This was a well-written and enjoyable second chances love story. I love that the characters know one another already. I love the familiarity these stories hold, without having to go too far into the past. My absolute favorite trope is second chances. Visit my blog, Sinfully Good Gay Book Reviews I received an ARC from Dreamspinner Press in exchange for an honest review. Personally I felt the story unfolded a bit too leisurely, but on the whole, this is a sweet story. Maybe it’s time I allow myself to be free? You can feel the spark between Nate and Damian, and the one brief sex scene fits into the gentle flow of the story. Nate found himself reflecting on the joy and freedom of being able to express yourself, something he’d been thinking a lot about over the last few weeks especially. This is not a story of high emotions, miscommunication and angst but rather one that slowly develops as Nate realizes he needs to step up and live an authentic life not just for himself, but for his family. And when his nephew runs away from home, Nate and Damian go to Sydney to search for him and end up reexamining their relationship. When Nate returns home to work at the small medical clinic, he wonders if perhaps he made a mistake running away. Nate and Damian were boyhood sweethearts, but Nate left to attend uni in Sydney, eventually becoming a doctor, while Damian remained and now owns a successful business. Runaway is a story of two men - both just a bit over forty - and their second chance at love. World of Love: Stories of romance that span every corner of the globe. Is a fresh start realistic for two men in their forties? But before he can ponder the second chance they’ve been given, Nate must locate his nephew. The drive to Sydney, and the search of the city, gives Nate time to reconnect with Damien-and to wonder if he made the right decision years ago-when he determined a future for them was impossible.
When Nate’s nephew runs away, Damien accompanies Nate on his mission to find the young man. The reunion reignites old desire even while it stirs up Nate’s guilt over the way things ended with Damien. And like running into Nate’s first love, Damien, an out-and-proud local business owner who is unwilling to be any man’s dirty secret. He returns to the small coastal town where he grew up, but while life is simpler than it was in the city, there are also complications-like patients’ reactions to an openly gay doctor. Dr Nathan Powell is ready to settle down near his family, and hopefully find the man of his dreams.
