Jonah Roberts hasn’t seen his former foster brother, Christian Sanchez, in fifteen years. He never forgot the younger man, whose last words of love have lingered in his mind since their emotional parting. He comes home to help Christian as a last request by Marisol, the foster mother who believed in Jonah.

Christian never thought he would see Jonah again, but there he stood impressive as ever and offering his assistance. The years of distance haven’t dampened the love that first sparked to life fifteen years ago. No longer looking at him through the eyes of a teenager, Christian is a man who wants to rediscover Jonah and learn all of his secrets.

Will a dying wish be the kindle needed to reignite their shared love?

Set in a rural Florida town, A Fostered Love tells the story of two deserving men who discover a new chance at life and love. Thrown into a bad existence from the time he was born, Jonah hardened his heart and hasn’t allowed much to penetrate the shell surrounding it. Christian is strong enough not to settle for second best. He’s openly gay and refuses to hide his preference, especially in the small town he calls home. The passion shared by the two is clear and I was surprised they could contain it for so long. Cameron Dane’s characters always leap off the page and appear to be larger than life. Regardless of their differences, Christian and Jonah both crave love and acceptance. A Fostered Love is definitely a love story, but it also contains elements of suspense and drama that give it a nice balance. I have a feeling there’s at least one more story coming, and the supporting characters will get their chance at love and happiness. Cameron Dane’s fans won’t be disappointed and those new to her writing will add her to their list of favorites.
