Synopsis (Goodreads):
Raised in a religious household, being gay was never an option for Steven, but when an injury left him incapacitated, he was forced to face those urges that he’s been able to ignore for the last thirty-eight years of his life...

Lost...

Three months ago, Major Steven Hardesty’s life sat on the precipice of perfection. Now he’s trying to come back from a life-threatening injury and a devastating romantic loss all while trying to figure out what he’s going to do after separating from the Air Force.

Alone...

Billy Starr never planned on running his family ranch by himself. He was supposed to be doing it with his sister, Whitney. But when she died in a freak accident, it sent his life in a tailspin of despair and alcohol.

Healing...

Steven and Billy were friends. Billy offered the ranch as a good, private place where Steven could recover, but as their friendship deepened, so did other feelings. Is it possible that a love affair between the two of them could heal them both? Or break them even more?
Thoughts on When love Surprises: Yassss. Steven, Felicia's upstanding ex (seriously, the guy was pretty awesome and I'm PLEASED to see him find his happy place), gets his story. And it's certainly packed with surprises as the title suggests. In a good way, though. In a good way.

Deeply in the closet thanks to his upbringing and the power his parents wield, Steven has a lot of speed bumps to get past as he deals with his attraction to Billy. Throw in a BIG surprise (in a little package) and suddenly what should be a happy exploration between two people discovering love becomes a lot more complicated.

Meanwhile, Billy has his own issues. He might be unabashedly out and willing to explore this thing with Steven, but his past has the potential to do some damage. In more ways than one. (For the record, I got a little crazy eyed when Billy had that THING happen to him. You know, the THING. Oh, Billy.)

I always have a tough time saying goodbye to a series I've been with since the beginning. This particular series has been a wild ride. In the best way, of course. I'm sad to see it go, but I'm satisfied with where it ended.
