Who would you become if you lost the only person who ever mattered?
For twenty-six year old Dylan Hopkins, the answer is easy. He’s become no one. Memories of the happier times are all he has left as he finds himself meandering numbly through his now dull life. Though he cares about his work and family dearly, he’s yet to let himself find love again. Afraid of letting go of what he once had, Dylan chooses to keep his heart buried, where it belongs, having died a long time ago.
Conner Michelson is about to change everything Dylan knows. He’s every bit the bad boy persona - tatted up, ex-MMA fighter, but after an injury leaves him unable to fight, he has to rethink his goals. Having just opened his own gym, Conner can cross his first major life accomplishment off his very short list. Next up: find a man he can settle down with and build a family. Seems simple enough - a dream most people have, but when he meets Dylan, his carefree, easy-going life is thrown into a tailspin.
Determined to keep Dylan in his life, Conner vows to resurrect Dylan's long ago buried heart and let love live once more.

I loved this book!
I recommend you have a box of tissues, because it is guaranteed to make you cry. The story starts out with Dylan and Shane as teenagers, struggling with their feelings for each other. Shane's life at home is a nightmare, and his journey will break your heart. Dylan's guilt over losing Dylan leaves him dead inside, keeping everyone at a distance.
Eight years later, Connor comes into Dylan's life and works to bring Dylan back to life. Dylan's guilt makes it incredibly difficult, but Connor does not give up. It was wonderful to see Connor breaking down Dylan's walls and fully enjoying life and love again.
Even though most of the characters are mentioned in the previous books in the series, this book can be read as a standalone. However, I am sure that you will love this book so much, you will want to read the Melissa's other books! This is the only M/M in the series.
Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream.
Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born.
