Synopsis

Chris Lomax swore he’d never return to Saugatuck, but nothing could have prevented him from coming home to the small lakeside town, not once he saw the news about the fire – and Hunter, the only person ever to steal his heart. He must make sure Hunter is okay, and service dog Lucy could lend a helping paw.

Firefighter Hunter Drake never expected to see Chris again. He thought he’d lost his best friend for good when Chris jilted Hunter’s sister at the altar. But right now Hunter needs to focus on his recovery. What he doesn’t understand is why Chris came back – and why he won’t leave.

The two men get to reconnect, but spending so much time together leaves Hunter confused and uncertain, especially when Chris reveals he’s both bi and in love with him. Hunter’s not sure what to do about that last part.

What Chris wants is for Hunter to forgive him.
What Hunter needs is to stop living in denial.
Yeah, as if it was ever going to be that easy…

I loved the book, now I love the audiobook!

I loved this book so much when I read it and when I found out that John Solo would be performing it, I couldn’t wait to listen to it. I probably sound like a broken record but I really love the audiobooks I’ve listened to that John has done. He is in my top five favorite audiobook performers. He brings so much emotion to the characters in this story. I listened to whole thing straight through while I worked around the house. John Solo and K.C. Wells are a fantastic combination!

Below is what I wrote about the book when I read it back in April, 2020.

Here for You is a sweet, slow burn story about second chances. It features three of my favorite romance tropes: second chances, friends-to-lovers and gay-for-you/out-for-you.

Chris and Hunter were best friends growing up and Chris was supposed to marry Hunter’s sister, Cally. No one knows why Chris left Cally at the altar or why he ran away and left town. It’s five years later and Chris has returned because he heard that Hunter was injured fighting a fire; he had to see for himself that Hunter was OK.

Hunter isn’t happy to see Chris; he’d never really forgiven him for leaving town the way he did – with no explanation. His feelings are all mixed up and coping with the after-effects of the fire and Chris being in his space aren’t helping him any.

This story got me right in the feels. Chris really wants to make amends for leaving town the way he did. His parents don’t give him too much of a hard time and, much to his surprise, neither does Cally. Hunter is the only one he cares about that still won’t let him apologize. Seeing these two struggle to come to terms with everything going on in their lives was at times heartbreaking but ultimately uplifting.

Chris’s dog Lucy was a huge part of this story. She can sense when she’s needed and she provides a lot of comfort, especially to Hunter. I know someone with a service dog like this and it’s amazing what her dog can do to help so I knew that Lucy’s role in the story was spot on.

About Author

Born and raised in the north-west of England, K.C. WELLS always loved writing. Words were important. Full stop. However, when childhood gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got in the way. K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, when the purchase of a ménage storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in love was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life led to the desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger discovery waited in the wings—writing about men in love was even hotter….

K.C. now writes full-time and is loving every minute of her new career. The laptop still has no idea of what hit it… it only knows that it wants a rest, please. And it now has to get used to the idea that where K.C goes, it goes.

And as for those men in love that she writes about? The list of stories just waiting to be written is getting longer… and longer….
