In his best friend’s arms, he’s safe. Can Trent admit his truth before he loses the love of his life?

Award-Winning Finalist in Fiction: LGBTQ 2019 Best Book Awards (American Book Fest)

Admitting my truth to the wrong man destroyed the boy I was. I barely survived. It left me broken and scarred.

I’m grown now, but my past still haunts me.

When Angelo found me, I’d hit rock bottom. He lifted me up. Comforted me. He’s the best friend I could ask for. He’s my family and my rock. Still, I can’t help pushing him away.

When I reach for him in my weakest moments, I can breathe. He shows me every day that I’m safe.

I love him. I’m in love with him too. But I’ve lived in denial for so long that I don’t know how to be the man he needs or the one he deserves.

My reaction to his finding "the one" will change our friendship forever. It’s do or die time. I need to risk it all and confess my truth one more time or lose him forever.

TRIGGER WARNING: This book contains information about sexual assault and/or violence which may be triggering to survivors.

Grech’s demi-awakening MM romance, In Safe Arms, will break your heart and mend it with this story of loyalty and love for a damaged man who learns to accept himself, and in doing so gives his best friend his heart.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

By day Ann Grech used to live in the corporate world and could be found sitting behind a desk typing away at reports and papers or lecturing to a room full of students. She graduated with a PhD in 2016 and is now an over-qualified nerd. But the grind got old, and the voices got louder. She still has the librarian look nailed, but she’s a little freer to be herself now.

She’s never entirely fit in and loves escaping into a book—whether it’s reading or writing one. But she’s found her tribe and loves her book world family. She dislikes cooking, but loves eating, can’t figure out technology, but is addicted to it, and her guilty pleasure is Byron Bay Cookies. Oh and shoes. And lingerie. And maybe handbags too. Well, if we’re being honest, we’d probably have to add her library too given the state of her credit card every month (what can she say, she’s a bookworm at heart)!

In 2019 she was an Award-Winning Finalist in the Fiction: LGBTQ category of the 2019 Best Book Awards sponsored by American Book Fest for her story In Safe Arms.

She also publishes her raunchier short stories under her pen name, Olive Hiscock.

What an amazing 2nd book this is. Trent has had a traumatic life since he was forced to run away at the age of 16. After a hard life trying to survive life on the streets he meets up with Photographer Angelo and they form a wonderful friendship only Angelo has feelings for Trent and Trent doesn’t match those feelings due to his prior life. Many years later friendship still going strong things start to turn around.I highly recommend this book and Book 1 All He Needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars So good to finally know Trent’s story.

My heart broke for Keir in the beginning, the trauma he experienced was devastating to say the least. It was something that would never leave him and I wanted to do something violent to the perpetrator something fierce.

This author knows how to pull every emotion out of you and I mean literally, Every. Single. One. You find yourself feeling despair so deeply for a character, the next minute anger like you’ve never felt before then the next excitement and extreme delight with such happiness.

Angelo is an absolute angel so his name is perfect, he is such a beautiful character- inside and out, so caring and giving. Trent is a very complex character, I can’t help but wonder what he would have been like had he not suffered at an early age. Even with his moodiness and need to remake himself I liked him, I felt empathy for him but I could see so much more and felt he lost out for so long.

I totally love the hashtag for Ricky, Mason, Caden and Baby Grace, very clever. Although there is a huge, darker element in this story there is a fabulous amount of fun and this hashtag is one prime example of the great sense of humour sprinkled throughout the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this amazing story and totally recommend it to everyone.

Trent’s journey to reclaiming who he is, is heartbreaking. And redeeming. And to think, people go through this every day is awe inspiring.
We all deserve a love as strong and unyielding as Angelo’s.
I’m not going to give more of this away as I don’t feel you can truly appreciate the depth of In Safe Arms without reading those that came before it. All the ones leading up to this are intertwined and give you a deeper connection to the characters, including Trent and Angelo.
Love is love and we’d all be better humans if we remembered that.

