Patrick and Josh have been friends for some time now and while Patrick’s life has been an open book, he knows nothing about Josh’s family. All that changes when the two go back to Wyoming for the summer.

While Dakota’s life didn’t turn out the way he planned, he has made peace with the changes he was forced to make. Now the one-time-teacher-turned-rancher is hoping to strengthen the bonds with his son when he returns home for the summer. Although he knows Josh is bringing a friend with him, he is unprepared for the feelings Patrick brings forth.

When fans of author D.J. Manly buy one of his stories, they know to expect a story full of intense passion and angst. Last Call, the author’s latest release, will not disappoint. Readers will feel the chemistry between Patrick and Dakota from the very beginning. While the readers know these two are meant for each other, the characters do not and their relationship is not a smooth one. The age difference between the two men becomes a point that may just keep them apart, as well as some events in Dakota’s past. At times heart-wrenching, this story has become my favorite Manly story to date. Kudos should also go out to Martine Jardin for an absolutely gorgeous cover that is sure to grab the reader’s attention as they browse for something to read.
