After avoiding his hometown for years, Joey Waters reluctantly returns for his parents’ anniversary. Within moments of his arrival, he’s confronted with the ghost of his past: Patrick “Trick” Harrison, the man who’d shattered his heart with just a few cruel words. Joey believed he’d left those painful years behind, but seeing Trick again ignites a whirlwind of emotions he thought he’d buried.
As old wounds break open, Joey is determined to ignore the man who’d caused him so much pain and sent him on a downward spiral in his college years. However, a staggering revelation about Trick forces Joey to reconsider everything he thought he knew. Can the two men overcome their troubled history, or will the scars of the past keep them apart forever?

Joey's Trick is a brother's best friend / enemies to lovers 33k word novella. There is, as always, a HEA in the cards for my two characters.
Joey’s Trick by J.R. Loveless was an angsty read
of unrequited love, misunderstandings, and forgiveness.
Joey lived in a dark place, which he overcame with therapy
and finally confronted his past. Trick, on the other hand lived with a secret
past that confronting was easier said than done. Finally, the two were able to
come to terms and reconcile to move forward.
I enjoyed both characters as they developed on their own and
together. Ms Loveless allowed them to grow, and once they found each
other the steaminess escalated in this quick read.
If you are new to Ms Loveless’ books, don’t hesitate and
grab more of her wonderful works.
