BLURB: Oliver and Samuel’s relationship is fairy-tale perfect. They share a gorgeous house in Antwerp, go out with their friends every weekend, and count down the days to their dream wedding. But their happy ending is shattered one late night, and just like that, Ollie is left bereft and alone.
The months that follow are long and dark, but slowly Ollie emerges from his grief. He even braves the waters of online dating, though deep down he doesn’t believe he can find that connection again. He doesn’t think to look for love right in front of him: his bisexual friend Thomas, the gentle giant with a kind heart and sad eyes who’s wanted him all along.
When Thomas suddenly discovers he has a son who needs him, he’s ill prepared. Ollie opens up his house—Sam’s house—and lets them in. Ollie doesn’t know what scares him more: the responsibility of caring for a baby, or the way Thomas is steadily winning his heart. It will take all the courage he has to discover whether or not fairy tales can happen for real.
My Review: I received a copy from Signal Boost Promotions in exchange for an honest review. This book had me crying ugly tears, the descriptions of the grief were so close to home and brought back a few memories of my own loss. I think this is one reason I truly felt all the anguish and sorrow, but at the same time it gave me hope for the future of the main character and a sense of fulfilment at the end. If you don't mind reading really well written grief, loss, and hope then go buy the book, you won't regret it. Just be aware you will need a handy box of tissues nearby.
