An Auckland Med. Story
What if you’ve worked your whole life for a dream, to play rugby for the most successful sports team on the planet, the New Zealand All Blacks?
What if that dream is so close you can smell it?
What if you meet someone?
What if you fall in love?
What if your dream will cost the man who’s stolen your heart?
And what if the dream changes?
Reuben Taylor has a choice to make.
Cameron Wano is that choice.
Rueben Taylor is nearing reaching his dream, a chance to play for the All Blacks Rugby Team, but while at a wedding, he meets someone he will not forget - Cameron Wano. Rueben is in the closet though, and with a totally homophobic father, he doesn't see any reason to reveal his sexuality - especially as it would affect his brother and nephew too, and that is something they he will not allow to happen.
Rueben and Cam meet for coffee, and it is obvious from their meeting that they are both attracted to the other, but it seems like they are doomed not to get together. This proves not to be the case, and they do meet, and before long they are an item behind closed doors, but not in public, and this is a major sticking point for Cam. He has been hidden before and he will not be that person again - and thus ended their togetherness.
Rueben's performance in rugby begins to suffer as he is missing Cam dreadfully, but to his credit Rueben knows that his actions alone habe caused the rift. It seems like there is nothing that can be done, but fate does have other ideas, and they are in contact with each other again soon.
How long will it be before they both need to be in the presence of the other, and will Rueben ever decide that he can come out of the closet and claim Cam as his own - or will his deep seated demons be ones that prove to be hard to overcome.
I really did enjoy this book, it was a real roller coaster of emotions, at some times laughing at things Cam would say or do, and then it would be feeling so sad at what was happening. All I wish is that it was a little longer, and that all the loose ends were tied up, but as this is the second book in the series, I am now wondering if this means that there is another book to be released.
She is a cat aficionado especially of Maine Coons, and an avid dog lover (but don’t tell the cat). She loves to cook- pretty damn good, loves to sing - pretty damn average, and as for loving full-time writing -absolutely… depending of course on the day, the word count, the deadline, how obliging her characters are, the ambient temperature in the Western Sahara, whether Jupiter is rising, the size of the ozone hole over New Zealand and how much coffee she’s had.
She has complex boys telling stories in her head that demand attention and a considerable number of words to go with them. Their journeys are never straightforward and even surprise Jay. She does her best to plot things out ahead of time but those pesky characters seem to have a mind of their own. Go figure.
