Albuquerque, New Mexico-Present Day

Will McLaren and Ethan Gallagher have been best friends since high school. Ethan is confident, handsome, charming, witty, and the perfect opposite to Will’s shy, introspective, and caring personality. Adults now, Ethan is an international buyer for a technology company who has moved to Arlington, Virginia, but still manages to keep in touch. Back in Albuquerque to celebrate Will’s Ph.D. and Will’s sister, Jessie’s, wedding day, Ethan can tell that something is bothering Will. After the reception, Ethan decides to talk to him.

Will loves Ethan, and not just as a best friend, but as a lover and soul mate. But Ethan is straight and Will would rather die than tell him how he feels, only to lose their friendship. Seeing his sister so happy and in love, the one thing that he lacks in his life but longs for, Will is overcome with despair and loneliness and leaves the wedding reception to seek solace by drinking heavily. Unfortunately, Ethan decides to tag along, then insists that Will tell him what is wrong. Will does, prepared to lose his friendship with Ethan, only to be shocked right into soberness instead.

Ethan is a man with many secrets that he can’t or chooses not to reveal. Will thinks of himself as a geek, but is actually a very smart and passionate man. Both Ethan and Will are sexy as sin. Because secrets seem to be the theme throughout NEVER LET GO, I don’t want to give too much of the story away. But believe me, NEVER LET GO is well worth reading, and the love scenes are intense, sensual, and emotional. NEVER LET GO is a tightly written erotic love story that I thoroughly enjoyed reading.

This is why I recommend stopping by Amber Heat to pick up a copy today.
