T. S. Morgan

A final request from his grandfather leads to a mission for TJ. It turns out to be more than helping his grandfather find peace next to the man he loved but could never be with in life. Once in Inverness, TJ discovers there is much more to discover, and what he finds changes his life. There is much to this story that is implied, rather than being said, and I suspect this “sketchy” style will either help you love the story, or it will lead to confusion. I thought the style was interesting, but the author did assume I was able and willing to fill in much of what was missing on the page.

TJ has already survived the revelation that his grandfather was gay, when he discovers the next surprise. The man his grandfather loved also has a grandson, and Jamie is a few years younger than TJ. Curious to find out more, and wondering if Jamie is okay, TJ refuses to return home until he has found and talked to Jamie, who is an orphan. The romance that develops between them is instant, fast, and may not be to everyone’s liking. For me, because the story is set around Christmas, I was more willing to believe in the miracle of the two families finally being united through the grandsons of the original lovers.

If you like deeply romantic stories with insta-love that may not be entirely realistic, if you enjoy reading about men who overcome the obstacles of the past, and if you’re looking for a romantic read that bridges past and present, then you might like this short story.
