paddlefoot55 's review for:
Always
by Kindle Alexander
ARC received for an honest review
This is a m/m romance.
This book should come with a warning ~ do not read without tissues within reach!
It has been days since I finished reading Always, and it is still in my thoughts. Can we say "book hangover".
Avery Adams and Kane Dalton are soul mates, pure and simple. Though I am not a fan of insta-love, and this is definitely an insta-love relationship, this didn't bother me at all. Perhaps as the story spanned such a long period of time? Maybe it is just that I love these characters so darn much?
Always follows their relationship over 40 years, starting in the 70s when being openly gay is strictly taboo. To make things more difficult, Kane is devout Christian and believes his feelings are wrong, and Avery is a public figure, and America is not ready for a gay Senator.
At times I wanted to reach in to my kindle and shake Kane though. He was forever on about how their relationship was wrong and it felt a lot of the time that we were waiting for something bad to happen, even though their relationship was travelling along beautifully. I could understand why he felt that way, but there had been no reason for him to be that way after all their years together.
It was wonderful being swept up in the story, drawn into the lives of Avery and Kane, so much that I felt that I was in the book with them.
Always also gives us a bit of an insight into what it would have been like to be in a homosexual relationship back in the 70's. I have no problems if you are straight, gay, purple with pink spots. Your heart wants what your heart wants.
Always is an exceptional beautiful story about finding ALWAYS love. Ms Alexander has a knack with words, and writes wonderfully heartwarming stories that will stay with you long after you finish reading.
Word of warning though on those tissues. Have them ready. I am not ashamed to admit that for the last 15% of the book I was crying. Really crying. Puffy eyes, howling, pain in the chest, snotty nosed ugly crying.
Thank you, Ms Alexander, for bringing Avery and Kane into my life.
