Long Way Home

A Second Chance Gay Romance

By: Nicky James

Narrated by: Nick J. Russo

It was love at first sight.

They were soul mates.

It was forever.

But they were only 16.

Too innocent. Too naïve.

Too ignorant about the world around them.

Besides, nothing lasts forever.

With their fairy-tale future torn to shreds, both boys need to learn to find their own way in an unforgiving world.

Gavin Buchanan is thrown into a life he didn’t want, molded to do a job he always feared. He must learn to get by, but with only his brothers in arms to lean on and secrets so deep they eat at his core every day, he struggles. How long until life in the Marine Corps turns this gentle, tenderhearted man into someone no one recognizes?

Owen Wallace is adrift and going through the motions. Every time he tries to stand tall and put the past behind him, life kicks him down. There is only so much a person can take before they turn bitter and jaded. It wasn’t supposed to be this way.

Their souls are bound to each other.

Nothing will keep them apart.

It will take time, but they just need to find their way home.

Trigger warning for PTSD.

Beautiful

WOW! Pretty exciting, scary, happy, angry, etc. A beautiful love story about love, struggle and strength.

Loved it just a little long

I love Nicky James and Nick Russo. A true Duo. This story depressed me a lot. I guess I read to step out of reality and this book put me in reality. I was so down reading it. Idk it was well written but just sad. Although the ending was nice I just want to say why does life have to be so freaking hard for some???? I don’t know if I’ll reread as my heart is so down over what they went through. Good writing for realism.

Wow

I laughed,i cried, i hucahchoked... could not out it down! If you find you need an emotional purge, this book will absolutely do it.

Gut wrenching

OMG, the angst. I admit, this is probably the angstiest book I have ever listened to and that’s by choice. I did love these characters and book and Nick J Russo was amazing narrating and I couldn’t stop listening (like I only slept for 3 hours before work because I kept saying just one more chapter’). That being said, I was also crying my way through most of the book. It was really gut wrenching. This was a long and incredibly hard fought HEA and I don’t think I could have made it through without that guarantee. Although, I would have liked a little more time to enjoy that. Definitely worth a listen, but make sure you have LOTS of tissues!

Nicky outdoes herself everytime

Beautiful sad story with a happy ending
The angst, the love between Owen and Gavin— Nicky is very underrated. I eat up every book she puts
