Review

We first meet Alex. And let me tell you, I wanted to gag him! He’s an obnoxious little s**t. Even if you could see why he was the way he was I was completely exasperated by him. Which is a testament to the writing, and of course the audio narration that created such a vivid character. Also knowing that the author would make me fall for him along the way helped.

He’s a typical rich kid causing havoc everywhere he goes. Attitude for days. Couldn’t help but agree that the best place for him would be the last place he would want to be!

Noah is his opposite. Quiet, sweet, and completely selfless. It’s a match made in heaven really. Noah has lived a sheltered life, so you can see his attraction to the wild and impulsive man. And he’s exactly what Alex needs. Someone to show him care and attention.

This is an epic love story that spans many years, along with a heartbreaking period of separation. This first time around there were secrets. When they meet again, it’s time to lay it all out there and fight for such a beautiful love.

I love stories that span large time periods. There’s something about the growth that happens that satisfies my soul.

Highly recommend the story in either book or audiobook format.

Synopsis

One summer changes their lives forever…

Alex Ellison is well-educated, rich and good-looking. Too bad the ingredients of success haven’t mixed too well for him and instead of having the world at his feet, Alex has, once again, landed himself in a hot mess of trouble.

The community service his father arranges for him in a wildlife center on the other side of the country comes as a bit of a nasty surprise, though. Being shipped off to middle-of-nowhere, Oregon, is not Alex’s idea of the perfect summer vacation.

What Alex never expects is to meet Noah Price.

He never expects to be noticed and understood.

He never expects to feel valued and special.

He never expects to fall in love.

Everything is not what it seems, though, and love that feels invincible turns out to be anything but.

But love finds a way, and when Alex and Noah unexpectedly cross paths years later, they will have to risk it all for the love they both deserve and so desperately need.

Rare is a standalone MM Second Chance romance about first loves, one perfect summer, one debilitating secret and finding your forever.
