Slow Burn

Impressions are made, whether it's that first glimpse, a random encounter, things you have heard about someone without first meeting them, or any number of things. They all lead to an impression, that first and immediate perception of mind or sensation each person has about another.

You form an unconscious impression, based on your visceral reaction. Many times our reactions and the way we interact is due to how our impressions are colored.

Yet… What goes beyond that impression? What happens when you move beyond it and delve into the deeper reality of who a person is?

Impressions explores the lives of men in the fictional town of Hollisville, California. The complexities, sexuality, and love they find there. Take a journey to explore and unveil the layers that reside behind…Impressions.

Book Five in the Impressions series

After an unexpected kiss, a man finds himself with a dilemma…

Gregory Morris has a problem. He isn’t gay, but he’s attracted to one of his best friends and has no clue what to do about it. Gregory decides the best way is just to kiss him and let nature take its course. With that one kiss, Gregory finds himself wanting his friend even more. Now he just has to prove that he is serious.

Braden Charles notices his friend Gregory seems to be avoiding him and he has no clue what he’s done. When Gregory finally says he wants to talk, Braden is relieved to find out what is wrong, that is until Gregory kisses him. After the kiss, the idea that his friend wants him when he is not gay bothers Braden. He’s not going to be drawn in by a man who is only gay for him—it is myth and will only lead to heartbreak.

Gregory’s next action is something Braden never expected and he has to face the fact that Gregory is serious. Braden has a man who he can see in his life forever but does Gregory think it’s an experiment? Attraction builds in a slow burn that will last forever.
