Every time I pick up an EM Lindsey book, I know that my heart is going to be wrenched apart and put back together. They have a skillful way of emoting that makes you be with the characters and I love it.
Lorenzo and Wilder’s story is exactly like that.
Lorenzo goes to Cherry Creek to find out how his brother became happy. Wilder is the one who bought Simon’s bakery.
Lorenzo doesn’t have a good beginning in Cherry Creek but he settles and find his niche in Wilder. He learns to relax especially after an unfortunate incident. There is humour in this book.
Yes this book is about their love and falling in love but it’s also about finding yourself and what makes you spark. I love that.
Highly highly recommend this book.

5 stars more than 5; if it were possible
Oh sweet, caring, loyal and beautiful Wilder. You absolutely stole my heart.
Dealing with a difficult and tragic past, Wilder has finally reclaimed his life in the little town of Cherry Creek. He has his own gluten free cupcakery and steadfast friends to have drinks with on Thursdays. Believing that love and romance is unattainable for himself, Wilder offers a water bottle and a cupcake to new stranger in town.
Lorenzo has never had to work for anything once his little brother filled his bank account. Even with his substantial funds he's longing for more out of life. Still needing to figure out who he is at his core, Lorenzo decides to visit the town that changed his brother's life; hoping that by some chance, Cherry Creek can offer a little insight.
I loved Lorenzo and Wilders story. It was remarkably tragic and heartfelt within the first couple of pages. The growth that both men showed throughout the pages prove that anyone can develop into a person much more than what they feel they deserve. It is a story of hope for when you feel you cannot overcome your past and also a story of acceptance of how the little things in life can be extraordinary on their own.
What starts with a journey of self discover for Lorenzo, quickly becomes more then Wilder ever thought he could hold dear.

Possibly my favourite of this series
It's beautiful to watch Wilder and Lorenzo find their homes, but I think I loved the friendships in this even more - beautiful, affectionate friendships between men when we're so used seeing to the whole "bro" friendship limitations (not necessarily in this series, but in general).

I enjoyed this. It was nice having just a partial chapter for both Wilder and Lorenzo to deal with the backstory.... 2 chapters vs the 9 chapters of Book 3. I enjoyed the pacing of this one. I enjoyed the relationships with the side characters. I liked this book, I just didn't love it as much as the first two.
The editing is a little sloppy in this one. One thing that really stood out was the age of both Wilder and Lorenzo. Lorenzo refers to himself as 42, but a few chapters later as 43. Which isn't as bad as Wilder, who in the second chapter states he is 22 at the time of his attack, but later, it said the last time his ex touched him was at 25. Seven years passed since then, so depending on whether he was 22 or 25 at the time of his attack (which 25 makes more sense as he was with his ex for years, but only met him in college), he is now either 29 or 32.
One thing I am not crazy about, is that it is becoming more and more apparent that I'm going to have to read Kate Hawthorne's Room to Love series. The Motel brothers have made quite a few appearances in this series, but the characters in the Room to Love series seem to be making more and more appearances. I don't even know who Leonidas is (other than he is in Book 5 of Room to Love). Kate Hawthorne is not an author who's writing I enjoy, but I'd rather not feel like half the recurring characters are strangers.
I also don't recall the incident Dimitri, Gwen and James hinted at with Owen. I know Owen was going through some stuff in On the Market #2, but it was background and not resolved. But Dimitri and Raphael are in the next book, so I suppose this is like Parker and Ronan, who were prominently featured in Book 2, but we didn't get their story until Book 3. I just feel like I'm supposed to know more about the two of them than I do, which is annoying, especially since that's not the case.
I do feel like E.M. Lindsey, Kate Hawthorne and on a lesser note, E.M. Denning need to sit down and make a character map, because trying to keep track of all these characters and all their series from multiple authors is getting confusing.
You have On the Market, with Antoine of Book #2 being the brother of Marcel, who is of Book #2 of Breaking the Rules series, which has many appearances from the cast of Iron and Works series. You have the "standalone" Just Say When, which features Enzo and Tristan, who pop up from time to time in On the Market. You have Cloudy with a Chance of Love from E.M. Lindsey,Kate Hawthorne and E.M. Denning, featuring Colin, Spencer and Max, who make many appearacnes in On the Market. You have the Motel brothers and their million partners from Kate Hawthorne's Room to Love series, who are featured rather prominently in On the Market.
I'm really not a fan of when authors have series that are all kind of spin-offs from each other, that in theory you can read separately, but you end up being a little clueless on a bunch of little things that adds up to one large annoyance.... but when you throw a few more authors into the mix and have this web of series all connected, it does make me question how attached to this series I actually am.
