In
1942, Ben Williams had it all – a fulfilling job, adoring friends and the love
of his life, Pete Montgomery.
But
World War II looms over them. When Pete follows his conscience and joins the
Army Air Force as a bomber pilot, Ben must find the strength to stay behind
without the love of his life, the dedication to stay true and the courage he
never knew he'd need to discover his own place in the war effort. Good friends
help keep him afloat, until a chance meeting on the home front brings him an
unexpected ally—one who will accompany him from the stages of New York City to
the hell of the European warfront in search of his love.
Written
in the style of a 1940s film, Right Here Waiting pays homage to classic wartime
romances from the Golden Age of Hollywood.
Pete
realized he’d be completely and perfectly happy if this were the only thing he
could hear for the rest of his life—just Ben’s heart, strong and vital; if the
only things he could feel for the rest of his life were Ben’s chest rising and
falling steadily beneath his cheek and Ben’s breath gently rustling the curls on
his forehead.
His
patriotic zeal had dimmed a bit since coming over here; there was so much
pointless death and destruction on every side. And while he was determined that
right and good will eventually prevail, really all he was fighting for was the
right to go back home, to this man—to Ben, his Ben—and live the rest of their
lives together in peace and harmony. He clutched his fingers in Ben’s shirt,
daring anyone to take him away.

ReplyDeleteI'm not usually an M/M reader, but I like this twist on the war time/homefront story. Very innovative.