They say love can bring out the best in people. It can also help you see the best in people, even when they're not embodying it. Angelo is determined to be the light in Trent's darkness. I was originally expecting a story where Trent waited too long and had to win back Angelo's affection. Now I know that would never happen, because Angelo fell so hard for Trent that there is no going back for him. This is an emotional and hopeful story that also made me curious about the other characters in this world. Luckily, there are more stories in this universe, and I'll get the chance to dig a little deeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping story, beautifully written...
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2021

A marvelous tale, gripping, heart wrenching, deep, and pertinent.
Kier/Trent is violated by a trusted family member, and sees no justice, so he ran. His teen life became a nightmare, and
he struggled daily. on this troubled journey he meets a few people who help him. Italian, Angelo, saves him on the bridge.
We see their deep thoughts, the kindness given, and a lasting friendship and finally love. Time passes, and the struggle continues. We cry, we hope and we feel the pain that that horrendous act still affects our sweet man.
The ending is satisfying, yet heart breaking, at the same time.
Trent and Angelo are wonderful together, and the HEA is joyous.
Be ready for heartaches and healing.
I can totally see why this author was an Award Winning Finalist.
Enjoy !

I couldn't put this book down. From the first chapter, Trent's story held me captive. To witness Trent's transformation from a broken teen to an open, loving adult was uplifting. Everyone deserves someone like Angelo to love them!
Ann Grech is really good about including people from all spectrums of sexual orientation. It's interesting to learn about how other people identify.

I love an angsts story and I’m sad I’m going to say this, but this was just too much angst. At a few points in the story, you’re like, yes Trent is about to get his life together and admit he’s in love, oh wait no, here’s another 10 chapters of angst and not even that raw, hit you in the gut angst, it was the “really, we’re still here, he’s still whining?” Cool. While the first few chapters were heart wrenching, as the book went on, it became unbearable and I speed through chapters, overall, just okay.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Story full of Patience and Lovs
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2019

Read this heartbreaking book! I want to wrap Trent up in a huge hug and I want Angelo to be my best friend. Angelo and Trent met and became best friends through the course of a few years. Angelo fell deeply in love with him but Trent was straight.

Trent went through a horrific event when he was younger and swore he wouldn't be gay because of it but he wasn't happy. Afraid of the world and what it would do if he admitted it. Angelo was always there for him and supporting him as a friend while hurting on the inside.

This was such a believe tale and I love how there were no big misunderstanding with the MC's and when they finally came together it was breathtaking. Angelo helped Trent through all his fears with patience and love.

The ending was perfect! I couldn't find any fault in this book and the writing was special with the descriptions and the emotions that came off the pages into my heart.

-Tension Filled
-Closeted
-Trauma
-Best friends to lovers

10 Amazing Stars if I could!! Do not miss this book. Absolutely perfect.

4.0 out of 5 stars Trent's story - a slow burn with reasons
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2019

I'm not sure "enjoy" is the right word, given the sadness and horror in Trent's past, but I appreciated his story and was happy he finally found his HEA with Angelo. With the healing Trent needs, the slow pace of friendship turning to relationship makes sense, though it did feel a bit too slow in places (even with time jumps).

This can be read as a standalone but I appreciated seeing how it intersected with Ford's and Reef's story as well as Caden's story.

Holy Smokes! This story wrings your emotions out of you, it's gut wrenching, tragic, and bloody painfully full of angst all the way through, but even with all that it's a stunning read. A close friend of the family abuses sixteen year old Keir and that sets of years of lose and pain as he struggles with his identity and sexuality. Just an amazing story.

I loved both of the books in the My Truth book series. I wanted to read them quickly to see what would happen but I didn’t want to finish them because then they would be over. Thinking about a Trent had gone through was so emotional, and Cadens sister dying during childbirth oh my god I cried. I loved the relationship that this group of men had as friends. It’s been a while since I’ve read two books that have had such a good storyline. Thank you, I think I will be thinking about them for a while.

This story was just wow. It took me on a ride that I didn't really know was coming but loved. It tied up loose ends and answered questions raised in other books. Trent was a deeper character that I didn't know needed his own story but I'm so glad he did and Angelo what a dream boat he has such a beautiful soul and was perfect for Trent after all he had been through. I'm not sure how accurate the book is regarding abuse but I thought it was handled really well here but I don't have first hand experience so if you do you might disagree with my opinion on that. This book is quite confronting and moving and steamy and is all the things I love in a book.

You will need a box of tissues to get through this one. Trent..... I dont even have the words to describe or explain the raw emotion I felt through this story unfolding..... what a beautiful soul crushing way to tell a story of 2 people so in love but to have to so much pain and anguish to work through. I also loved having all the others pop up in the book and to have Ford and Reef be so supportive despite what happened..... I have a book hangover from this series.... just wow I couldnt put the book down.... Angelo & Trent what a love story ♡♡♡♡
