Publisher's Summary
The war is over. The battle for love has just begun.
As Marines, Cal and Jim depended on each other to survive bloodshed and despair in the Pacific. Relieved to put the horrors of war behind him, Jim went home to his apple orchard and a quiet life with his wife and children. Knowing Jim could never return his forbidden feelings, Cal hoped time and an ocean between them would dull the yearning for his best friend.
But when Jim's wife dies, Cal returns to help. He doesn't know a thing about apple farming - or children - but he's determined to be there for Jim, even as the painful torch he carries blazes back to life. Jim is grateful for his friend's support as he struggles with buried emotions and dark wartime memories. Then Jim begins to see Cal in a new light, and their relationship deepens in ways neither expected. Can they build a life together as a family and find happiness in a world that would condemn them?
Contains mature themes.

Beautiful story
The author did a great job of really immersing us in the realities of war, whilst not being a "war story". It was very believable, including the difficulties faced by gay men of the era. And as always a 5* performance by John Solo, I'm in awe of how 1 person can do such a brilliant job of voicing so many characters and making them all distinct.

Beautiful story
The friendship was so pure and caring and I felt much empathy for the time they had to live, I feel privilege to live in the time and country that I do now.
The War, which I felt viscerally, the detail was wonderfully descriptive and palpable.
The love story and angst and challenges of illegality and religion, it was so painful to read but I couldn’t stop. I just wanted these two lovely humans to have HEA

Heart warming tale
A simple story of love overcoming every possible setback but also a set of sub plots that made you really look at The difficulties that men had not that long ago in order to find the love that was forbidden to them. Really a beautiful story that warrants a second reading.

Heartwarming
I was sceptical about listening to gay romance from a female writer… but I’m now hooked on her books.
