I have grown to love this Market Garden series, for a fun and light type of read this series has been my “go to” in between more intense stories. This book was not light, this story had substance and depth and I loved it!
Like the blurb states Frank has resigned himself to being single. He spends his time with friends and his paintball group. Since the death of his partner he has kept himself separate, alone. He doesn’t hate his life, he has the Market Garden, good friends and good times. But, h ...more

So, up until now, the Market Garden books have been--for me--some fun, kinky reads. This book breaks that mold--in a really good way. Anyone who knows me knows i'm kind of a sucker for the emo stuff, and this book totally went there.

Ok, this one is my favorite. I fell in love with Frank. This story revolves around the life of the owner of Market Garden and his new Rentboy, Brandon/Stefan (the American). I loved the introduction of Geoff, Mike and Emily. We learned more about Raoul the bartender and got a glimpse of Nick, Tristan and Jared.
The story starts with Nick retiring and Raoul bringing in Stefan. He is the buzz cut military boy from the US that leaves America for reasons that end up binding Frank and Stefan for life ...more
