BLURB:

Dr. Robert Adams grew up with more advantages than most—the son of a former vice president, he had two loving fathers, a twin sister he adores and wonderfully doting grandparents. Life is good until one afternoon when his dreams flat-line. And no scalpel can repair the guilt and grief he carries with him for the first time in his life.

For Tech Sergeant Landon Russo, determination isn’t just a word, it’s a way of life. Joining the US Air Force allows him to prove his worth, and he takes the values of integrity, service and excellence to heart in every decision he makes. Until on one fateful night, in celebration of a much-deserved promotion, a simple misstep sends his life flying into a tailspin.

As both men fight to regain control of their lives, they’ll soon discover fate rules. Will they ignore the signs and risk everything or will they take a chance and trust their destiny to be together…forever?

REVIEW:

Robert’s parents love story was amazingly beautiful. He never, even in his wildest dreams, thought that he would find the same kind of love, and what’s more, a love that encompasses a mind-numbing, soul-deep, soul mate-level kind of epic love! His parents’ love for each other set a high bar for him and his sister, but especially for Robert who has to overcome a lot of obstacles imposed by him and by his environment, given the status that he and his sister have to navigate.

Soul mates are rare to find! Please consider yourself very lucky if you find your soul mate in your lifetime. During a time when Robert Adams was feeling lost and desperate, he had the sense to remember what his father said regarding one’s outlook towards life, that he should “Dare to Fly,” not just dream but reach out and do something for the fulfillment of that dream. Going to Germany and working in a hospital, following his father’s words put him on the path to meet Landon Russo, the soldier who watched over his father during his wake and the time Robert and his Daddy Kane stayed with his Dad the whole night. Realizing who they are to each other paved the way for a friendship that became stronger as the days wear on. Leaving each other behind was heavy on their hearts but they know that they each have to go back to their own lives.

What follows is the beginning of romance wrought with self-doubt, lack of self-confidence, and status quo beliefs. If you get right down to it, all of these factors are based on the fact that they come from different backgrounds. They were brought up differently and some ingrained, preconceived notions that they belong to different social classes, which is totally wrong if we are talking about “love and soul mates.”

What I love about this story is the fact that we can relate to the struggles of each person, maybe not everyone (that includes me) can relate to the wealth that the Adams’ have, but the other circumstances we are certainly familiar with. We can understand the day-to-day situations that they encounter and the decisions that they have to make. I love Landon for always being true to himself. He is a truly good man. He has a lot of doubts but he expresses them to Robert which helps Robert counter them.

Robert’s confidence, after he has gone through his depression, is unwavering when it comes to the part about who he wants (Landon) and how he wants to get him. He willingly courses through all the obstacles that Landon has come up with. He shows Landon again and again that they are meant to be, that their love for each other will get them through all the obstacles in their path. I deeply admire Robert’s respect for what Landon has to accomplish when it comes to his career. No matter the pain and longing that he goes through, he is willing to do it, just to give Landon the fulfillment that he is able to accomplish what he set himself to do before meeting Robert.

This is an “EPIC” love story of two souls who were meant to be together always and forever! No matter what challenges lay in front of you, if you believe and are steadfast in who and what you want, then everything will be in its proper place at the right time. In the end, love totally wins!
