Can love survive heaven’s wrath? Artist Ted Armstrong lives a solitary and eccentric life. The survivor of child abuse disguised as religion, Ted has cut himself off from the world. Then Ted meets Anderson Taylor, and it’s like being struck by lightning. Anderson is a cardiac surgeon whose passion for his work has consumed him. He fears he’ll never find a partner—until he sets eyes on Ted. It’s happening fast, but both men know what they feel is right. Confronted with an angry preacher, a scandal, and an act of God that threatens to destroy everything, their relationship will face its first true test.I totally loved this book from the first page, and I am so glad that rather than start reading as I went to bed, I waited until the following morning to start - as I didn't stop until I had finished.
This is a book that shows you two men, from totally different backgrounds, who are both loners, although one is not by choice. They meet through Ted's work as an artist, and at first it seems like nothing will happen.
Things change, and Anderson and Ted meet again, and this time seem to be going somewhere with their budding relationship. However, there are always demons around, but in this book they were not from their past, but from the present.
Now we come across an angry preacher, who will shock you in more ways than one. Now add in an act of God, and who knows what will happen next - but I guarantee it will not be what you think will happen.
I am not going to spoil things and say what happens, but what I will say is that this is a book where once you start reading, you will find it hard to put down.
Excerpt:
“He was scared. “Grandma, what’s wrong?” “Thunderstorm, baby. Hang on,” she said to him, and then to his mother, whom he just spotted to their left, “Where’s the car?” “At the front of the lot. We were one of the first ones here this morning,” Ann said as she worked to keep up in her flip-flops. On the water, he saw his yellow bucket floating bottom down. It was spinning hypnotically, but it was when Anderson looked skyward he found himself becoming terrified. Above the lake, the sky had turned a sickly green. The clouds directly above it and moving in closer were swirling in a tight formation with what looked like a big black eye staring down at them. “Grandma! What’s that?” Anderson exclaimed pointing skyward. She stopped and turned to look.” “Oh, my God,” she breathed, mostly to herself. Anderson felt panic begin to set it. Someone shouted close to them, “Jesus Christ! It’s a tornado!”
