Love knows no limits…but fear could keep them from seeing it.
Gabe lives a double life. As Gabriel Henson, he works multiple jobs to support his remorseless, alcoholic mother. As Tony Ryder, he does internet porn for extra cash and regular safe sex without complications. But when he encounters a scared young man freaking out in a night club, he’s compelled to reach out. Ever since then, the memory of that young man has haunted him.
Tristan Lavalle lives his life thirty minutes at a time. After a traumatic brain injury three years ago, he gets through his day recording his life in spiral notebooks and sticky note reminders. A month after Tristan’s embarrassingly public meltdown, another chance meeting with Gabe sparks a warm, emotionally fulfilling email relationship. Both men crave more, but fear of the next step stands between them.
And then Tristan gets the opportunity to take part in a clinical trial that could improve his memory—if the side effects don’t kill him. But for Tristan, the possibility of a real life with Gabe is worth any risk…

Review 🌈🌈
Loved the story and the main characters but this story has its faults.
Some might say that I shouldn’t fault the author for my views. Well I’m the reader so I get to decide what I like and what I don’t.
I love the characters, Gabe and Tristan are so sweet, you’ll defiantly fall in love with Tristan and his memory loss – he is so super cute. Gabe has a hard time at home with his mother, again my caring nature just wants to wrap him in a hug and take all his pain away. I guess you could say, two shitty pasts makes a great future and that’s what you get.
However, Gabe is doing porn. You might remember him from the first book as Tony. He’s is still doing scenes while being with Tristan and not telling him. NO MATTER how you put that, that is cheating, and I DO NOT like cheating. Yeah! explain all you want, but that still don’t sit well with me, sorry it’s a no go for me.
The author falls into the pit
This author, unfortunately as many others falls into the pit of sex. When every other chapter becomes a new description of sex I almost want to give up, it gets boring after a while. Some of it even seams corny, when Gabe and Tristan are watching a scene together. I mean who wants to watch their boyfriend doing it with another guy? I can’t even imagine that.
The story was really great and maybe with a bit adjusting it could be a five star/rainbow read.
