My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Everest Jones lost his wife and love of his life two Christmases ago and he has had a hard time coping ever since. He feels like he is drowning in grief while he tries to raise their three young kids while barely managing to make ends meet. He is exhausted, overwhelmed, depressed and lonely. Teacher Levi Washington is 25 and moved to Arizona to make a fresh start after losing his parents and partner in a road crash a few years ago. Running into his student and her family at the school’s trunk or treat event turns his world upside down when he finds himself instantly attracted to the handsome single father. Everest is determined to keep Levi at bay, and Levi has to do everything he can to convince the older man that he is what Levi wants, despite his pain and insecurities. That the two of them just might be what the other needs to help make each other whole.
I enjoyed this novella with the two men at different stages of grief who understand perfectly how things are and the friendship they developed. I loved the involvement of the kids and Everest's family to persuade him that Levi was very necessary and that they could be together. I loved the way that Levi stepped in when Everest had a family emergency and how he handled everything proving that he really could be the other half of Everest's soul. Easy to read, feel and understand. This is an MM story with mature content. If you suffer from grief like Everest please talk to someone and seek help.
