A single, grieving father.
A manny with a big heart.
Two kids who need them both.
When Dean loses his wife, he wonders how he’s supposed to raise his children alone. Meeting Owen is like a wake-up call... Owen was the lifeline keeping them from drowning… he still is.
Owen loves taking care of Dean and the kids, but he's broken the manny’s cardinal rule: No falling for the father. Especially a straight one.
After six years of one-sided emotions, he knows he can't stay.
Faced with losing Owen, Dean must confront his true feelings for the man who's helped heal his family, and his heart. He only hopes he hasn't waited too long to find the happiness they all deserve.
It's time for a change — and another wake-up call for Dean, before he loses his second chance at love.
Holding On to His Manny is a fabulous book by Rheland Richmond. The third book in the Amber Falls series, it is easily read as a standalone.
Owen and Dean make for a fun couple, and I adore the way everything unfolds.
Their story is one of a fantastic and sweet gay awakening romance. Their friendship has developed naturally over the years, after Dean hired Owen to be his manny. But the years have just drawn Owen more and more to his boss, as he's now madly in love with him.
What follows is a riveting tale of both men struggling with Owen's decision to move on and leave his position. Owen is heartbroken, but he just can't work anymore for a man he loves, knowing they will never be together.
And poor Dean. He wants love, but can't click with anyone. He's clearly stunned and shaken by Owen's decision to leave. And then...well, just read to find out how everything develops.
The writing is fabulous, flowing perfectly and full of emotion. Written in alternating 1st person pov, the characters immediately come to life and the reader easily follows their motivations throughout.
Holding On to His Manny is a great read. Rheland Richmond entertains throughout this combo of employee/boss, friends to lovers, and age gap romance. I couldn't put it down.
