Vic Degrassi is a baker on the rise, and it's all thanks to his rare ability to makeâ??and keepâ??his New Year's resolutions. Whether it's losing weight, giving up smoking, or graduating from culinary school, Vic goes after what he wantsâ??and gets it. This year?

So when their flirtation turns into a steamy night together, Vic and Robin have to figure out if they're friends with benefits or lovers in the making, and if Robin is ready for something more than just a rebound.

Well once again this was far more angsty than one would guess from such a benign cover and title. Way more than a simple, superficial romance, throw in some weighty issues like drug use, unaccepting families, and homelessness to add some emotional gravitas.

I loved the doubt and insecurity and vulnerability between Vic and Robin, and despite said benign cover and title, make no mistake about the hot factor. Yum. Eee.

This pretty much solidified that Annabeth Albert will be an automatic buy for me from here on out.

Two insecure men find love and emotional healing through devotion to each other. Heavy on the angst but it needed to be. ( )

Well done. I wasn't sure I would like this one as well, but I was pleasantly surprised that Vic was so engaging. This one seems shorter but is well done. I'd have loved to meet Vic's family, and would've loved him doing more work on the house, for instance. But nothing critical is missing, and the ending made me tear up, so that's a win. ( )

Change of pace from the first book. Both guys were damaged in their own way with serious self-image issues. ( )
