This is a book in the Bluewater Bay series, but easily enjoyable as a standalone. 
 Cal is a 24 y/o man trying valiantly to support his ailing great uncle, Nascha, and his strong, mentally challenged brother, Keir. Keir has many emotional/psychological/intellectual issues which require medications that Cal cannot always afford though Call works full time as a busboy at the local casino-hotel and also as a freelance fisherman. Nascha has wanted to sell his property to his tribe, knowing the waterfront property will fetch enough money to care for both Nascha and Keir while allowing Cal to live an unencumbered life, but Cal won't allow him to, because he won't fail in his duty to the family. 
 Cal is injured in the beginning of the story, which sets their precarious budget into complete disaster. Still, Cal attempts to soldier on. 
 Avery has a boyfriend who doesn't respect him, and parents who don't respect his out gay lifestyle--always referring to his BF as a "friend" and expecting he'll fail in his endeavors. In the aftermath of the breakup, Avery plans to move out of state--to Bluewater Bay where his favorite show, Wolf's Landing, is filmed. He is well-known as a fan fic writer for the show, and has many "virtual" friends via his involvement in the Wolf's Landing websites. His trip to Bluewater Bay is hampered by car trouble and cash problems, and he's rescued by Cal and Keir--who bond over Avatar and Wolf's Landing trivia. 
 Cal and Avery form a cautious connection. It is sweet, and tender. Which is a huge departure for both men. Cal isn't sure he can give Avery what he needs, and Avery's afraid to lose his heart, but they are so lonely, and need this connection desperately. 
 The writing is so vivid, with powerful emotions, real problems, and deep connections. Life is hard, and it gets harder for Cal before the end. Still, the end is more sweet than bitter, with realistic resolutions for Nascha, Keir, Cal and Avery. You will not be disappointed, I believe, by tagging along on this one. Some yummy sexytimes, but the focus is always on the emotions and not the physicality.
