Author Peter Styles is a young gay author with twenty-nine books under his belt already. Though he gives little in the way of biographical data, if the photograph on his bio page is indeed the author he does indeed command our attention! Now he joins forces with J.P. Oliver about whom we know little, but if an author with the style of Peter invites a co-author then we are assured he must have promise. For a first joint venture this book COMING HOME is a very strong beginning. And it appears this is to be a series they call FINDING SHORE, this being the initial installment.Peter writes love stories, romances that involve men, and his manner in bringing these stories to life is very polished. J.P. seems to add to that flavor with a special interest in military matters. They know how to grab our attention with a fine opening – “Falling in love with his best friend’s brother had never been part of Wesley Adams’ plan. Having the crush on his best friend’s brother—well, he was used to that. He’d had a crush on Sam Carlisle for nearly a decade. It wasn’t all that surprising that when the handsome, aloof Navy SEAL came home for leave, he spent their alone time hopelessly thinking about how nice their faces would be pushed together. But here they were, the night before Sam shipped off again, and Wes could feel his heart hammer beneath his chest in a way that it never had before. In a way that demanded attention. Demanded a response. The sky above them twinkled from the stars brightly shining. The Kansas sky had never looked half as good as it did that night. Wes thought every little ache inside his chest was etched into the atmosphere; every glimmering star was a reminder that things were going to dim so thoroughly, so soon. Sam Carlisle was leaving again and Wes couldn’t even muster the courage to kiss him. Wes swallowed around the lump in his throat and asked, “When do you leave?” Sam looked down from the patch of sky he, too, had been staring at. He watched Wes for just a moment before answering. “The morning.” The air crackled around them. For the first time, Wes told Sam exactly what he felt. “Don’t go.” “I have to.” “No, you don’t. Don’t go, don’t leave.” “I have to,” Sam argued. “I have to leave because it’s the right thing to do.” “Forget the right thing to do. Do what you want.”But on to the development of this story – ‘When Sam Carlisle was called away to the Navy SEALs, he left behind his family and the man he was falling for. Though he promised he’d come back, he never expected it to be like this: half-dead, bloodied, and terrified to say anything to the man he left behind. Wes Adams loved his town, his job, his best friend—and his best friend’s brother. But Sam is gone and hasn’t tried to reach out to him since their fateful first kiss. When Sam comes back from a dangerous mission, Wes embarks on his own: falling in love with a man who has already broken his heart. Can these two make the most of their second chance together, or has too much come between them for love to bloom once more?’Open the book and enjoy a well-written, erotic novel with a lot of twists that keep the tension rising. A fine evening’s read. Grady Harp, December 17
