan is a May/December, friends-to-lovers, second chance romance.

This book was originally published in 2016 under the same title. The story, blurb, and cover have been revised and updated.

Let me start of by mentioning that I have read and listened to a fair amount of books by this author. However I have mixed feelings about this book. I enjoyed the general storyline of how Barrett & Ivan got together after a longtime. However I had a bit of a problem with the part about Barrett having to date some people and over involvement of Lexi in that part. And there where some other parts where I did not sit quite right for me. The reintegration of Ivan in society, after having been in jail for so long, read believable. I however liked the main story and it was good to see that Barrett & Ivan, in the end got their hea/ hfn. This book is an updated version of the book that was released I few years ago. Trigger might apply: non -con forced mentioned.

Love, love, love this story. The characters were thoughtful written and it also had a great storyline. I have been a faithful fan of this series and once again I was pleased with the way this author weaved the story of friendship, love, and redemption. Barrett has know and loved Ivan since he was teenager. After Ivan goes to prison for killing his sister Alexia’s abusive boyfriend, Barrett and Alexis go into hiding depending on each other while waiting for Ivan to come home. Once home, Ivan battles the demons of being in prison for 10 years. His love for Barrett and the unwavering support Barrett and Alexis give Ivan help with the readjustment. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Barrett hung out with Lexie a lot because his grandfather didn’t like he was gay and Ivan her brother was there too. He had a crush on Ivan, Ivan kissed him before he left for prison when Barrett was 16. Because Ivan killed a man to keep his sister alive. Barrett and Lexie lived together while he was there, Lexie became an author and Barrett was a musician and singer he did different things for people like jingles. Finally Ivan got out and found out the the various things they did to keep their spirits up plus he really wanted to be with Barrett. Lexie and Ivan got a surprise visitor. Great book! Pulled me in and had to keep reading!
