BLURB:

Romance is the last thing Shaun wants, but what if it’s exactly what he needs – and deserves?

A selfless son barely holding on

Shaun doesn’t have much of a life. When he’s not working in the restaurant in Portland, Maine, he’s home looking after his dad, who has dementia. The only people he sees on a regular basis are his coworkers, and Nathan, his dad’s carer, except he and Shaun are like ships that pass in the night. And on those dark nights when Shaun feels so alone, thoughts of Nathan are all he has to cling to.

A caring nurse

It didn’t take Nathan five minutes to know Shaun is a special guy. He’s dealt with enough indifferent families to recognize Shaun has and will always put his dad first. That’s why Nathan is willing to go above and beyond – Shaun is worth it. Nathan’s attraction to him has to go on the back burner, not that Shaun has noticed: Shaun’s focus is all on his dad.

Maybe it’s time for Nathan to convince Shaun he can keep that focus and still have a life – a life that includes love.

REVIEW:

When he thinks of it, Shaun loves a lot, if not everything, about Nathan, his warm brown eyes, his honey-colored skin, his length, his hair, his smile, oh dear..!

Nathan is forty-three years old and is the nurse who takes care of Shaun’s dad, who has dementia in the final stage.
Shaun’s life is, at twenty-six, on hold, first, he took care of his mom and now his dad. Working his job and caring for his father that’s his life, no time for romance or spending time with his friends.

Sweet, caring Nathan gives Shaun opportunities to have some time for himself. Shaun’s heart reaches out to Nathan, he understands Nathan is gay, he can’t know Shaun is too, his dad doesn’t even know.
Meanwhile, Nathan’s feelings for Shaun are getting stronger, only, he gets the impression they aren’t reciprocated.

Nathan is good for Shaun and his dad, he’s doing more than the job asks for. He desperately wants to take care of Shaun.

While Shaun is alone with his dad, Nathan has a big, warm, and friendly family. Before you know it Nathan’s mom’s arms are around Shaun and hugs her biggest hugs. Such emotional moments! My eyes blurred.

Thank goodness Shaun has his friends in his corner, just like Nathan they are there for him, to support and comfort him.
When I look at this story, I see something real, from first to the last page, every aspect of what happened with Shaun felt real, his father, the love, the hurt, Nathan, his family, all the friends, oh, let us not forget sweet and feisty Grammy, it’s a complete and satisfying journey. My eyes blurred more than once, my heart beat faster for both men. All those sweet, bittersweet emotions.
Overall, a wonderfully written, warm story, with outstanding characters and a sweet romance.
