Always by Kindle Alexander Book Review




 

Born to a prestigious political family, Avery Adams plays as hard as he works. The gorgeous, charismatic attorney is used to getting what he wants, even the frequent one-night stands that earn him his well-deserved playboy reputation. When some of the most prominent men in politics suggest he run for senate, Avery decides the time has come to follow in his grandfather's footsteps. With a strategy in place and the campaign wheels rolling, Avery is ready to jump on the legislative fast track, full steam ahead. But no amount of planning prepares him for the handsome, uptight restaurateur who might derail his political future.

Easy isn't even in the top thousand words to describe Kane Dalton's life after his father, a devout southern Baptist minister, kicks him out of the family home for questioning his sexual orientation. Despite all the rotten tomatoes life throws his way, Kane makes something of himself. Between owning a thriving upscale Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Minneapolis and managing his long-term boyfriend, his plate is full. He struggles to get past the teachings of his childhood to fully accept his sexuality and rid himself of the doubts brought on by his religious upbringing. The last thing he needs is the yummy, sophisticated, blond-haired distraction sitting at table thirty-four.

Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see what's coming next!

I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindle.

I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.

That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.

Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.

I am a HUGE fan of Kindle Alexander. Her style of writing and the emotion she puts into her work is just mind-blowing. Going into Always, I had no idea what to expect. The first Chapter of the book starts at the Present Day when Kane and Avery are older men and have been together for the past 40 years. I won't lie, I was turned off immediately by this fact. What I didn't expect was to fall completely head over heels in love with these two. You will also need a box of tissues while read this book. I don't think I have ever been so emotionally involved in story. This is one incredible journey about two people are each others soul mates who have found true love.

After the first Chapter, you are taken back 40 years ago when Kane and Avery first meet at Kane's restaurant La Bella Luna. From the minute Avery laid eyes on Kane, he knew Kane was his one. Avery is a force to be reckoned with and do anything in his power to make Kane his. I loved Avery's protectiveness of Kane and his need to shield him from anything that may hurt him. I loved his take charge attitude. Although I loved Avery, my heart went out to Kane the most. His insecurities make him the shy one and although he knows what he wants, he has a different way going about it.

There are so many other things I could say about this story but it just leaves me speechless every time. This is such an epic love story that will leave you emotionally attached forever. This story has moved to my top favorite of all time. So please buy your copy today so you can experience the love story between these characters. Their love will forever live on... ALWAYS!

Cheers,
Holly
