For Eden, life revolves around making sure his sister and niece are taken care of while building his landscaping business. Love certainly hasn’t been a priority. From the moment he meets his new client, his outlook on what’s important changes.
For Adam, the last two years have been spent helping his best friend, Maggie, grieve for her late husband while helping take care of her kids. Between his work at the hospital, and supporting his friend, finding time for himself has not been his priority. When Eden knocks on his door one summer morning, he knows life will never be the same.
Mistakes and misunderstandings are always difficult to navigate. Can Adam convince Eden he’s still the only man for him before it’s too late?

Another addition to the Trade
Me Collection from Hot Tree
Publishing, Still You is a
relatively short but entertaining m/m romance.
Adam is supporting his best friend Maggie and helping her
raise her three children. As a busy ER surgeon on the night shift this leaves
him with little spare time to hook up let alone establish a relationship with a
man. Then Maggie hires a new landscaper to sort out her yard and his life gets
an unexpected turnaround.
Eden (EJ) is quickly establishing his landscaping and
carpentry business. When he goes to his new client, Maggie’s home, he is
shocked by the attraction zinging between him and her ‘husband’ which is a big
mistake to take any action on. Or is it?
This was an engaging read with some elements of angst and a soupçon
of hot steamy passion. The first half was quite slow on the uptake with lots of
assumptions and misunderstandings taking place but after a six month separation
things started to gather speed on the romance side.
I liked both characters and although the misunderstandings
did have me eye rolling, the build-up of their relationship was lovely to see
revealed. I didn’t like the spin on the names though (Eden, Eve and Adam?) and
found it bit too twee for my personal liking. I would have liked the second part to have
been in more depth and the ending therefore felt a little rushed with a need
for an epilogue. Maggie also had three children but we never met two of them.
Strange for them not to be included when Adam lived with them.
Overall though I did enjoy this and I am loving this
collection of m/m romance. Four stars.
