Review: Fifteen Years Later by Taylor Brooks

Peter Collingswood was a successful businessman. He and his father had built a lucrative empire together. His life was rich with opportunity, and he wanted for almost nothing. Except for one man who had haunted his dreams since a summer night fifteen years ago.

Dex Henry was an uncomplicated man who lived his life simply. His bank account was as modest as they came. Still, despite his lack of money there was nothing that he wished for. Except for the one man he knew he could never have.

When a tragedy in Peter’s family brings him back to Crystal Cove, he finds himself face-to-face with Dex once again. As the spark they once shared reignites neither of them is aware that a threat lurks in the surrounding forest. Will the danger destroy them both? Or will they be able to salvage what they walked away from fifteen years ago?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

This was a good one. Short, sweet, and to the point, “Fifteen Years Later” tells the story of Peter, a wealthy businessman who’s come to the family getaway home on a private island, and Dex, the owner of a local general store. The two have a bit of a history. Fifteen years ago (thus the title), when they were young, they had an encounter on the beach that neither has forgotten. Peter and Dex were obviously meant to be together. They’ve pined for each other for all these years, and they fall back into a comfortable, but exciting life.

What I really enjoyed about this book was that, not only was there some great romance and hot sex, there was some mystery, and some violent intrigue. Even though it was quite short, the whole story fit together very well. The characters were pretty well fleshed out, and even the background characters were good…just involved enough to give some background, but not so much that they were overpowering.

If M/M romance is your thing, this is a great book to check out. As I said, it’s not very long. You can read it in one sitting and feel satisfied. Taylor Brooks is a favorite of mine when it comes to manlove. She never fails to deliver for me, and I will recommend her books to anyone who asks.
