#LoveIsLove

As a child, I trusted no one.
Then I found my best friends.
They gave me a family and saved me from a life of abuse that still has me messed up.

Then one of those best friends captured my heart.
Lincoln, tough yet tender, a walking contradiction.
He loves me too—flaws and all.
He’s the most patient man on the earth and understands my PTSD.

What he doesn’t understand is why our being intimate makes me feel “dirty”.
He’s not one of the men who abused me, and he’d never hurt me. I know this. I believe it.
Still, the “dirty” creeps in even though I know what we do together is anything but.

He’s here now and he’s going to stay.
It’s time for me to talk to someone professionally.
I need to shed my unhealthy past in order to have a healthy future with the man I love.
If I don’t, I just might lose the best thing that’s ever happened to me—and there’s not enough therapy in the world to get me through that.

REFRAIN is a m/m romance that has multiple POVs, real life struggles and battles, abuse, new life, and tragedy.

    I was hooked on the Rockstars series after reading Falling Down and quite frankly, I didn't think the rest would be as good as the first. Anne proved me wrong. Each book that followed intertwined drama, humor, and sexiness and made me feel as if the characters were part of my family. I was not sure if I would like Refrain because I have only tried to read one other M/M book that was more cliched porn than substance. Refrain captures the emotion of two individuals who finally "come out" and declare their love to family and friends. They stand together when the world proves to be not so understanding and endure the harsh realities that many in the LBGTQ community deal with every day. Ethan and Linc's story is not only about two men loving each other physically, it is about two hearts bound by a strong loving bond that has withstood the test of time.

    I was pulled into this story from the beginning and stayed there until I had finished every single word that had been written. All the time I had my mini movie playing in my head.
    There are surprises throughout the story, some are large and some are small, some you will see coming where as with others you won't. But each and everyone holds equal importance within the story and adds to your enjoyment of the book
    I went on an emotional rollercoaster ride with this book, I found myself crying at place, because I was so happy for the characters. I felt each and every emotion that the characters went through. I did find myself holding my breath while reading certain parts, I know i cried way more than any character in this book. But thats nothing new.
    With each and every book in this series i have always felt as if I was right there with the character and I felt that way with this book.
    I have to admit this is one of my top favourite Rockstar series.
    Anne Mercier has done herself, her characters and her readers an exceptional book, as far as i am concerned, this story is one of my favourites, I love both of the characters in this story, I feel as if I know them personally.

    So worth the wait. This story is about Ethan and Linc's life long love.

    As a child Ethan had been abused and ran away from his home to stay with Xander and his father. There house is where everyone hung out, their safe place. Linc of course was one of the crew, he was also everyones protector, and became Ethans safe place.

    As they grow older, Linc becomes more than just Ethans safe place, he becomes his everything. And Ethan is the only person Linc can see himself with, as far as Linc is concern Ethan belongs to him.

    This book is their journey from childhood friend to adults who not only need but love each other and how their friends and family respond and support them.

    Such a wonderful love story, one I shall re-read multiple times.

    In the beginning I’m going to honestly say I didn’t think this book was for me. I was sceptical on Ethan an Lincs story, I’m so glad I didn’t put it down an leave it unread, I’m glad I kept reading. I cried at a few points laughed a lot an I thoroughly enjoyed it. Once again Anne a amazing book 😘
