MEANT TO BE
Chris Cox

Reviewed by Lizzie Bailey

Romance LGBTQ | Romance Contemporary

Rusty Duchene and Sean Delahunt are first loves that grew up together in New Orleans. A troubled history in life solidified their love and after Sean graduates, he struggles to find a job. Finally, he finds an offer, in BOSTON and a choice has to be made when Rusty doesn't want to leave behind his adoring family.

Will Sean accept it and leave behind the love of his life?

What a beautiful read!

As a short story, MEANT TO BE ends way too soon as Chris Cox draws you into their world and leaves you begging for more. Their love is deep and one that you hope will continue, but will it?

It's not often that a free story (via Amazon Kindle) is a good read, but Chris Cox delivers. I found myself getting teary eyed and saying, "Aww" so much my husband finally laughed, "What are you doing over there?"

I quickly ordered book two and cannot wait to finish it, as well as the other in the Bayou Boys series, to see where this couple is headed.

SUMMARY

Laissez les bons temps rouler! After a tough job search, Sean is offered his dream jobโ€”in Boston. But for Rusty, moving to Boston means leaving the career and the family he loves. Stay or go? Either way, someone loses. Will their love survive the sacrifice?
