There is so much communication and consent in here and I loved how much Sam and Hartley worked to make each other comfortable and find what worked for them. Because of Hartley's past, he doesn't like to be touched and Sam is so respectful about that. Sam runs into Hartley and they begin such a sweet and steamy relationship. Sam is a bar owner and he breaks into Hartley's estate to find a risqué painting of a friend of his. He is such a sweetheart and I loved how close he was with his staff and how much he really cared for him. Now, his reputation is ruined and he feels as if he cannot interact with anyone. Hartley is living as a recluse after being taken advantage of as a young boy. Whew was this book such a good and steamy romance! From the start, my heart went out to Hartley.
