Born to a prestigious political family, Avery Adams plays as hard as he works. The gorgeous, charismatic attorney is used to getting what he wants, even the frequent one-night stands that earn him his well-deserved playboy reputation. When some of the most prominent men in politics suggest he run for senate, Avery decides the time has come to follow in his grandfather's footsteps. With a strategy in place and the campaign wheels rolling, Avery is ready to jump on the legislative fast track, full steam ahead. But no amount of planning prepares him for the handsome, uptight restaurateur who might derail his political future.
Easy isn't even in the top thousand words to describe Kane Dalton's life after his father, a devout southern Baptist minister, kicks him out of the family home for questioning his sexual orientation. Despite all the rotten tomatoes life throws his way, Kane makes something of himself. Between owning a thriving upscale Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Minneapolis and managing his long-term boyfriend, his plate is full. He struggles to get past the teachings of his childhood to fully accept his sexuality and rid himself of the doubts brought on by his religious upbringing. The last thing he needs is the yummy, sophisticated, blond-haired distraction sitting at table thirty-four.
REVIEW:
I want to tell everyone the truth. You know when you read a lot of anything and it all becomes the same. You know what is going to happen before you turn the page or it’s just junk and the end comes and you want to throw the book on the floor. Yes, I do throw my IPad on the floor. I actually bought a good cover for it because I just can’t help it. So… I haven’t been reading a lot of books lately. I just felt like they were all the same and even the hot scenes just weren’t hot any more. Anyone that reads a lot gets there and it takes something different to pull you out of the funk you’re in… or maybe it’s the funk that the writers are in. Then I read ALWAYS! I have to tell you that the blurb really doesn’t do it justice. You would think this would be about Avery trying to get Kane to fall for him and (this being my first Kindle Alexander book) that there would be a happy ever after (read – I really don’t want to throw my IPad again). I realize now that this is what I don’t like about romance in a way. You fall in love with your characters and you wonder what happens next. Then you’re thrilled when they have a sequel and you get to read more but eventual the sequels get boring and you move on to something else just to have it happen all over again.
Here comes a nice twist, it’s just brilliant!!! This book is Avery and Kane’s life together. It starts in the present and then goes back 40 years. You fall in love with both of the men as they fall in love with each other. Then instead of wondering what happen to them, Kindle moves you forward through their lives. Every chapter or two was another chapter of their life. I never read a book like this ever. Always is an old fashion, you complete me, love story. I am so glad that I didn’t realize there was a bunch of hype about the book. Reading it without knowing the whole story will make it that much better for you. You just need to know that this is a great read - no need for a sequel - beautiful romance that makes you believe in a love that can last for ALWAYS!! But make sure that you keep tissues nearby. I didn’t and was reading outside under the tree. I had nasty stuff dripping on my IPad and well let’s say that jacket couldn’t be worn again without going through the wash. A book is really great when you have to use your sleeve - Alot!!!! Sorry girl, I will listen to you next time. ALWAYS gets 4 chocolate dipped strawberries from me. Enjoy!
