Daniel Larson has walled
himself off from any possibility of romance since his lover died
violently five years ago in Afghanistan. The same bomb that ended his
partner’s life took the lower part of Daniel’s left leg. The only
support Daniel has, his Uncle Lawrence, is dead-set against anything
homosexual, including Daniel.
Now, a popular language teacher at the local university, Daniel's suffering from a car accident that broke his one good leg. His uncle, who is much better at throwing money at things than offering emotional support, provides a rented power chair and a private in-home nurse. Unbeknownst to his uncle, the nurse comes in the form of a man named Jonah Thacker.
Instantly attracted, Daniel and Jonah fight their mutual feelings in favor of professionalism. They become friends anyway, and Jonah shares his life with Daniel, including his handicapped son, Ethan. As Jonah and Daniel grow closer, Daniel becomes more involved in Jonah and his son’s lives, even being there for Ethan when his medical conditions worsen. But when Daniel’s uncle finds out the nurse he's hired is male, he uses all of his resources to keep Jonah and Daniel apart.

Wow!
This was simply amazing, such a beautiful book about balancing love and
responsibilities. Daniel is such an
amazing character his strength and perseverance through all life has thrown at
him is simply amazing, while Jonah is the most intelligent and caring man. But while Daniel and Jonah are the main
characters of this book my favorite character is Jonah’s son, Ethan. His joy and zest for life in spite of all of
his medical problems is contagious. I
loved watching Daniel and Jonah’s relationship grow and I especially loved that
both characters had personal obstacles they had to overcome to totally devote
themselves to the relationship.
Overall
this was an amazing story of the love found in a family you create. I would
recommend this book to anyone who loves m/m stories and especially if you like
stories with children in them.
