Shameless Affairs (Destined to Fail) Kindle Edition

by Hayden Hall (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 547 ratings
I never wanted anyone this much. Especially not a guy.

Aaron stumbled into my arms and I wasn’t able to let go of him since. Wounded, he needs a place to crash and a friend to help him through. He’s so hurt and lost that he makes me want to be his protector against the world.

But strange, new feelings rise very quickly. Being around him makes me imagine things a straight guy has no business wanting. Least of all a taken, straight guy. But the longer he’s with us, the more I want him all for myself.

Until my girl sparks one fight too many, then goes away. And it’s just us boys. And I see the look of desire in his eyes.

How many bridges will we burn? How many hearts will we break? How far are we willing to go in the name of love?

Shameless Affairs is the second novel in the Destined to Fail series. This book explores the themes of infidelity and love that requires sacrifices. It includes close proximity, bisexual awakening, and a gray take on the ‘cheating with each other’ trope. While this is the second novel in the series, it can be read as a complete standalone (but it’s more fun to read in the order of release).

    Infidelity books aren't for everyone. They aren't even for me. But since I am unable to miss a book written by Hayden Hall, I had to read it. Man. There was something about this book that just worked! Aaron gets cheated on right out the gate. He is devastated, but after time he understands why it didn't work between him and his now ex-boyfriend. He then goes to stay with his best friend from high school (Megan - who we do not like, trust me) and meets her boyfriend, Garret. He is perfect! He is sweet, considerate, sexy as all heck, and completely off limits. He is also straight. Or is he? Garret and Aaron build this incredible friendship over a period of time and romantic feelings eventually begin to show themselves. With Garret currently being in a toxic relationship and then being with Aaron, he sees what he is missing with his girlfriend and he begins to understand what it is he truly wants and what he needs...and it's Aaron. They eventually get together (in an incredibly HOT scene...like, soooo hot!!!), thus Garret ends up cheating on his girlfriend.

    Hayden approached what is considered to be a sensitive subject, really well. He put a lot of love and care into making sure that this book worked. These characters didn't cheat just to cheat. They didn't have s*x just to have s*x. They actually built an incredible friendship and the feelings and love came afterward. I get if cheating books aren't your thing, because I am right there with you. But I recommend this one. Take a chance on something you might not be into. Because if you look past the actual infidelity itself and see how it was that they came together and the circumstances around it that allowed them to come together, maybe you will understand that this story was okay. Sometimes you find your soulmate at the worst possible time, but you shouldn't ever give up on it. And, this definitely got a happy ending for all parties involved and that made this read really grow on me in the end.

    I also love interlocking stories! I was really happy to see Parrish and Levi again! Especially Parrish because he is my boo!!! But I especially loved seeing Archer and Brooklyn (from Rescued). That was an awesome cameo!

    I love this author so much, he is fun, light and brings many types of characters to the page. I was happy to see him reach outside his norm to write a darker read and dig deep to bring out triggers he has not written about before. This book had all the feels with Aaron coming home to his boyfriend to an unexpected surprise that took a turn on his life. He was devasted by the cheating his boyfriend had been doing, but worse that he never knew or felt something was wrong. After leaving that relationship he goes to stay with his friend Megan and her boyfriend Garrett at which he seems to get along with quite well. Their chemistry was almost instant, Garrett and Aaron ended up developing something special. The author gets into the story lines of how the relationships started and ended in much detail.

    I have to say I don't normally go for the cheating stories. But I read everything Hayden Hall puts out so I was curious how he was going to approach the subject.

    I have to admit it was fascinating walking into a cheating relationship through pages. I don't condone cheating but reading it through a character's POV. Their struggles, emotions, guilt... was interesting. And being the fly on the wall "inside the toxic relationship" Megan and Garrett had was also interesting. You get the emotions firsthand and to have it in a cheating book... not something I've read before. I don't condone cheating. I think leaving the person is the best option. But I don't think it's always that easy either. I think the book was well written in the fact the emotions were there. The events that took place. The underlying unspoken things that weren't said, but were. Maybe that was just me reading between the lines but I don't think so.

    As for Garrett and Aaron, I think all they had to do was cross paths and they were meant to be. Unfortunately, the circumstances were not ideal. They were explosive together. They brought out the best in each other. Knew they could trust each other and be the best versions of themselves with no limitations. Something their previous partners could have never given them. Still not a reason to cheat, but they got their HEA. And I think in the end everyone ended up with who they should have been with.

    I was thoroughly enjoying this book until the "big dining room" scene that I suppose was intended to be hot, but actually was quite boring and just went on and on and on etc. I finally just started scanning through those pages and for me, the story just never recovered. I really enjoyed the first book and was really looking forward to this one. The beginning of this book and the remainder of the book after that long drawn out scene was like night and day. The story just fizzled out.

