Summary

For Jacob and Daniel, two young gay men aboard a US Navy ship in WWII, the risks are high. Not only the risks of injury and death from Japanese planes and submarines, but the risk of discovery. Only a special kind of love is worth taking that chance. But from the moment Daniel meets Jacob's eyes across a battle-scarred deck, he knows he has to try. Being together requires figuring out what it means to be gay in an era when they could be discharged, imprisoned, or worse for admitting the desires of their hearts. Their relationship is measured in stolen moments and rare days of precious leave, with no guarantee there will be a tomorrow. And, if they survive the war, they will need even more luck to keep their love alive through the years to come.

This novel was written as part of the Goodreads M/M Romance Group's 2012 Don't Read in the Closet writing event: Love is Always Write.

Some mascara warning ⚠️ as it is a little bit of a tear jerker.
Some angst.
Amazing how the LGBTq+ of yester year managed and were so brave. Love is Love.

The story is always full stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, I’m over the half, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

as good as the ebook

From 17 to 87 years old. A lifetime of love between Daniel and Jacob, through war and peace, highs and lows, but always together. A beautiful, heartfelt story.

A lifetime of love.

The story follows two men - from the perils of WW2 through difficult times in the late 20th century. The narrator did a great job with the voices - from young to old. He was very easy to listen to and I will look out for more books narrated by him. (I already know I like Kaje’s books!)

Lovely - very moving story

I'm not sure how long I had this audiobook in my Audible library before I finally made time to listen to it. However long, it was too long. It's one of the most amazing stories I've listened to in quite a while. Not only does it span decades in a way that was amazing, it was just an absolutely beautifully told story. Yes, there is some angst due to the subject matter and time period that the story takes place during, but there is also the most wonderful HEA.

I probably picked this up originally because of a recommendation I got somewhere. I think I was slightly hesitant to listen to the audiobook because I was unfamiliar with the narrator/performer and sometimes samples don't always tell you enough. In any case, this story will stick with me for a long time. It's already been about two weeks since I listened to it and I can still remember it all vividly.

Kaleo Griffith's voice was perfect for this story and I'm so happy that I finally listened to it.

This story and audiobook is worth at least ten sta
