In this third book in the Five Borough Series by Santino Hassell, we meet Caleb Stone, David's ex. The book begins on New Year's Eve, with Caleb alone and a bit depressed. It doesn't help that he sees what David now has with Raymond, or that Michael and Nunzio are still together. It's a hard night for him, and he does a good job drowning his sorrows in alcohol. (who hasn't been there, done that?) Anyway, Caleb wakes up the next day in Oli's bed with sore, hungover and memory challenged after what could possibly be a life changing event. 
 What follows is an interesting dance between these two men as they deal with the aftermath of that night and struggle to figure out what they mean to each other. Both are not all that open with their feelings, and it's entirely possible that Caleb is looking for something that Oli can't give him, or can he? Does Oli want to take a chance himself? He's been burned before when it comes to relationships. But yet when these two are together there are some sparks that just won't be denied, especially when Oli is focused on helping Caleb explore his sexual self. We're talking sex parties and sex toys here, folks, and Oli definitely wakes up a part of Caleb he's been denying himself. 
 Oli and Caleb both have to figure out what they want, not only from each other but from life. It takes most of the book for them to do that. Since this is Caleb's point of view, Oli is more of a mystery, but both are out of their comfort zone and trying to figure out what they mean to each other. 
 There's a nice subplot regarding Caleb's half brother Aiden and the formation of a new startup which gets some help from other familiar characters. 
 I'm giving this five big bold stars. Santino Hassell creates interesting characters and has them deal with some basic and familiar conflicts. It's the story of the tough truths they have to face about who they are and what they want. Like the first two books in the series, I was drawn in from the first pages and didn't put it down until I hit the end. But most of all, having grown up with three brothers, there is something about how these characters speak to each other that rings so true and familiar to me. There's a cadence to it that pulls me right into the story and lets me fall into the story. 
 Caleb's story is touching, sexy and his "happy for now" relationship made me smile, and I loved that. My only complaint was that I wanted more at the end. 
 I love this series. Great writing, universal conflicts, interesting characters. If you like M/M and aren't' reading Santino Hassell, you should seriously consider getting on that. Strongly Recommended.
