Tony Richmond has always dreamed of being a Marine and being gay didn’t stop his pursuit. Tony’s courage and willingness to work hard made his fantasy a reality. Twelve years into his career, Lt. Richmond’s dream job becomes a nightmare in the blink of an eye. Tony loses part of his leg, his lover, and the will to move forward.
Physical Therapist Marcus Jamison doesn’t see a crippled man but someone his heart longs to love. He sees Tony wallowing in self-pity and knows there is a stronger man beneath the hurt and disappointment, and decides to help him regain his life.
What a fantastic story! A war hero back home and in need of love and a not so gentle push back on his feet. I’ve gotten so used to reading stories about military personnel, and I’ll admit this was a nice change of pace. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not happy to see a man lose part of a limb. What makes this story a step up for me is the fact that the hero didn’t come back perfect, but he found the perfect supplier of love. Both men are strong and capable, and Lynn Lorenz gives them that much more of a human factor by showing their flaws and allowing them to wear them as badges of honor. Tony doesn’t believe anyone could love him because he doesn’t feel whole. Marcus wants to love him, but has his own fears to contend with while protecting Tony from a commitment he wasn’t prepared to deal with. The love is evident and encases you in a warm feeling. If you like your heroes not so perfect, but willing to take a chance at love, then you will enjoy It Takes A Hero.
