"William, I'm sorry for treating you with anything less than the respect you deserve. You were right about me. I was a coward. But you showed me how to be brave and to live the life I want to live. And to have the love I deserve."

⏤

William and Benny's story is one of redemption and second chances at proving that time and perseverance can change a person.

William helps Ben, one of the students at his school, who is being bullied. William requests that Ben bring his father to meet him and the last person he expected to walk through his door was Benny from the Block, his high school bully.

I enjoyed William and Benny's story. William and Benny both did a fair amount of growing in their story. The chemistry and connection between them when they were together was hot. I feel the book could have done with maybe a few extra chapters. A trigger warning against homophobia and assault.

Benny from the Block was my first K.C. Kassidy book and I am looking forward to reading more from her in the future.
