Jack

Leaving was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. He would have killed me if I stayed, though. I couldn’t have done it without Warwick’s help. Not only did he give me the out I needed, but also a safe place to live. With my ex looming around every corner, looking for the chance to get his hands on me, I received the best gift ever—a month in England—and I took it!

Warwick

England was supposed to help Jack get away from his ex and find himself again. I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with him there. Especially when I knew he might stay… indefinitely. With my busy schedule as an ER doctor, an ocean between us, and the trust issues his abusive ex inflicted, the chance of a successful long-distance relationship is close to zero. Loving Jack may be the one thing I can’t fix.

Warwick meets Jack during his work as an ER doctor. Jack is in an abusive relationship and until Warwick offers to help him, Jack had no way to escape his situation. When Jack finally runs he takes Warwick up on his offer of help. The two men have an undeniable connection – but can they find their way to each other despite the hurdles in front of them?

I enjoyed this emotional and charged story. It was a difficult read, but in a lovely way – the author not shying away from showing Jack’s abusive relationship and the emotional and mental damage his ex inflicted upon him. Warwick was an excellent match for him – caring and patient. I normally don’t enjoy stories that are too realistic but I’m glad I gave this one a chance. The perspectives changed from Warwick to Jack and so I could easily understand where each man was coming from and this helped me feel really attached and care about both men and their situation.

I particularly loved how once Warwick and Jack fly to England – Warwick’s native country – Jack really comes out of his shell and into his own. To me, the story really blossomed from this point onward. It was delightful to see Jack return to the happy, outgoing and strong man he must have been before becoming trapped in his abusive ex-relationship. And while I’m not certain the timing of the relationship between Warwick and Jack was very realistic, considering how quickly it flourished and the horrible situation Jack had so recently left, it was still a pleasure to read and left me feeling very warm and happy.

Emotional and well-written, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I’d understand if it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea given the strong plotline of Jack’s abusive ex and the toxic ex-relationship, but I found it was written in a compassionate and hopeful manner and the happy ending between Warwick and Jack was just the icing on the cake. A great read and one I will happily enjoy again in the future.