    This had my emotions roiling from page 1. I am all about vengeance and Bruce did sweet Aaron so dirty. Then we meet Garrett who is being treated so nasty by Megan (Aaron’s friend). Garrett and Aaron discover friendship and eventually live together out of a dying relationship (dying or dead, depends on how you look at it). Is that reason to cheat? Eh, we read these books to step out of our reality for a while. Garrett and Aaron found something beautiful while both were in difficult places. They had to burn some bridges to have the wonderful life they want. Very good story, first for me by this author.

    I love Hayden Hall's style of writing. He builds tension here beautifully. It's a very real seeming story that explores characters realizing that they are not with the correct people romantically. The steam is great as usual with Hall.

    The only complaint which I can only half-heartedly call a complaint is that one of the MCs likes football, and it feels like the author has never actually watched a football game. As a gay man, this feels on point for a gay romance, though. It just made me smile as I read it.

    I'll definitely be checking out the third book in this series.

    4.5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

    I am not usually a fan of books where the characters cheat, and yes I know the MCs didn't cheat on each other, but there was still cheating. I think if something isn't working you end it before you cheat, but in Garrett's case I made an allowance because of the abusive situation he finds himself in.

    Garrett's girlfriend Magan, is a right cow and I felt really sorry for him, he believed he loved her, that she loved him, but she treated him abysmally and he felt stuck in a situation he didn't know how to change, a situataion many abused people find themselves in.

    Aaron has just found out his boyfriend has been cheating on him and after they break up he is left homeless, couch surfing around until Megan an old school friend offers him the use of their basement to stay in. Because of his experience being cheated on, Aaron does grapple with his feeling towards Garrett, and he does a lot of soul searching about this.

    There is instant attraction between Garrett and Aaron when they first meet and they become good friends, Megan is always off doing 'important' things and has no time for her boyfriend or her firned she's just invited to stay. She's written as a very shallow, narcissistic, self absorbed person, very unlikable and most definitley abusive towards Garrett, which is why the cheating didn't seem so bad to me, I guess that's the grey area in the it's not always black and white.

    Garrett had an experience when he was a teen that left him with trauma, this and his parents have left him pushing down any feelings he's had about other men, to the point, he didn't even acknowlegde them anymore. Aaron's visit changes all that and helps to bring about the start of his healing.

    The relationship build up between Garrett and Aaron is slow burn until it combusts and boy is there some heat in that combustion. It took a lot to push Garrett over that line into cheating, but there's only so much abuse a person can take.

    There was a lot of emotional moments throughout the story both for Garrett and for Aaron, but when the story ended I was left feeling very happy for them both and had a smile on my face knowing they'd both found their person.

    Loved how the story of Aaron and Garret developed out of nothing. Aaron cheated on by his "boyfriend" and Garret bullied by his "girlfriend" . But thankfully they found one another, love blossomed and they find their happy ever after ending.

    Was für eine großartige Geschichte!!! Ich war von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite komplett gefesselt!
    Dieser Teil hat mir sogar noch viel besser gefallen, als der erste Teil!!! 😍😍😍 Aufregend, liebevoll 🥰, emotional 🥹 und wirklich heiß 🥵!!!

    Ich habe Garret und Aaron sofort in mein Herz geschlossen. Es war so süß, wie die beiden sich immer näher gekommen sind, füreinander da waren und so liebevoll miteinander umgegangen sind ❤️! Und die Chemie zwischen den beiden war einfach nur unglaublich! Puh, also bei Garrets und Aarons ersten Mal ist mir wirklich heiß geworden 🔥🥵!!!

    Ich kann verstehen, dass dieses Buch nicht für jeden Leser etwas ist, da Garret seine Freundin mit Aaron betrügt und es dafür natürlich eine bessere Lösung gegeben hätte, allerdings läuft im Leben oftmals auch nicht alles so wie es sollte und niemand ist perfekt 🙂. Ich werde das Buch DEFINITIV noch einmal lesen und bin gespannt auf den nächsten Teil 🤗!

    Shameless Affairs is book two in the Destined to Fail series. While each book features a different couple they are best read in order.

    A cheating trope and forced proximity? Could it get any better! This was a great read. I binge read it. The minute I started I was suckered in.

    Aaron loses the trifecta: his job, apartment and boyfriend all in one night. His life is on a downward spiral and he's just looking for a fresh start.
    Garrett is a house husband without the ring and his girlfriend used to be best friends with Aaron the they were kids. So she invites to stay…

    But if cheating tropes aren't your jam Hayden has some more fluffy/light hearted series that might be more your vibe.
