I sometimes wonder how an author can make three full novels about the same couple. With Dan and Micky, I’m not surprised. These two have a bunch of serious stuff going on.
This book finds them living in Wales. Micky’s never lived there, but the lure of being close to his mother’s family holds great appeal. As does getting as far away from his previous life as he can. Especially his deadbeat father. But, in this idyllic and isolated town in Wales, he’s living precariously. Because he’s with Dan, his caregiver funding is about to be revoked. He has no job, no career trajectory, and no real sense of the future. He cares for his brother and adores Dan, but it’s not enough.
Dan is living his dream. He’s working as a teacher, he has the man he loves by his side, and he has Flynn, whom he’s coming to see as his own. When things go sideways, though, he doesn’t know where to turn. His support system is back home and he’s struggling to keep his relationship with Micky going. Add in Flynn’s medical issues and it’s almost too much. I knew the men would stay together in the end, but it was a near thing.
But, it’s a C.F. White romance and she always delivers on the romance. My men got their happily ever after and a cute epilogue to boot. I highly recommend this series. Finally, quick nod to Piers Ryman who did a fantastic job narrating the books. Well done.
