Summary

Web designer Jodi Peters is a solitary creature. Lunch twice a week with his ex-girlfriend-turned-BFF and the occasional messy venture to a dodgy gay bar is all the company he needs, right?

Then one night he stumbles across newly divorced firefighter Rupert O'Neil. Rupert is lost and lonely, but just about the sweetest bloke Jodi has ever known. Add in the heady current between them, and Jodi can't help falling hard in love. He offers Rupert a home within the walls of his cosy Tottenham flat - a sanctuary to nurture their own brand of family - and for four blissful years, life is never sweeter.

Until a cruel twist of fate snatches it all away. A moment of distraction leaves Jodi fighting for a life he can't remember and shatters Rupert's heart. Jodi doesn't know him - or want to. With little left of the man he adores, Rupert must cling to what remains of his shaky faith and pray that Jodi can learn to love him again.

So sad, yet so beautiful...

I went in to this story blind, I had no idea what to expect, and man was l surprised.

What drew me deeper and deeper into the story was that l recognised the places the characters
lived in . Being a Londoner, l enjoyed listening to a very good Cockney accent, and an unbelievably
sexy Irish accent too. The slang and very British sarcasm had me smirking throughout.

This started out as an unexpected encounter, which soon turned very deep and very hot.
Two very different men, each with their own unique types of baggage, strike up a friendship.
Jodi, very much a loner, with few friends but a successful company meets Rupert on a night out.
OMG, Rupert is such a darling character. When he meets Jodi, he has lost everything in his life that
means anything to him . Struggling to stay afloat after a failed marriage, missing his daughter and questioning
his whole existence , he is a mess. Rupert is just coming to realise that he is into men, but doesn't have the
courage to do anything about it.
Then he meets Jodi....
His whole world, his whole outlook on life is about to change.
The two men fall hard, their love for each other turns pretty epic.
But life has other ideas, and an unexpected tragedy turns their world upside down.

The story takes on a much darker turn from here on. The outcome of the tragedy will have both men
questioning everything they knew about themselves and their relationship.

This book will have you both swooning and crying in equal measure. Very well written indeed.

The narrator Craig Beck is absolutely outstanding voicing the characters. His Irish (Rupert) lilt
is so sweet, so sexy it will make you shiver. l loved the dark and light in his voice, he did the story justice.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
