I read this book as part of a readathon that encouraged me to read a romance that is outside my comfort zone. I do not read many male/male romances, so I chose this one. The actual romance in the book is decent, but I find the context of the mens' lives and their families to be too overdone. I just cannot envision this scenario actually happening, which usually turns me off of a book.

This is the story of Max and Silas, both of whom have major trauma and/or drama in their background and currently in their lives. Max is a recovering drug addict who spent time selling his body on the streets, and Silas is a billionaire's heir who is also a recovering addict and spent six months at a conversion therapy camp as a teenager. The two of them cross paths when Max becomes a private nurse for Silas's ailing father.

Honestly, this book is just too much for me. The plot involves romance, business intrigue, family drama, a fake engagement, and more. The characters are recovering drug addicts, past prostitutes, conversion therapy survivors, family outcasts, billionaires, billionaire's son with Asperger's syndrome, homophobic fathers, etc. I would have preferred a simplified story that put the focus more on the growing love between Max and Silas and less on all the drama around them.
