BLURB:
“The best gifts are the ones you didn’t even know you needed.”
“Everyone in the wedding party gets laid. It’s tradition.”
Roger “Beck” Beckworth grew up with a strict, homophobic father who was always changing the rules just to keep Beck on his toes, but now he’s made a well-ordered, predictable life for himself that he’s perfectly happy with.
Perfectly.
When he finds himself waiting to take his place as a groomsman at a friend’s wedding, the last thing he expects is that the final attendant, the one who’s running late—a sure sign that the two of them will be like oil and water—will turn out to be the first man he ever loved.
“Surprises are some of my favorite things.”
Liam Hart lives on his boat, free to go wherever the wind blows him. He’s almost allergic to the idea of being tied down to any one place… or any one person. That had been different, once, but loving Roger Beckworth was half a lifetime ago, and the pain of losing him taught Liam a valuable lesson about the risk of trying to hold onto something after its time has passed.
Finding him again might just teach Liam something else altogether, though.
“You have to believe. Love will never let you down.”
When fate brings them together again, their differences seem destined to pull them apart… unless Beck can finally learn to let go, and Liam figures out that love really is worth holding onto, no matter what the cost.
REVIEW:
When you fall in love, you fall in love! No matter what happens after, or when one’s partner leaves, especially at a young age but what you felt is something that you know is the love you have been waiting for, that will stay with you! And maybe, your other relationships has to be at par with that!
They were childhood/teenage sweethearts! They have a second chance at the love they thought they have lost! Having felt it when they were young knowing deep inside that their love was not the kind of love that most young people feel at that age. Knowing deep inside that they have met the love of their life, the person who will make them whole.
Beck and Liam feel in love when they were in high school. They were total opposites, but their differences only made them fall for each other more. Liam was laid back, having been raised in a nomadic-kind of lifestyle. Beck is more intense and disciplined in the way he does things, having grown with a father who was always watching him and changing the rules to keep him on his toes. So Beck thrives at sets of rules, the one that don’t change no matter the circumstance, like those in sports. He likes order in his life, he plans before doing things. He likes to know where, when, how or why he’s doing things.
This is a second chance at a great love for both characters now that they are adults. They haven’t really forgotten each other. Their relationships are measured against the love they had for each other. It is a bittersweet story of young love that went through separation for fourteen years. Ms. Stella Starling has the knack for writing sweet characters and it continues with this fourth book in the series. Her characters are not only sweet but also surround themselves with family and friends. If you are a fan of sweet love stories with low angst, you will fall in love with this series.
