"Whatever happens in the future, whatever we become in life, know you’re the best thing that ever happened to me."

Taking up shop in the former kosher bakery, Wilder Torres breathes new life into old traditions, but there’s a darkness about him most of the residents in Cherry Creek don’t want to touch. He’s a kind and quiet man, but Wilder hides scars under long sleeves from a vicious attack that nearly took his life, and he’s determined never to let anyone close enough to hurt him ever again.

And then he meets Lorenzo Moretti, a stranger sitting on a park bench, looking like the world had just kicked him in the gut.

Wilder has seen that look before, for years whenever he looked in the mirror. He knows the disaster that lies ahead, but he can’t deny wanting, even if he knows it’ll be hard work. And Wilder also Lorenzo deserves someone to remain steady and love him through it all. Even if he can’t find the ability to love himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Sequel to "Love Him Free!

A Great Sequel to "Love Him Free!

One of the main characters is Lorenzo, Rocco's (from "Love Him Free") brother. The other main character is Wilder, who leased the bakery and apartment above it from Simon (Rocco's lover).

I loved that this story included related characters from the previous book. The angst and poor self-confidence/self-image are real. And how they work through it together is the story.

All the characters are well-developed, and their interactions make the story too. There were things that I didn't see coming, which kept me glued to reading this book to the end.

I really enjoyed this book, and highly recommend it!

Though this book is mainly focused on several gay couples and with different disabilities - a town with only 4 women (??) It is well written, sensitive,
displaying the characters experiences from the disabled's points of view. Too many disabilities in one book becomes a bit depressing

5.0 out of 5 stars Slow sweet slide into love
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2020

I enjoy fluffy books that are pretty much pure fantasy. This is not one of those books. The MCs are so real you could reach out and touch them. Real emotions, real trauma, real brokenness and real change. **Trigger warning-Wilder has been through major trauma in the past, including rape and attempted murder. He has put himself back together almost single-handedly. When he meets Lorenzo, he sees something of himself in him. Lorenzo feels unworthy of kindness and love, and it takes real work to open himself up to either. Neither man plans to fall in love, and that’s makes their sweet slide from pity to friends to everything even better. This is a slow burn, cautious romance. The way these two men accept each other right where they are and yet inspire each other to be better is lovely. Learning to trust and let people in is hard work, but Wilder and Lorenzo fight for their happy ending. EM Lindsey once again does an amazing job of giving us a wonderful cast of real, imperfect characters in Cherry Creek. I’m so excited for Raphael’s story!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wilder and Lorenzo ❤️
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2020

Every time I start a Lindsey book I’m ready to be hit with an emotional punch. This one was no exception and from the beginning my heart absolutely broke for Wilder and definitely hurt for Lorenzo. This story was so much more than a romance. It was a story of growth, of taking back what was taken away from you. A story of figuring out how to just be, something that seems so simple, but this story showed that no matter who you are or where you come from, it’s often one of the most difficult things to do. I loved the romance too, as it was slow, and it was deep, and there was a friendship on top of that love that made it satisfying and true. I also greatly appreciated that it even the people of Cherry Creek were telling Lorenzo that he couldn’t just expect love or purpose just because he was in Cherry Creek. These stories make the town seem idyllic, but it’s nice that the characters are able to bring it back down to earth. I absolutely adored getting to see more Dmitri and to meet Raphael and can’t wait for there story next.

So first off I'm gonna start with the allergy "freakout" Lorenzo has. (As someone who has a sibling with a food allergy) though it got a little out of hand. I agree. You don't understand true fear until you come across a situation where the consequences are so severe and in the moment it all comes crashes down around you. I have have. But the reactions of the towns people were horrid. How would they feel if it was their child, or sibling or family member. You would fight and defend them. Fear makes people do crazy shiz and it may not always be right but it's not fair to act like your morally superior when your actions were below reproach.

I hated Wilder's family, even his sister was off putting and I just wanted to smack his mother on both side if her fricked up face. She was no mother, she was a utter piece of crap. And his father telling him he meant nothing. Disgusting. And his sister's little cutesy apology came far to late. Bish. Again the one complaint I have is EML's ability to drag on for longer than necessary. But I do love Lorenzo and Wilder together.

5.0 out of 5 stars This story delivered. Great characters & story.

I love how Love Him Steady is a twist on Love Him Free.The story pivots on the Moretti brothers and the bakery.
Instead of Rocco Moretti, Deaf porn star, bursting in to town to upend Simon's static life at the bakery... Lorenzo Moretti, man-without-passion, stumbles his way into Wilder's (who is losing his hearing) quiet life at the bakery he bought from Simon.
But Lorenzo and Wilder's story is a completely unique tale. I love that we get to see adults in their 30s and 40s still searching for meaning and purpose in their lives in a way that is different from how those quests are explored in one's 20s.
I love the relationships they have with their friends in Cherry Creek, and that not all the queer people (like the ones we met in previous books) automatically are friends with each other.
I love this town and the people I have gotten to know. I look forward to reading more in this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Healing and love
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2022

I've really enjoyed the On The Market series. We've met Wilder before as the new bake shop owner. He's a loner with a difficult past who finally gets his HEA. In this book, he meets Lorenzo, the brother of Rocco, a MC in the first book in the series. Wilder was raised with an abusive mother in the deaf community. Later, he experienced severe abuse at the hands of an ex-boyfriend. Lorenzo hasn't experienced that type of tragedy, but he has never found direction in his life and he doesn't feel worthy of friendship and love. Together, they face their issues, learn to heal, and develop the tenderest of true love.

I love the none assuming love for his work that Wilder has and how Lirenzo finds piece by becoming friends with Raphael.

I really like that Lorenzo and Wilder fall in love together and support each other while respecting their traumas and limits.

It’s a good story and a great way to pass time a get to read another sweet piece of love story from Cherry Creek.

It's beautiful to watch Wilder and Lorenzo find their homes, but I think I loved the friendships in this even more - beautiful, affectionate friendships between men when we're so used seeing to the whole "bro" friendship limitations (not necessarily in this series, but in general).
