Then they become roommates when Ryan is looking for a place. These two men are nothing more than acquaintances that see each other on campus. And so begins a very, very slow going friendship. On a day when he's struggling, he meets John who helps him out. Ryan liked the adrenaline rush of being a firefighter, and will enjoy it as a doctor. Ryan is a ladies' man, but since his injury, he has been more reluctant to let someone seem him sans clothes. Ryan was a firefighter injured on the job, so he's moved on to the next part of his life and has gone back to college to pursue a career in medicine. He works for a local college and really lives a quiet life. Now he fights to get to see his children. He loved and married his childhood sweetheart. John is a divorced man with two children. This is about two men who have lived life, life threw them curveballs and they're living a new life. But, this isn't a story about two 20 year olds. I'm not going to call them "mature" men, because it makes them sound ancient. I've owned this book for a while but never found the time to read it, so I jumped at the chance to listen to the audio and I do not regret that decision! Well, except that I would have liked to listen to all three books in the series at once, but instead I ended up buying the next two books so I could finish Ryan and John's story with no long delay! I loved that this story was about two men older than their 20's.
The Rebuilding Year is the first book in Kaje Harper's series. Rebuilding will be far from easy, even for two guys willing to open their minds, and hearts. It's nothing they can't learn to navigate, until life adds in unhappy teen kids, difficult family members, and mysterious deaths on campus. But as casual friendship moves to something more, and emotions heat up, the big old house feels like tight quarters. Offering Ryan a room seems better than rattling around his empty house alone.
After moving twice to stay in touch with his kids, he could only watch as his ex-wife whisked them away to California.
Until he realizes he's falling in love with his housemate and things take a turn for the complicated. Now, choosing a new profession, going back to school, and renting a room from the college groundskeeper should be simple.
He fought and won the battle back to health, over a painful year. It took losing nearly everything to discover what they can't live without.Ī few excruciating minutes pinned under a burning beam cost Ryan Ward his job as a firefighter, the easy camaraderie of his coworkers, his current girlfriend, and damn near cost him his left leg.
