Story Blurb:

Tony Wilcox, the quiet keyboard player for Ivory Tower, has always believed he was straight. A sexual encounter with his best friend leaves Tony questioning his heart and the unwavering attraction he has for Jared. Living and working together is no longer enough for Tony… he wants more. He wants Jared as his.

Jared Baker, the bass player for the band, has a past that is getting in the way of him fully embracing what he wants… Tony. He’s tried everything to create distance between them, but none of it eliminated the feelings he has developed for Tony.

Trying to suppress the anger and confusion from Jared withdrawing from his life, Tony does his best to get beyond the feelings he has for his friend. When Jared becomes deathly ill, it’s Tony that he calls for help and Tony has to decide if he can heal Jared without giving away too much of his heart.

Can best friends find their way to true love and discover if they were meant for each other, or will the challenges of life force them to choose separate paths?

Excerpt:

“We need to toast first,” Tony scolded.

“Okay, here’s to owning real estate together,” Jared said quickly.

“Is that the best you got?” Tony asked.

Jared swirled the liquid around in his glass and thought about Tony’s question. That wasn’t the best he had by any means, and he hoped he had many, many years to show Tony over and over the best he really did have to offer him. Just thinking about their years ahead made a lump form in Jared’s throat. He’d never imagined being one half of a couple, or having something long term with a lover, but Tony changed all that and now Jared couldn’t imagine anything else. “You are the best of me,” Jared said softly. “You are the one truly meant for me. I am certain of that as much as my next breath. You are my ‘forever,’ T, and starting this journey here with you in this house we now own together…I feel so lucky.” Jared’s voice trailed off as emotion chocked his throat.

“Weren’t you the one that said luck didn’t have anything to do with us?” Tony questioned.

Jared nodded. “I did say that, but Jesus, Tony, having you in my life has totally rocked my world in the best possible way. I honestly never thought I’d have this kind of feeling or relationship in my life. All that searching and it always came right back to you.”

Christina’s Review:

Meant For Me by Ann Lister

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

i’m torn on this book. i liked most of it. most of the angst of the couple happened in the first half of the book. it was pretty heavy and brought tears to my eyes a couple of times. i liked wheland in this book. i didn’t like getting more of danni…i’m over her. i liked seeing cooper and jayson again…even if it was only a little bit.

i really like how close tony and jared are…and going from friends to lovers is always sweet to me. there is a bond formed that is hard to break, even though jared came really close. i really like both these characters, there is really nothing to complain about. i liked the development of their relationship but really outside the initial angst, there wasn’t much to their story. a little heartbreak toward the end.

there was some foreshadowing for the next book which really doesn’t sound appealing to me but we’ll see.
