Never Let It End by Christie Gordon
4.0
I want to start by saying that although this book can be read as standalone, it's much better if you read the previous ones, you will enjoy it more.
Another thing that I want to point out is that I have noticed, in the last few books (including this one) that the author has a more fluid writing style, something that I had been saying that she needed in my first book reviews in her other series. So thank you Christie cause it really shows, making it much more pleasant to read them.
Now, as for Caleb and Eric. We met Caleb in the previous books of this series, and from the beginning, I found him very endearing. In Come Closer To Me (book 2) he finds himself involved in a traumatic event, something he is still struggling with in his story. To help him get over it, his friends and bandmates take him on a mini vacation to a Mexican beach. There he meets Eric, who is also on vacation before starting on a new job, someone a little older to whom he immediately feels attracted and who gradually eases the guilt and trauma he feels after the events at the mall where Axel was injured. The attraction is mutual and deep, but they soon realize that Eric is going to be a professor at the same university Caleb attends, and that puts a deadline on their relationship.
Eric... I'm not too sure I like him very much. Despite being the older of the two, and the fact that he has worked hard to achieve his goals in his career, the one who seems more mature to me, more confident of what he wants, is Caleb. He is the one more willing to fight for the two of them, to find solutions, etc., while Eric is the one who is scared and constantly worried about losing everything, mostly due to the actions of his ex-lover, who is an older married man with children, with whom he had an affair while he was his boss at Eric's previous job. Yes, we all make mistakes, but cheating is a big NO, especially when Eric knew he was cheating on someone and he didn't even love the man so... Yes, definitely, Caleb is my favorite in this story.
However, after parting ways on the beach, Eric realizes that he somehow needs to have Caleb in his life, and he seeks him out. And after overcoming several obstacles (like I said: the vindictive ex who won't take no for an answer) and the fears that Eric felt, they finally get to enjoy their HEA.
I was given an advanced copy and voluntarily wrote a review.
