Thoughtful and touching story. RJ is thirtysomething, bereft and directionless after his artist lover abruptly leaves him for a wealthy patron with the right connections. People have been leaving RJ all his life, from boyfriends to the father he never knew. Now, his mother is demented and dying.
Julian, a pediatric hospital volunteer, has been watching RJ's unhappiness from afar, waiting his moment. They've met only briefly, but Julian can't get RJ out of his head, and now that RJ is single, Jul...more

This one, I loved.
It starts off immediately (as in the very next day) after "The Charlie Factor". I finished that one yesterday so I was really happy to see this book take up immediately after.
It starts off with RJ waking up the day after Josh and Laurence's wedding and reception with Julian in his bed. Julian's stalkerish behavior kind of creeped me out early on. It kind of went beyond just interest in someone. I can honestly say that that had me thinking right off that I was not going to like...more

I couldn't put this fast-paced story down. I had to keep turning pages, even while alternating between tears and grins.
RJ's life is tough, there's no mistaking that, but some of the choices he makes doesn't make it any easier. This guy has never truly learned to trust anyone. The first step in his forced evolution is waking up with a stranger, Julian. Good thing the man is kind, nurturing, and only wants to take care of RJ. But RJ doesn't know how to let Julian in, and while learning, makes some...more

Good m/m romance about a wedding planner, recently dumped, who wakes up after a party to discover a strange man in bed with him... a strange man who know an awful lot about him. This would've been better without the near-purple prose during the sex scenes.

A sweet story about Julian who has been stalking (sort of) RJ since he organized his sister's wedding a year ago. Finally RJ's boyfriend has left and Julian rescues a very drunk RJ at his friend's wedding from ending up a slave in some guys dungeon. RJ has a million reasons why they can't be together and that he sucks at relationships and doesn't want kids, most of them stemming from a childhood with an alcoholic single mother. Her imminent death from cancer forces him to contact his father whom...more
This series focuses on a group of friends. In this book, RJ gets his happy ending.
In the last book, The Charlie Factor, we found out that RJ had been dumped by his boyfriend Toby. He runs a successful business but is despondent as he watches his friends find their soul mates.
At the wedding of his good friends, he is 'rescued' by Julian. I wasn't 100% sure what to make of Julian at first - should I really like Julian or should I think he was a strange stalker? I am not quite sure of the relevanc...more

3.5 stars. This is the follow up to The Charlie Factor and is RJ's story. RJ gets really drunk at Josh and Laurence's wedding and wakes up "the day after" with the brother of a former wedding client. RJ barely remembers the reception and certainly not how he ended up in his bed with a stranger. For Julian's part, he's been wanting RJ since his sister's wedding and has waited for nearly a year and a half to make his move. This comes only a couple of months after RJ has been dumped by his boyfrien...more
This book is a sequel to The Charlie Factor. We see Charlie and Gregory, characters from the first book, although the focus is on R.J. and Julian. A very nice story about different things that two lovers want in life. Julian is a nurse who loves children, while R.J. does not want to have anything to do with them. This is a m/m romance, so we can guess how it ends, but it is the journey to the end that makes this book worths reading. It's an emotional book that made my eyes blurred several times.
I enjoyed this sequel to The Charlie Factor, although I think I did enjoy the first book more than this one (I'm a sucker for a cute dog, not so much kids haha) but I still enjoyed the writing and the storytelling in this one. I thought the "stalking" was more funny than creepy, but I'm glad it wasn't made into a huge deal. I really enjoyed it and look forward to what this author comes up with next!
I had a little bit of a hard time relating to RJ. He seemed to be so much into himself... how everything affected him, how would he deal with things. It took me a while to see that it was all his insecurities that were getting in his way. Luckily Julian stuck it out and made sure that RJ came back to the real world when RJ really needed a wake up call.

I really enjoyed this one and even though I wanted to shake RJ, I actually still enjoyed him the whole book, he was very lucky to have Julian:-) Now Julian was a gem and he was the biggest sweetheart and so patient and sweet with RJ.
3.5 stars
I enjoyed this one. Julian could have been kind of creepy. He did kind of stalk RJ; however, he's such a sweet guy that I can overlook that. Also, there's an orphan, so it gets points for that. Yeah, I'm sappy.

Really a 3.5 star read for me. Not as sexy and drama filled as the first two. Two nice guys finding love and family. I didn't connect as much with these MCs, but still an enjoyable read.
I truly love this series!! Will definitely read this series again.. =)
A bit disjointed at times but still sweet.
I loved the story and the characters so much and I needed my kleenex for all the happy tears at the end.
4.5 stars
Much better than the Charlie book :)
