Synopsis on GR:
Aaron Costa’s summer was all planned. Despite having to remodel the family lake house, it would be a vacation of sorts, and he had every intention of enjoying it—until the friend who was supposed to help him got injured and left him in a lurch. He decides to take the opportunity to bond with his son and hires Julian and his roommate, Malachi, to assist.
As a broke college student, Malachi could use the money, and spending the summer with Aaron for eye candy sounds like a dream. "Look but don’t touch" becomes his motto. But when Julian starts flaking on his responsibilities and Malachi and Aaron are forced to spend long hours alone together, their mutual attraction is impossible to resist.
Aaron can’t fight the temptation sexy Malachi presents. But more than their age difference stands in their way, not the least of which is Aaron’s semi-closeted status and the fact that he’s never openly discussed his sexuality with his son. He has no idea how Julian will react when he learns his father is not only gay, he’s also dating his best friend
[DBML Event: I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review]
Aaron and Malachi are a very hot but sweet couple! They're quite believable together and I liked how, age difference notwithstanding, they're equal in their relationship!
Aaron and Malachi are attracted to each other right from the start but they try to resist that attraction since Malachi is the best friend of Aaron's son...which means that it's just the right amount of drama and forbidden to want each other even more! When the old look-but-don't-touch strategy fails and they end having sex over and over again, they try the let's-keep-it-secret approach which - surprise surprise - doesn't last long! Aaron, at that point, is forced to face his son and his lies/omissions so, to fix that big mess, he lets Malachi go away...not for long though: the author was definitively nice enough to plan (and write us) an HEA for those two :)
In the end, I really don't have anything to complain about this book; moreover for a relatively short read, the author did a very good job in developing Aaron & Malachi relationship! Wood, Screws, & Nails is a solid 3 stars read to me.
At last, I'd like to thank Piper Vaughn and the M/M Romance Group here on GR for the opportunity to read this book for free.
