Burden (Love, Unexpected Book 2) Kindle Edition

A Love, Unexpected Tale

They never knew what hit them.

A hooker with a heart, falling for a Vice cop? This is no Hollywood movie, and if they want a happily ever after, it's not going to be easy.

Detective Randy Michaels is back with Vice, working to help NYC crack down on its prostitution problem. When he suspects Jesse Bryant of soliciting, Randy is torn between duty and his knowledge of what put Jesse on the streets. Jesse is clearly struggling, and he isn’t the only one. Recent events have forced Randy to question his sexuality, and a shocking encounter with Jesse plunges him into a crisis of conscience.

Jesse didn’t think his life could get any worse. His family cut all support, his education is on hold, and he’s surviving the only way he knows—selling himself on the streets. Of all the people who could have offered him a helping hand, why did it have to be Randy?

Two men carrying their own personal burdens: How long will it take them to realize that what they really need is each other?

    Sequel to Debt, where we were introduced to Randy, a vice cop, and Jessie a hooker who loves sex.

    An awakening story for Randy, who believed his entire life he was strictly heterosexual, and priorities story for Jessie, who has struggled since being disowned by his family, brings these two together in a way that will leave you flushed and panting!

    These characters are so well written, you can feel their emotions as they struggle to become couple.

    I’m already strumming my fingers for the next installment!

    Highly recommended.

    This is another great book by KC Wells. I picked up this book because--well, it’s KC Wells, do I have to say more?—but I didn’t realize it’s the sequel to Debt. Burden picks up where Debt ended, and even though I haven’t read the first book, I could easily follow the story. From the first page, I was swept into the lives of Randy and Jesse and got a rather good insight into what’s happened in Debt.
    Randy has worked as an undercover in the place where Jesse earned his living as a hooker. Having completed his task and arrested the culprits, Randy meets Jesse again at the courthouse where the trial against the Black Lounge owners begins.
    What follows is a sweet, slow-burn love story between Randy and Jesse. Once again, KC Wells nailed the characterization of these men. Randy, the former undercover cop, who slowly begins to see Jesse as more than a friend, although he’s always thought he was straight. Thinking back on his time in the Black Lounge and with help from his neighbor, Owen, he comes to acknowledge his sexuality, without stumbling but in a natural way.
    Jesse has always been smitten by Randy, and he’s over the moon that Randy finally sees him in a different light. At the same time, he knows that they won’t ever work as long as he’s an escort.
    The chemistry between Randy and Jesse was tangible from the beginning. Even with them being “just” friends they had that unmistakable link. The slow dancing around each other was fun to watch, and you just knew that first kiss would happen.
    There is a bit of angst between the lovers, but it’s entirely appropriate to the story. I understand why Jesse did what he did. Jesse is a sweet guy who only wants the best for others above his own happiness. Thankfully, the author kept it to the bare minimum, so we have a very lovely happy ending.
    This book is the sequel to Debt and can be read as a stand-alone. You might want to read Debt first though as it will give you more understanding of the back story and get acquainted with the characters.

    I’m so glad to see all these guys again. This story couldn’t have started off or ended better. I think the only thing that makes this sad for me, is it brings up a harsh reality. Yeah, the brothel and part of the ring may have been shut down, the bad guys put away, but what happens to the workers once it’s over? So many don’t know any other life or have any place to go after it’s all over and they fall through the cracks. I love that these books are fictional and there’s a happily ever after, but let’s not forget the ones who don’t get theirs.

    Ok, I will quit being sad now. I am, of course, in love with this book and series. I was so happy to see this was going to be Randy and Jesse’s story, after reading them in book 1. They needed some happiness, along with everyone else, after all that mess.

