Review

An emotional story of a young love that is torn apart and leaves them both heartbroken and struggling.

My first book by Aria Brennan, and I was impressed. It’s an epic story that spans many years and brings all the emotion. The joy of two young friends, their sexual discovery and first love, to that love being ended by the expectations of a rich and powerful family.

I love a story where what happened in the past is fed to us slowly. I love a good reveal because it makes us sit with emotions before knowing if those were the emotions we should be feeling.

Both guys suffered, but what we knew for sure was that their love was everything, then and now.

I could have used a little more dialogue rather than just descriptions and inner monologue, but overall I did enjoy the righting style.

Synopsis

ALEX

What if you only ever get one shot at love?

I had my chance. A chance at a love so complete, so pure, so all-consuming that when it was gone I was shattered. It’s been five years since the love of my life walked away from me, his promises to love me forever becoming little more than a pretty lie.

Jade Rosewood was always destined for a life far bigger than mine. The son and heir to the global Rosewood media empire, I was never more than a distraction to be crushed. Besides, he has moved on, lives a glamorous life in New York city. He even went and married a woman.

I have never moved on.

But then a gay cheating scandal has Jade Rosewood’s marriage imploding, splashed about the news like it’s everyone’s business and I am spiraling. Then, a knock at my front door sees my life flipped upside down and a chance at maybe, just maybe, finding that once-in-a-lifetime love again before it slips away forever.

Never Getting Over You is a light-on-angst, heart crushing, sweet-as-pie love story, with two adorable, heartbroken boys who pine and yearn for each other from the opposite sides of the globe but for whom outside forces would rather see kept apart. Contains tender M/M moments that will hold your heart to ransom and leave you wanting more.

About Aria Brennan

Who am I? I’ll never tell.

I'm a coastal girl at heart (total shocker if you've read any of my books) and sometimes I just can't imagine a better place to find love than a hot summer's eve on the back of a surfboard.

Throw in a strong coffee or a glass of Australian Riesling and what more could you ask for from life?

I write to escape the real world which is nowhere near as fun. I've spent too much of my youth as a corporate lawyer in the wine and spirits world. I hail from Adelaide, Australia but writing is universal and I will set books anywhere that suit the story that needs to be told.
