Brody is so perfect in the way he treasures Isaac and helps him through his trauma. It was truly beautiful. The first person to make Isaac feel safe and treasured and worthy of love. He's his massive sexy teddy bear.
There was so much focus on making Isaac feel comfortable with any form of touch. Brody respected every boundary and continually checked for clear consent. And praise for daysss.

"You're such a beautiful boy, Isaac. So sweet and funny and good. You make me feel good, did you know that?"
"Nobody but you has ever made me want to lose myself inside of them. I just want you to trust me. I want to show you that you can trust me, because I never want to see you cry again. Not because of me, or anyone else."
"He called me baby. Twice. Be still, my horny heart."
"My beautiful fucking boy was a shadow of himself right now, and I wanted to find whatever or whoever had made him this way and rip their spine from their throat. But first I would lie here with him and give him whatever comfort I could offer."
"Whatever happened, you are still the most beautiful boy I've ever met, inside and out. You don't have to go through this alone. I'm right here for you. I won't let anyone hurt you, Isaac."
"You're so damn beautiful, Isaac. I knew your cock would be as pretty as the rest of you."
"I wasn't sure what about me he liked, because when I looked in the mirror, all I saw was a small, skinny guy. Nothing special at all. But he kept calling me beautiful, and I kept believing him."
"Shh, it's okay. You're okay. I've got you, baby. I'm right here. You were so brave for sharing that with me, did you know that? You have so much courage. So much. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. ... You never deserved that. And it's not your fault. You are so fucking strong for surviving something like that."

"Would you still like me if I was an arsonist?" "Baby." He laughed and then pressed his lips to mine. "Tell me what you want to burn and I'll hand you the fucking matches."

This book just ended so abruptly that I'm confused and salty about it. So may edit this review later... Anyway, I enjoyed this story for the most part. I feel like some parts could have been more detailed rather than skipped over or rushed. But I love stories with broken boys who get their happily ever after.
Also thought it was cool to have a book with LGBTQ+ Christian representation. It's the first book I've read with that.

Benjamin claimed Tobias early on when Toby was caught sleeping in one of Benjis buildings. He has Lupus and could not afford his medications or food. Toby technically got kidnapped but was not forced to stay, although he was so weak he couldn't do much about it. By the time he regained his strength, they had an unbreakable bond and love for each other.

"Our hearts beat the same, baby, because they belong together now. The moment yours stops beating, mine will too"
"I was wealthy, baby, but not rich. Not until I met you."
"I am terrified of a life that doesn't include you, baby, so there won't be one. Not ever."
"You would've come for me, right? If I left?" "With guns blazing, baby."
.... FUNNY QUOTES
"Can't you just be a good kidnapper and eat me?"
"You actually got me butterflies. Are you trying to give me Stockholm Syndrome?"