    After being in that brothel, Randy’s eyes got opened in a lot of ways. Especially after they shut it down and he saw what happened to a lot of the people that worked in it or others. His mission now in Vice was to stop the johns and pimps, but also the prostitutes. And after seeing that some of these guys, MOST of these guys, were just trying to survive, he didn’t know what to do anymore. And seeing Jesse at the trial, just brought up more things he didn’t know what to deal with. For someone who always said he was straight, he knew now he really wasn’t. He was trying to come to terms with it, but at a sex party with his neighbor Owen, he didn’t think he could go through it. He decided to try, until he saw who was being ‘rented’ for the night. And his anger was unreal. At himself, at Owen, at Jesse and at the whole dang situation. He has to make a stand for who he is and wants or let it go.

    I wanted for these guys to be with somebody to give them what they need. Them being together was going to be perfect. Randy needs someone to show him and allow him to be who he truly is and Jesse needs someone who can accept him, past and all. But it’s a complicated situation for both of them. Yes, Jesse loves sex but it’s not the fun he was looking for from before. Now he’s just trying to survive. And not be homeless. This isn’t the life he wanted for forever. He wants to finish school, settle down, be happy. But how could the vice cop he wants ever want him?

    Randy is just as torn. He was hoping Jesse hadn’t turned to that lifestyle. He wants to help, but Jesse won’t let him. And who can blame him to a point? He doesn’t want to be ‘kept’. Randy wouldn’t want that if he was in that position either. It’s also a definite conflict of interest, seeing as it’s his job to actually arrest Jesse for what he does. So what do they do?

    Thankfully, they have good friends to steer them right.

    I am so ready to see the next book, seeing as who it’s going to be. He so needs a story. I love all these guys. They are so real. So fun. They bring the pages to life and leave you wanting more. It’s been such a pleasure to be able to get to know these guys. I can’t wait to see them again.

    Love this author and I looked forward to reading Burden...but it was just flat and disappointing for me. I got the physical attraction from both sides....I even got Randys sexual discovery...and the few times out as buddies seemed sweet, it was a great start. Then it fell apart....Randy sees Jesse at a sex party getting well and truly used....Randy leaves but Jesse stays and is with multiple partners and even a DP. Jesse leaves that party after a briefly cleaning up to confront Randy....doesn't talk about being a hooker...no talk of feelings outside of lust...but Jesse is indignant about Randy being there. They end up in bed going at least twice....after all the sex Jesse just had at the party... It was so ick! There should have been money left on the table because how was that different than any other john? Jesse freaks and leaves the state...Randy finds him a month later. They are in love...Randy totally up-roots his life for Jesse and I still get nothing more from Jesse other than he likes sex. Where is the connection? Compromise? Romance? Communication? Relationship outside of the bedroom? None of that. Sorry but not anywhere near where these MCs could have gone.

    I love this series by Kc Wells.
    Dept was awesome, so is Burden.
    And I really hope for at least one more book.

    Jesse worked at the Black Lounge Club until the day they closed after a police action.
    Now he finds shelter with friends and has to earn his money as an escort and on the street. He also meets again
    .
    Detective Randy Michaels, whom he got to know during his undercover job at the Black Lounge Club. Jesse is in love, but Randy is completely heterosexual. At least he claims.
    .
    It is a long, rocky and very emotional way, until the two find each other. We meet again Nikko and Micha and their family from "Dept". Owen, Randy's neighbor is also a wonderful addition, like Micah's brother Gareth. Again an absolute "must read" book by Kc Wells

    I really enjoyed this book, I like that it follows on from what happens in book 1 with a new couple of which I did not see coming.
    Burden is an opposites attract story about Jesse (Nikko's friend) and Randy (Vice Detective) from book 1 Debt. The book is filled with a couple that are trying to find themselves and how they live in the world after the events of book one.
    Randy is now able to see the other side of prostitution and what reasons some may have for resorting to that and he is having trouble following orders when he now understands.
    Jesse is trying to survive and for him that means turning to prostitution on the streets and getting enough money to pay bills etc whilst trying to also save money to go back to school to finish studying.
