The biggest difference was how dark the struggles were that Matt lived with daily. They had each other to bounce those wayward thoughts with. Having the ability to talk with someone who understood those dynamics was essential. Caleb and Rhys had been best friends, and at one point, lovers, for years. They were both young and had faced being left. But I did like that the author drew Matt and Theo together as friends.
Matt just got dumped on someone who wasn’t even a blood relative.
But, even though Theo had been stuck with his grandparents and they sucked at the loving and supportive part, at least he lived in a home where he was safe and cared for. Yes, both Theo and Matt had been abandoned by their mom’s. I am going to start out that this story is very, very different than Theo and Caleb’s. But can a young man who has always been abandoned learn to trust and lean of the person who could be his “happily ever after”? So, when he met Rhys at a bar he had no expectations but was he wrong because Rhys recognized something special in the younger man. Finally he was abandoned by his best friend Grin, but he was responsible for that mess, or so he believed. First by his father and then by his worthless excuse of a mother. Matt has experienced the pain of being abandoned by those that he trusted and loved. But not the rich life of wild abandonment however.
Theo and Caleb really hooked me in the first book and I had to know more about Rhys, Caleb’s best friend, and his husband Matt. I was really looking forward to this book. Roan Parrish’s pitch-perfect Riven novels can be read together or separately: That means they have to fall in love all over again-and this time, it really will be forever. After secrets are revealed and desires are confessed, Rhys and Matt must learn to trust each other if they’re going to make it. But Rhys loves Matt fiercely, and he’ll go to hell and back to triumph over Matt’s fears. When Rhys returns, he finds Matt twisted by doubt. But when Rhys leaves to go on tour for his new album, Matt finds himself haunted by the ghosts of his past. Suddenly, Matt finds himself living a life he never thought possible: safe and secure in the arms of a man who feels like home. Their romance is unexpected, intense, and forever-at least, that’s what their vows promise. Matt and Rhys come from different worlds, but when they meet, their chemistry is incendiary. After a childhood of abandonment, he never imagined someone might love him-much less someone like Rhys Nyland, who has the voice of an angel, the looks of a god, and the worship of his fans. Matt Argento knows what it feels like to be alone. After a whirlwind romance, a man with a painful past learns to trust the musician who makes him believe in happy endings.
