Cricket-lean, charismatic Nolte is a great foil for the ruddy regality of Bower a Vice-Chancellor in the making if ever I saw one. Each book can be read on its own-but why would you do that, when you could read them all together? Savage Grace is a 125,000 word m/m romance with second chance, out-for-you, and hurt/comfort themes. With amazing serendipity both Gibson Nolte (Cladakis) and Humphrey Bower (Bavaro), who performed in the original production, were able to reprise their roles. Savage Grace is the 3rd book in the Murphy Brothers series, which follows a family of brothers as they find their sweet, snarky, and steamy happily-ever-afters on small-town Summersea Island. No one’s ever told him he’s worth fighting for. And Julian’s still hiding-still convinced he has to face all his demons alone. In high school, we had to hide what we were to each other. And I don’t last a month before he’s back in my bed. But I don’t even make it a week before I’m on my knees in front of him. When work takes me back to Summersea unexpectedly, I promise myself I’ll steer clear. He saved me when I thought I was beyond saving-then turned his back when I tried to return the favor. Julian was my first love and my first heartbreak. I left Summersea Island 10 years ago, nursing wounds from a past I’d rather forget. But since when do I care about consequences?Ĭonnor: If there’s such a thing as a soul, Julian Jackson owns mine.
