FROM EXCITING AUTHOR OF LGBTQIA ROMANCE TOM CRAMPTON
Book one in the Threads of Fate series
Fate randomly throws two young men together. Can they overcome their troubled pasts and form a relationship built on trust?
Most people would be jealous of Christopher, a thirty-year-old gay man living in the beautiful city of Bath, but he's secretly unhappy. His parents died years ago, and, ever since, he has been scared to form close relationships and sticks to one-night stands.
One day, Christopher spies a young man at Paddington Station, and admires him from afar. By chance, the object of Christopher' s fascination ends up sitting opposite him on his journey. After they part, Christopher assumes they' ll never meet again, until he joins a friend for a drink and encounters Daniel, the young man once more. They seem destined to meet, but each has a background that make it hard for them to trust each other. Will they be able to take a bold step into the unknown together, or will their relationship falter before it' s even begun?

Beautifully brilliant. Tom’s way with words and how he manages to set the scene so simply and organically is what makes this book. All the characters— including the ones on the side— are bursting with personality, there’s not a single one dimensional character present, giving readers at least one person they can find themselves relating to. You can tell a lot of love went into this book and that’s what makes it even more enjoyable for the reader. The journey of Christopher and Daniel is truly authentic, it feels like this is how real couples would behave when thrown into these situations rather than jumping through loop holes just to tie a pretty bow around it like some romance writers tend to do. Every chapter made me feel like I was with Christopher and Daniel every step of their relationship from beginning to end and I cannot wait to read more in the upcoming novels.

The author did a great job of portraying the complexities of forming relationships after experiencing loss and pain. The characters felt authentic and well-developed.
