Synopsis

Two years since Atrous disbanded and the spotlights have long faded to black, Blake Acosta has been coasting on the status quo. And after a reluctant week away, he comes home to find his best friend Luke Dougherty having a meltdown.He takes Luke to the cabins, just the two of them, to rest and regroup, and Blake thinks things were going well. Until it isn’t, and Luke ends their friendship.Blake is sent reeling and has no choice but to deal with the aftermath solo. Forced to look inward and face some hard truths, Blake hits rock bottom, and the only person he needs is nowhere to be found.Luke needs time to get his head and heart in order, and he needs distance from the man he loves but can never have. But when Blake tracks him down, prepared to give him everything he dreamed of, it seems too good to be true.Before they can have a future, they need to unpack the past. And to move forward, they need to first let go. Atrous no longer exists but the music remains, and even when the lights go out, some flames still burn.

Luke hav......more

Safety info, content warnings and tropes down below. I enjoyed most of this book, which surprised me a little bit if I'm honest. After how things were left off after Code Blue, the author clearly not having any plans to write this book (initially, anyway), paired with the fact that I don't love the c......more

Goodreads review by Mal on September 16, 2025

This is finally Blake and Luke’s story. After all the Bluke speculation, obliviously in love, completely loveable men find their HEA. In typical NR Walker style it’s a story written to move you and I won’t be shaking off the effect any time soon, I don’t see myself wanting to. Much more than a typica......more
