About this listen
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

Real and touching
This is now one of my favourite audiobooks I have listened to. The story and realistic portray of darkness of war and the challenges of being gay in the mid 1900's. I hold real gratitude to all the challenges of being LGBT+ in the past and how people navigated a non-conforming the times life.
Great characters, even some of the ones during the war and the real portrayal of what some soldiers would have went through many of the wars past. It makes you really think about why are these things still happening in our world 80yrs plus later.
The story is the real winner hear Keira has a way of introducing real peaks and flows in her stories and this one in particular was really well crafted. Thank you for writing this.

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.
