Review: I wasn’t expecting the love song to be about recovery and moving on…I was thinking maybe it would be about the romance between Dylan and Landon, and it was in a way, but it was different. That’s not a very good descriptor, I know, but this is not a typical romance novel, it was simply love and commitment in the most trying of situations, in the most purest of forms, while attempting to come out whole and intact on the other side.

Landon and Dylan were the victims of a vicious attack that left Landon on death’s door and Dylan reeling from the repercussions and possibly a life without the man he loves, the man he was set to marry. We get all the many feels of the tragedy that is their life, but we also get the beautiful love that grows even stronger because their commitment to each other never falters.

This is not a sexy story, it is not a typical romance of boy meet boy, but it is one of the most beautiful tellings of true love, perseverance, and creating a new happy ending.

Overall Impression: I really liked it

*I received a copy of this book from the publisher in return for a fair and honest review.*
