Review: Tear-jerker romance about a man recovering from the unexpected death of his partner. Keep the Kleenex handy! That said, I didn't love the narration by JP Handler and his Oh. Ver. Pro. Nun. See. Aye. Shun. Of. Each. Sill. Uh. Bill. It sounds almost like one of those computer narrations. ( ) Cut to Theo Anderson, still working on finding his way after the death of his long-time partner, Ben, just a year ago. Try as he might, Theo hasn't been able to find a way to move on or even to reconnect to the world. A glimmer of hope shines through when he meets Peter at the gym, but it may not be enough to help him find a way to cope. But when he forms an unexpected friendship with Morgan on an internet discussion forum, he wonders if maybe he has finally found exactly what he needs. But will Morgan live up to his expectations in person? What if they don't connect the same way offline? Can Theo really move past Ben, the love of his life? And who is Morgan, really? I did not expect to like this book as much as I did. When it started, I thought it was a bit slow and that it was going to be page after page of reliving Theo's grief. (Don't get me wrong, there is a fair share of that - but I think it's necessary for the reader to truly understand the intensity of his connection, which is something we can't get from Theo's present, as Ben is no longer around.) But it turned out to be a story of love and loss, finding your way in the world when you don't think you can, recognizing that things don't always go as planned but they still go on, and that as long as we stay hung up on our preconceptions about what we deserve and what life should be - we can never expect more from ourselves. There's some definite emotional moments in this one (and a few steamy moments, too), but it's a touching tale and one I certainly recommend. I'm looking forward to the next book and learning more about this group of guys... I really liked this book. It was heartclenchy and happy and sexy all at once. My heart ached for Theo, and his working on coming back to life after Ben's death was both hard to read and heartening at the same time. The interns were adorable, and Theo's developing relationship with Morgan was lovely. I adored Marco, and was very happy that he helped Theo see what he needed to do. My only complaint about the book was that IT ENDED, but I guess that's to be expected. I'm very happy that I have the next book in this series waiting for me. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: Seattle Stories Series, Book 1 A year after the sudden death of his longtime partner, Ben, Theo Anderson is still grieving. The last thing he's looking for is a new lover. But as Theo soon discovers, sometimes life has other plans. While Theo experiences a powerful physical attraction to fellow gym member Peter, it's his new online friend, Morgan, who provides the intellectual challenge to make him come alive. Morgan is witty, brave, and irreverent, and Theo is ready to take the plunge... until he discovers Morgan might be half his age. Theo's late partner was significantly older—enough to strain Theo's relationship with his family—and the potential of another relationship being cut short leaves him gunshy. Theo needs to lay Ben's memory to rest, reconcile with his family, and rekindle neglected friendships if he's to start afresh with a new lover. But Theo isn't the only one with a past. His biggest challenge, in living after Ben, might not be his to face. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
