Can there be a second chance for a first love?

When Presley Dawson falls in love with a married man, he knows it’s wrong but can’t help himself. For the first time he’s wanted and desired and not so lonely. When his lover returns to his husband, Presley doesn’t worry. He always comes back—until he doesn’t.Years later, Presley is stuck in neutral and lonelier than ever. He can’t forget his past and doesn’t know how to reach for his future. When his best friend suggests a support group to work through his grief, Presley agrees but without much hope; nothing has helped before. At the first meeting, he’s instantly attracted to Nate and struggles not to fall so far, so fast. He won’t be fooled again.

Nate Sherman is only attending a support group to get his family off his back. True, he hasn’t slept through the night in over three years, but he has reasons. Discovering your father—the man you love and idolize—is a liar and a cheater will do that. And dying in his girlfriend’s bed? No wonder Nate has trust issues. Meeting Presley changes everything. Nate sees Presley’s sweet nature and good heart and when he sets boundaries for their relationship, Nate surprises himself by willingly going along. With Presley by his side, Nate is able to sleep again and find the trust that he’s lost in himself and other people. He can even fall in love.

But Presley is keeping a secret and if he tells Nate, it could be the end of everything between them. He knows it’s wrong to start another relationship based on a lie. But it isn’t a lie if you don’t say anything.Is it?

Love can also hurt ❤️

Reviewed in Australia on 7 February 2020

Learning to forgive and let go . Press & Nate both boys fighting inner demons . My heart was with Nate as I’ve been in his shoes letting go of the past that ruins your family can consume you .
It’s a beautiful story of love and redemption when Nate falls for Presley he’s everything he’s ever wanted and needed but Press also has a secret one that could goes against everything Nate believes in.
I loved these boys I smiled laughed and teared up hope we see more of them in the next book of the series .
Well done Felice Stevens.

NEUTRAL Rating

Reviewed in Australia on 13 March 2020

I read this as a standalone story but I think it's better to be read in order.
A fast attraction for their first meeting between them. This took me a bit to unravel the first couple pages the way it was written. Coincidences popped up at the start and a lot of time jumps into the story. They where different Presley wants the cherished love where Nates wants to play around type of guy. A secret held by Presley is bound to cause problems.
Okay so I thought the timelines for their each bereavement was wearied. I usually love this authors books but I'm gonna pass on this one I just wasn't feeling it.

Presley needs to move on after the death of his friend 6 years ago. He joins a support group hopeful to help him move on.
Nate's first time at the group to help with bereavement for his father 3 years ago. (KU)

Love and Redemption.

Reviewed in Canada on 25 February 2020

Presley and Nate, both scarred by their pasts, grief and anger consume their lives, until they go to a counselling group - and meet each other. Presley is the sweetest thing, tender, hesitant, and honest while Nate is passionate, fiery, and short tempered, total opposites. Can Presley’s tender ways calm Nate to a softer side? Can they both look beyond each other’s sins of the past? This was a wonderful story, I read it in one afternoon, couldn’t put it down, even when total disaster was looming.

Angsty Love

Reviewed in the United States on 12 February 2020

This is a tough one. Felice Stevens' characters get under your skin from the beginning and in this one you have an intruder from a previous series (Presley. on the cover) and a somewhat older newcomer (Nate), both of whom have extreme issues with people who cheat. Which in this case one of them is basically hiding the fact that he was once a cheater and the other still not recovered from the fact that his father was.

They meet at a grief counselling session which neither of them wanted to attend but when Presley was pushed by his best friend and Nate by his brother they naturally start falling for each other without every disclosing why either one is seeking grief counselling.

New York City men can be such uncommunicative idiots at times.

Like many other reviewers, I was not charmed by Nate for a while, and really didn't feel all that sorry for Presley, either. But then Nate became obsessive and Presley had to build a defensive wall in order to not repeat his major life mistake and things got, well, complicated.

But like all her eventual couplings, this one is helped along by author Stevens' exceptional insights into personalities and psyches of men like this. When these two finally confront themselves, and each other, with their secrets, the explosions are teeth grinding to say the least.

But you have to find out how they will survive, each other and life, and when you do the smile that always comes with a Felice Stevens' ending is on your face,

A Redemption of Love

Reviewed in the United States on 4 February 2020

I love a good redemption story, and if anyone needed one, it was Presley. I’ll freely admit I wasn’t Presley’s biggest fan when we first met him in “Running From my Heart”, but I also needed his story too! Felice certainly delivered on that with Presley and Nate’s story. I was a rollercoaster of emotions over both of these men. Presley and Nate had pasts that haunted them, keeping them from being able to fully move on in their lives. Their struggle felt so real and I couldn’t help but feel my heart thaw towards Press. He unknowingly fell in love with the wrong man, and paid dearly for that. And Nate!! Having everything he thought he knew completely turned on it’s head. The two men needed each other more than they knew. Seeing them find themselves, and each other, was lovely. I fell for Presley and was so happy he found what he was looking for most - love. I love, loved their story and the ending was one of a kind. This was a great start to a new series, and I can’t wait to see what else is coming our way!

It's so predictable but I loved it anyway

Reviewed in the United States on 16 March 2021

Presley and Nate meet in a support group for grieving people. Their attraction is almost instant but Pres doesn't want to have another affair. He wants to get to know Nate before he is ready to share himself. Nate has been deeply hurt by his father not accepting him as the man he is, but finding out that his father cheated while his wife was fighting for her life has him reeling with anger and hurt. He agrees to Presley's wish to get to know each other but stipulates from the beginning that he despises cheaters.
We all know what will happen once Presley tells Nate the truth. The build-up of emotions is managed wonderfully by the author, the angst is growing and I could see the train wreck around the corner, but I couldn't put the book down. Nothing is more thrilling than to yell at the protagonists to pull their heads out of their butts and turning the pages to find out who is the first to admit he was wrong and can't see his life without the other.
Triggers: adultery in the past, losing loved ones by accident or illness, friends and family calling out bulls**t when characters behaving mean and hurting each other.

Kazza - On Top Down Under/Dark Hints Book Reviews

Good Contemporary Gay Romance.

Reviewed in the United States on 21 June 2020

Verified Purchase

Really enjoyable story.
Good MCs - I loved Presley from the very beginning, the tattooed antiques dealer with a sad past. I liked Nate, he could be arrogant and buttoned down but they proved to be a good match.
I enjoyed their meeting place and how they grew from there - sometimes it's nice to have caring, stubborn friends and family around you.
Presley's best friend Frisco was just fantastic, everyone should have such a loyal bestie.
Fool for Love is a good contemporary romance, one with engaging characters who mesh well. I knew what the issues would be pretty much from the get-go but the story was interesting and well written. The writing flowed so effortlessly. The characters worked for their happy ending... just the way I like it.
