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?

En god bog i serien. Interessant at se Hit or miss hovedpersonerne gennem øjnene på to personer, der i sig selv er interessante

Ebbe elsker fodbold og er opkaldt efter landsholdsspilleren Ebbe Sand. Far er altid med til alle kampe, og Ebbe elsker deres snakke på vej hjem i bilen. En nat bliver Ebbes far rigtig syg, og han kommer på hospitalet. Lægerne finder ud af, at han har leukæmi og skal have kemobehandling, som gør ham rigtig syg. Tankerne flyver rundt inde i Ebbe, og han kan kun holde styr på dem, ved at tælle til en, to, tre og fire hele tiden. Men er det godt i en fodboldkamp?

Den er velskreven og man mærker, hvordan hans tvangstanker/OCD pludselig bliver mere styrende. Men der var et eller andet, der gjorde, at den ikke fangede mig helt.

Billednovelle om far-søn forholdet og de usagte ting, som kan fylde meget mere, end det der siges højt. I weekenden skal far og søn bygge et raftehegn ude i haven. Mor vil ikke have hegnet. Far synes at der er for mange idioter, der kan kigge ind i haven. Idioterne er hundeluftere, der går forbi. Raftehegnet tager form, far og søn finder en rytme, hvor det hele kører. Til frokost holder de pause og går ind og spiser. Moren er utilfreds med, at de drysser på gulvet med savsmuld fra rafterne. Der er en trykket stemning.

En velskrevet novelle om det usagte, der kan være i en familierelation. Om vold i hjemmet og om unges rolle, når forældrene ikke har et sundt forhold. De udtryksfulde illustrationer af Els Cools fuldender dramatikken i historien og understreger det usagte i forholdet mellem far og søn

Arty Reynolds chased his dream to Broadway, but after his father is injured, he must return to the small fishing community where he grew up, at least until his dad is back on his feet.

Jamie Wilson fled his family farm but failed to achieve real independence. Arty is hiring for a trip on the gulf, and it’ll get Jamie one step closer to his goal.

Neither man plans to stay in Florida long-term, neither is looking for love, and they’re both blown away by the passion that sparks between them. But on a fishing boat, there’s little privacy to see where their feelings might lead. Passion builds like a storm until they reach land, where they also learn they share a common dream. The lives they both long for could line up perfectly, as long as they can weather the strain on their new romance when only one of them may get a chance at their dream.

En god og underholdende bog. Kunne godt lide personskildringerne og alt det der skete i Artys hjemby. Slutningen i New York blev lidt for overdrevet perfekt for min smag, og det tog lidt væk fra bogen for mig.

The hospital’s least eligible bachelor and its aloof administrator hate each other… so why are they pretending to date?

Dr. Owen Gagnon and HR director Erin Andreas are infamous for their hospital hallway shouting matches. So imagine the town’s surprise when Erin bids an obscene amount of money to win Owen in the hospital bachelor auction—and Owen ups the ante by insisting Erin move in with him. 

Copper Point may not know what’s going on, but neither do Erin and Owen. Erin intends his gesture to let Owen know he’s interested. Owen, on the other hand, suspects ulterior motives—that Erin wants a fake relationship as a refuge from his overbearing father.

With Erin suddenly heading a messy internal investigation, Owen wants to step up and be the hero Erin’s never had. Too bad Erin would rather spend his energy trying to rescue Owen from the shadows of a past he doesn’t talk about.

This relationship may be fake, but the feelings aren’t. Still, what Erin and Owen have won’t last unless they put their respective demons to rest. To do that, they’ll have to do more than work together—they’ll have to trust they can heal each other’s hearts.
