Words We Never Said - Book Eight

Review

Oh my, I cried. A lot.

But it was the cathartic kind of crying, where you feel lighter in the end.

Gage and Fallon are both carrying a lot on their shoulders. Pain, anger, guilt, and identity struggles. Their personal stories are vastly different, but there are connections that help them understand each other. And it’s beautiful. Big and beautiful.

Though this is heavy in many ways, it also felt hopeful and flirty, and like sinking into a nest of weighted blankets.

Truly loved having these two find themselves and love together.

Synopsis

“Do you think I could make a real living out of punching people’s exes? Hear me out…what if they really, really deserved it?”

Gage supposes it’s a fair question, even if he doesn’t mean it. Granted, the pain and trauma he’s been living with for the past year has changed him, but that’s not the kind of person he wants to be.

And that much is obvious when Gage pragmatically doesn’t ice out his new neighbor who also happens to be the guy that ghosted him for three months after their one night together.

But Gage can’t really blame Fallon for going silent. He’s dealing with as much as Gage is. In fact, as Gage comes to learn, Fallon has a lot more on his plate than a crappy ex. He’s about to become a dad, and he’s doing it completely alone.

Gage can’t seem to help himself when he offers to step in and help. And it’s not just the fact that he’s a firefighter trained to play hero. There’s something about Fallon that Gage can’t get enough of. Something that doesn’t just make him want to keep running after the other man.

He also wants to catch him.

To love him.

To be loved back.

And to turn their chaotic lives into something like a happily ever after.

Catching You is the eighth and final book of the single dads series, Words We Never Said. It’s a friends with benefits romance that contains a firefighter in pain trying to find his way again, a nerdy photographer who has no idea what to do when his life is turned upside down, punching people who deserve it, naming cockroaches after your exes and feeding them to zoo chameleons, building a family, accidentally falling in love, and a feet-kicking, toe-curling happily ever after.
