THIS QUOTE IS SIMPLY PERFECT FOR THIS BOOK! HERE IS MY REVIEW:
Passing Through by: Jay Northcote
reviewed by: Becky
Don’t waste
a chance at happiness…
Leo is a lonely
workaholic with no time for romance in his life. His job in London
takes all his energy and commitment. When he goes to Cornwall to stay
with his terminally ill uncle, Edwin, love is the last thing Leo
expects to find.
Tris lives in a
cottage on Edwin’s land. Gay, but still half in the closet, he and
Leo bond over their affection for Edwin, and the pull of attraction
between them proves too strong to ignore. In Tris’s arms, in the
wilds of Cornwall, Leo finds a peace he’d forgotten existed.
On his return to
London, Leo finds himself grieving for more than just the loss of his
uncle. When some unexpected news gives Leo the chance to return to
Cornwall, he’s afraid it will be too late to rekindle things with
Tris. But having learned much from his stay with his uncle, Leo
doesn’t want to look back and wish he’d done things differently.
It’s time to
seize the day—if it’s not already too late.
I love this book for the lessons it teaches you, and for the characters so lifelike you can really relate to them all on some level! Leo is so wrapped up in his work and city life that when he goes to stay with his Uncle Edwin in his last days, he has some winding down to do, he never thought winding down would entail finding the man he wants above all others!
Tris lives on Edwin's land in a small cottage, and he and Leo couldn't be more different, but different is good in this case and the two quickly acknowledge there is a spark there. Can these two men get over their hurdles and make a life together?
This story will make you feel things most books don't, you want to climb in it and help these two men out at times, but the path to love is not always easy, but it is always worth it, join these two men and a lovely cast of characters as they learn this lesson and many more! Thanks Jay, for giving us a book of lessons that is so beautiful in the teaching!

HERE IS THE EXCERPT:
Excerpt:
On the beach they
crunched along the shingle to the edge of the rocks, then turned to
look out over the sea. It was almost completely dark now, and the
moon was rising, casting streaks of bright silver on the oil-black
water.
They stood in
silence, watching and listening to the crash of the waves. Leo’s
heart felt suddenly too large for his chest. He was overwhelmed by
the beauty of the place, a place that had barely changed since his
childhood. The sea came and went with the tides, the sands shifted,
but the rocks were constant. Yet here Leo was, an adult now rather
than a boy, and his uncle reduced to an echo of the man Leo
remembered—physically, at least. Unexpected tears prickled the
backs of Leo’s eyes as a rush of emotion so strong that it made him
draw in a sharp breath assaulted him. He swallowed hard, forcing the
feelings back down.
Out of his
peripheral vision, he saw Tris turn towards him, but Leo carried on
gazing out at the gentle, rolling movement of the sea. Tris shifted
his feet in the sand, bringing him closer. The warm skin of his arm
brushed Leo’s, and Leo ached for more contact. He needed human
warmth and touch to chase away the cold emptiness in his heart.
YEP, THIS BOOK IS THAT GOOD! HERE IS A LITTLE INFO ON JAY: AND LINKS TO GET TO KNOW HER!
Jay
lives just outside Bristol in the West of England, with her husband,
two children, and two cats.
She
comes from a family of writers, but she always used to believe that
the gene for fiction writing had passed her by. She spent years only
ever writing emails, articles, or website content. One day, she
decided to try and write a short story–just to see if she could–and
found it rather addictive. She hasn’t stopped writing since.
