Aaron has waited years for a man who can share his heart and he insists it's party boy Zach.
Not even his mother’s funeral can convince self-proclaimed party boy Zach Johnson to tone down his snark or think about settling down. He is who he is, and he refuses to change for anyone.

But Zach doesn’t need to be fixed and he refuses to be with someone who sees him as broken.
Patience is one of Aaron’s many virtues. He has waited years for a man who can share his heart and complete his life and he insists Zach is the one. Pride, fear, and old hurts wither in the wake of Aaron’s adoring loyalty, and as Zach reevaluates his perceptions of love and family, he finds himself tempted to believe in the impossible: a happily-ever-after.

Cameo Appearances:
Well written, down to earth, perfect description, and narration is sweet. I loved this read.
This story is a true "happily ever after" . ...He Completes Me is a relationship story that follows Zach's POV from before he meets Aaron until they become fully integrated into each others' lives, extended family and all. I loved being Zach's head. He lived a hedonistic, fast-paced life before Aaron and his perspective is charmingly abrupt and open-minded. ... If you're looking for a sweet, dependable love story that doesn't use gimmicks to pace through the plot, check out He Completes Me.
It's like a three-layer cake with icing and sugar sprinkles and cotton candy spun on top: SO DAMN FANCIFUL and SWEET, you just can't stop eating it.
It's strong romantic overtone along with characters that I'd love to call a friend in my own personal life has made this book a very memorable read for me. If you are looking for a book that will leave you will a warm fuzzy feeling along with a huge smile on your face, then this book is definitely something to consider. Highly Recommended!
