In Search of a Story

Oh the angst. This novel really took me for a ride, tragedy, romance, suspense, a dash of angst and all topped off with a happy ending that nearly made me cry (okay I might have cried a little). Perfect!

These men have a quick connection but they still have things to work out and through. Both men are driven and care about the careers they are building. I really love the way this story wraps up and further shows their caring nature.

Brad Torrence is a journalist and Cory Wolfe is a doctor, they meet the day that Brad goes to his house to interview him for a story for the newspaper he works. Brad thinks that Cory is married due to the newspaper add advertising the sale of new baby things ,never used. When Cory tells Brad his story of loss but also explained he is a gay man , the focus of the story changes. Brad shows interest for Cory and they start seeing each other after the article is published. Brad has another lead for a different story and enlist the help of Matt , Cory's brother , about corruption in a construction company. Cory is afraid of something happening but also he has still his grief and an offer to move to another state to do research ...
When tragedy strikes some decisions are made and they need to decide if want to be together.

I think this is one of my favourite Andrew Grey stories so far! This was a sensitive subject handled very well and it was nice to see a romance novel bringing light to the emotional issue of loss of a child, no matter who is losing or when the child is lost.
Brad meets Cory when he interviews him in relation to a classified ad he has placed, selling a pile of unused baby goods. Brad is expecting a story based on a grieving mother and father but finds something completely different, although no less painful and sorrowful.
As Cory shares his story, he finds that he is able to start moving forward with his life and Brad becomes part of the future he sees for himself.
Cory is a hardworking, family oriented man although grieving so his life is on hold. His large and caring family are trying to get him to move on. Brad is so understanding and supportive, offering the right amount of comfort and sympathy. It is wonderful to see Brad helping Cory but just as equally, Cory brings the joy of family to Brad who is an only child. The mother's of both men were a lovely addition to the story, reinforcing the strong family theme.
I really enjoyed the story in terms of the sweetness level but also found the dialogue particularly realistic. There was a perfect blend of sharing of emotions, romance and sex, without being to saccharine (ok, so maybe the epilogue was totally sweet and gave the perfect ending but I wanted it that way!)
\"So you're saying things happen for a reason,\" Cory whispered, and Brad heard the sadness in it.
\"No. Because I believe things happen, period. There isn't a reason behind everything that happens, no matter how much we might wish there was. Good things happen, sad things happen, and we make the most of all of them. All I'm saying is that we have the change to bring things full circle.....\"
