Will John be able to win Dwyer back or will he break his heart again?
There is a devious villain in this romance novel unlike any that you have ever encountered before. I won't give much away about this villain as I don't believe in spoilers but just to say that he is referred to in the prologue as (The Other) but his identity is revealed later in the book. There are multiple characters and stories within this one book and at times could be confusing but I just stayed strong with it all and the author cleared the way for a sweet love story. I would have loved to see each couple with their own book as I enjoyed these characters so much. I felt the HIV character of Mark could have easily had an entire book based on him. I loved how the author handled his HIV status and that he was very upfront about his illness and how he contracted the disease and his loving boyfriend who loved him unconditionally was so well written. The Rekindling of Love by Derrick Knight was a sweet love story filled with angst, redemption, mystery, forgiveness, drama, villain's and beautiful written characters.
