Survive and Conquer

As Usual Andrew Grey knocks another out of the ballpark. I loved everything about this story. I was drawn in since it was an age gap story and that is one of my favorite themes. Both Chase and Newton were so well developed. So unique and so easy to love that I was captivated. Then we had two special needs children and that made the story more adorable!
All I can say is if you like MM Romance, May/December and children and a great romance you gotta read this!

Andrew Grey's Survive and Conquer is a compelling and riveting romance. Classic Andrew Grey, it's wonderfully written, with a great storyline and fantastic characters.

This is a story of priorities and goals. It's a story of two men on opposite sides of the fight for people's rights. Chase, a lawyer, who can't always fight for what he wants, and who can't always fight the way he wants. And Newton, a social worker for families, who's only interest is helping people.

Together they're a fantastic couple. I adore Chase. Definitely confused and frustrated with his career, he's loving and fully aware that he needs to include Newton's kids in his time with Newton. And Newton is as loveable as it gets. A man who's heart is as big as can be, he's raising two special needs kids with endless amounts of patience, love, and care.

Including flashbacks to 9/11, beware if this is a trigger for you. Having been injured during the 9/11 attacks, Newton still suffers from the effects of that day and it's truly molded who he is. Meeting Chase helps him to improve his way of life, and move forward.

There's so much to love about this story. Both men are fantastic, troubled characters and the children are both sweet and lovable. Both the men and the children are survivors. Theirs is a beautiful story of healing. It's an amazing tale of finding that there's more to life than survival. A tale of opening up one's heart to living.

Their story involves some tough triggers. In addition to 9/11, it includes homophobia, custody cases, and abuse.

With just the right amount of angst, Survive and Conquer delivers a wonderful message to everyone. I highly recommend this book. It's the perfect book when you're looking for a poignant tale of putting the past behind you and of moving forward and embracing happiness.

Another great story by Andrew Grey. Newton and Chase are both dealing with demons from their past. Newton is struggling with PTSD, while dealing with the stress of working as a social worker and being a father to two special needs children. While Newton seems a bit meek, he starts off the story almost bullying Chase, a well-respected attorney into helping him with one of his cases. Chase is so understanding and sweet with the children. Like most of Andrew’s stories there is some drama stirred up by a family member but it’s not overtly angsty. You really can’t go wrong with an Andrew Grey book!!
