Shane has had a hellish time growing up. His mum's depressive anxiety disorder keeps her housebound, his father left because of that, he is constantly bullied by the golden boy of the small town, and his secret boyfriend gets send away by his parents. He stays in town, taking care of his mum and successfully opening a garage. One day his former tormenter returns to Last Chance, and maybe there are reasons to forgive him. Let me start by saying if I'll ever learn to read the synopsis and see the word bully I will actually refrain from the book cause I'm not big on forgiving. Yes, we receive reasons, and explanations, and apologies. I'm still not good with the forgiving part. Relationship between the two MCs is good, the relationship with old/new friends is lovely, the situation with Shane's mum is well done, the one between Van and his as well, though very, very different. Kink isn't mine, but ok. Let them have fun. 😉
