Liam • Theo

“In this moment, the quiet between us says it all, and the connection we share speaks louder than anything we could put into words.”

“Mo chridhe.” Yup. My little heart escaped my body. This right here is that type of book you should get comfortable with, wrapped up in a warm blanket because when you start, you won’t stop until you get to that happily ever after. While reading I felt like I was watching a movie play a long. The writing is so vivid it’s like film frames appeared before my eyes. Just beautiful. I smelled the smell of fish and sea throughout. And how deeply I delved into the characters emotions and felt the grief alongside. 

Wholesome. One word that describes this book perfectly. The way both characters support each other. Calming the storms inside them at the same time calming mine. Theo is one of these kind of characters I would love to have around in my daily life. There was just something so subtle and welcoming about him that I don’t blame Liam being spellbound by him. 

What can you expect from this book?
A kiss in the rain.
Two man that will stay on your mind.
A beautiful narrative. 
Chemistry.
Acceptance.
Healing. 
A little kitten.
A true love story.

“Because I always knew I’d be here forever.” // “I shouldn’t get close to anyone. But, in a way, it feels like he knows me already.” // “And as my eyes rest on him, my mind quiets.” // “I don’t even know what to say, or why I did that. I just… need him to be here, with me, for a moment longer.” // “Same.” // “Then he sends a photo, and I freeze.” // “The storm may be raging outside, but inside, the chaos I’ve carried for so long has finally faded away.” // “So thoughtful, gentle, and always making sure everyone around him is alright.” // “But being brave means knowing when to think of yourself too.” // “…looking out the bay window as the sun shimmers over the ocean like millions of tiny crystals.” // “But as an image of wild hair, soft freckles, and a warm smile takes over, I latch onto it and try to keep my storm at bay.” // “His own smile spreads across his face as he looks at me through the screen, and he gently taps his chest.” …
