One autistic coffee shop owner, one morose mug maker, and a mostly cheerful police detective.
Fie Morogh Russell goes off to war with a broken heart and returns with a shattered spirit. He hermits away in Bideford, Devon, making mugs, with his service dog, Haggard, for company. Post-traumatic stress turns every memory into a minefield, and life is dismal with one or two rare exceptions.
Davet Heuse drags his younger brother to Bideford for a new start. Both autistic, the two siblings have fought hard to enjoy freedom by the seaside. While Davet runs a coffee shop from his tiny house, his brother pursues his dream at university.
Detective Sidney Little has transitioned from military service to the police force easily. His unrequited crushes and his estranged father are the only points of frustration in his life. He hasn't quite figured out how to deal with either problem.
When a tragic accident brings Davet's world crashing down around him, can Fie and Sid help him through the pain of loss?
In this May-December romance with a twist, three men struggle through one obstacle after the other to somehow find themselves in love on the other side.
Dahlia Donvan has done it again! A brilliant story that will leave you emotionally both high and drained. I'm going to be honest, I didn't know what to expect from this book, but given this is one of my must-read authors, I had to check it out and I'm so happy I did. I was blown away by everything about this book.
So many times in books that go into a poly relationship, something gets lost in translation. The characters don't stand out as much, and even if the story has a good premise, it comes out bland or unbelievable. The stories seem more fantasy than reality, but not this one. It felt like I was reading about real people, the situation was believable, and the story blew me away. Creative, original, well-written, great characters, and so much more. Have tissues once again because this author knows how to wrench your heart out. I highly suggest you one click this book today. 5 stars!
