Aidan Morgan has returned to his home town of Redemption, Maine for one thing, to seek forgiveness and convince Ethan Ashworth that he deserves a second chance. Many years ago the two best friends shared a kiss and confessed their love. Then next day Aidan was gone and Ethan was left heartbroken and wondering why he left. Thirteen years have passed and now Aidan is back. Will Ethan be able to forgive him or will Aidan be forced to continue his life alone?

The first book in the new Seeking Redemption series Aidan and Ethan is a rollercoaster ride of heartbreak and second chances. I’m usually not a big fan of books that rely heavily on flashbacks to tell the back-story but Cameron Dane, as is the norm with this talented author, manages to have the story flow from past to future and back with nary a hitch. I’ve been a fan of Ms. Dane and her work since reading her first book on the day it debuted. I become a bigger fan with each story that she writes and Aidan and Ethan is another jewel in her crown. Aidan and Ethan are both multifaceted characters. Neither is perfect, both are realistically flawed and that just adds to their appeal. Although mistakes have been made on both men’s parts you are left with the feeling that maybe the biggest mistake, the one made when they were young, in the end was the best that they could make. Both were young and now they are older and much more mature, the kind of mature where they can handle a relationship as all encompassing as theirs. I felt the love between the two men from the very first page and eagerly devoured their story. I love how even secondary characters written by Ms. Dane are more than just props in the story and can’t wait to see if the next book follows who I think it will.
