Two Very Different Men (and Why They Both Matter)

The best love triangles aren’t about picking between a “good guy” and a “bad boy.” They’re about emotional tension. Identity. The hard truth that sometimes, two very different people can each hold a piece of your heart—and neither one is easy to walk away from.

In A Taste of Gratitude, the triangle forms around Addison, and the two men who pull her in opposite directions.

Landon is the past that still lingers. A love she never fully got over. He’s passion and chaos, the boy who broke her heart and the man who still makes it race. He knows the old version of her—the one who was younger, softer, and maybe a little more afraid.

Caleb is steady. Unexpected. He was never supposed to be more than a distraction, but ended up being exactly what she needed. He listens. He sees her. He’s a gentleman… until he’s not. And when he takes up space in her life, it’s in a way that’s impossible to ignore.

What makes them both matter isn’t just their chemistry with Tessa—it’s what they reflect back at her. One reminds her who she was. The other challenges her to see who she could be. And if you’ve read the story, you know: it’s not as simple as choosing one. Because sometimes, loving one doesn’t mean you’ve stopped loving the other.
