Graham Hodson
lives for adventure. His entire life has revolved around his obsessive wanderlust. His inner fear of staying in one place or being with one person for too long has kept him on the go. The last thing he expects is a sudden diagnosis to ground his travel—permanently.

Boyce “BC” Brooks has screwed up his lifelong dream of being the captain of the English national rugby team. He’s lost everything. When his uncle leaves him an inn and a dog in Cornwall, he has little choice but to try his hand at innkeeper.

Can two jokesters kicked around by life and their own decisions find stability when their world shakes beneath their feet?
Dahilia Donovan blew my mind with this one.

The Wanderer is an emotionally gripping journey of a nomadic soul who spends his days traveling the world and effectively running from love.

When he stumbles across BC, Graham quickly finds someone worth giving up his heart again.

But love is not without heart ache.

I cried throughout parts of this book and fell so madly in love with BC who more than exemplified the meaning of unconditional love.

You have to one click this one today. I promise you it's worth it.

Have the tissues ready everyone because you are going to need them. I'm going to let you in on a little secret, right now I both love and hate Dahlia Donovan for her book the Wanderer. I just...wow. I had to keep putting it down so that I could ball my eyes out. The feels and the raw emotions that you feel while reading this book will have you reeling long after you finish it. I can't say enough about this book. I will warn you though that it can be a difficult read due to the subject matter of someone fighting a battle with a horrible disease. However, if you can read it, it is well worth it and I highly recommend it. 

Graham travels the world and writes about his adventures. He's not looking for love, but even he can't hide the fact he feels an attraction that scares him toward BC, the man he hooked up with in a closet at a friend's wedding. That aside, he doesn't want love to complicate his life, however, he is about to get some news that will shock his life, and as much as he doesn't want to depend on anyone, he realizes that he needs BC. 

BC is a rugby player that had been let go from the team. Butt hurt and bitter from that, the one bright spot in his dreary life is meeting Graham. Now if only he could convince Graham to give them a shot. That said, fear has a way of bringing people together. 

The feels, the characters, the story...you have to read this one. It will break your heart, but if you stick it out, it will put the pieces back together. The characters are realistic, their reactions are perfect and not too over the top or unbelievable. And the story itself is so well written that I had a hard time believing it wasn't real. Pick it up today. 5 stars!
