From the Ashes by Denver Shaw

 


An Age Gap Gay Romance

Can true love rise from the ashes of heartbreak? Myles
After suffering the tragic loss of my wife, my lone goal was to raise our son to be a man she would be proud of.
Romance was the furthest thing from my mind, and unfortunately cooking was not on my mind either.
When Christmas dinner goes up in flames, a firefighter who looks like he stepped right off a calendar bursts through my door and all my priorities change in an instant.
New feelings emerge as I find myself attracted to a man for the first time.
But Landon is a much younger man who thrives on no-strings-attached hook-ups.
How can I risk my heart, and my son’s, by bringing someone into our lives knowing he's going to leave? Landon
I don't believe in labels, or denying myself sexual pleasure with a consenting partner, regardless of gender.
Want to hook up with a hot firefighter?
I’m your guy.
But relationships aren't my thing… until a fateful Christmas Day fire brings Myles into my life.
I thought I could ease the widower into the dating scene and guide him through his bi-awakening.
Yet as soon as I see him dating other guys I realize this is no fling.
I want him all to myself. age gap, hurt/comfort, bi-awakening, single dad, size difference, found family.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Myles and Tristan are both in need of some healing and maybe together, they can accomplish that. Myles has been struggling since the unexpected death of his wife. Almost a year later, and he is trying to keep it together not only for himself but his son Phoenix as well. And when Myles tries to cook them a nice Christmas dinner, well it doesn’t go according to plan. Up in smokes, he is surprised when his neighbor rushes through the door to help. Tristan is a firefighter and their hero. And the beginning of Myles waking up to the idea of love again. Myles loved his wife and met her when he was young but suddenly, meeting Tristan and getting to know him, makes him realize there was a part of himself that he didn’t know existed. And he wants to discover more but only with Tristan. If Tristan will let him in. Tristan lost his parents at a young age and doesn’t really have anyone in his life to call his own. He’s used to it. But meeting Myles and Nix, he wants a family. He wants to be their family. If he can let Myles in and tell him the truth about his feeling. It will take a lot for these two to overcome their fears and be willing to take that leap of faith but once they do, they may find what they were looking for after all. Another great story from Denver! 

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
