This story is about letting go of the past, finding new love and starting afresh. It is an interesting mix between getting to know that past rather intimately in the first half then telling the story of how Caleb finds a new beginning. At first I thought it was strange to spend so much time (comparatively speaking) on the story with Tarkan. But the interesting thing was that it enabled me to identify all the more closely with Caleb. I have been through his relationship with Tarkan, as it were, and my ability to ‘suffer his loss with him’, so to speak, was much higher.

If you like short stories with a lot of emotion, some very hot sex scenes and an uplifting message, you will probably like this one. Especially as it comes with quite some depth for a story this short, some great Mediterranean scenery and characters I liked and felt for.

Caleb and Tarken had such a special relationship but with Tarken gone will Caleb be able to let go and move on. I think the fact that he met Adem before made it easier for Caleb to feel again. This is a very emotional story. ( )
