This is a love story about two young men. It is also a story about a love: a love that is so intense that it can enlighten, enrich and empower with a strength that overshadows everything else; a love that scares; a love that lasts; a dangerous love.

While on a routine summer family holiday to a Greek island, Oliver unexpectedly experiences such a love.

This masterful and beautifully written story takes us with him.

All I’ll add is that this is one of those stories for your ‘must read’ list.

CW, once again, you have blown me away. I almost quit reading after a few lines, then preserved, and was so glad I did. I was reading some of the story at work, and almost cried. I'm 70, and it takes an awful lot to get me to that point, but you did. I am so lucky you shared this story.

Response from the author:

I'm honored you gave the story a chance and that you were able to immerse yourself in it. Thank you for taking the time to review it. It means a lot!

“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

The best way to start the Review of this wonderful love story is to quote the greatest of all - master Shakespeare! A summer love between Oliver and Nico, born under the Mediterranean sun, baptized in deep blue sea, grown on white Greek marble stone under the antient olives, becomes a love of the life ... and more! Like opposites that attracts, blond and bronze boy, as yin and yang make this story epic and author's amazing testament to LOVE! I've cried many tears reading it, but, unlike Shakespeare's play, this is not tragedy, it's life. It's also the story of the meaning of the friendship and family, story of second chances, reconciliations - story about making peace with our past and ourselves.  

@CasualWanderer82 proved himself as good taboo stories author with some great smut scenes but this story shows that he excels in mainstream romance too. He dives into deepness of characters' feelings and emotions. For all the quality romance literature lovers, this story is a must read!
