Seizing his one chance to escape, Ethan Hosking leaves his violent ex-boyfriend, leaves his entire life, and walks into the path of a raging bushfire. Desperate to start over, a new man named Aubrey Hobbs walks out of the fire-ravaged forest, alive and alone. With no ID and no money, nothing but his grandfathers telescope, he goes where the Southern Cross leads him.
Patrick Carney is the resident lighthouse keeper in Hadley Cove, a small town on the remote Kangaroo Island off the coast of South Australia. After the tragic death of his lover four years ago, he lives a solitary life; just him, a tabby cat, the Indian and Southern Oceans, and a whole lot of loneliness. Hes content with his life until a stranger shows up in town and turns Patricks head.
Patrick never expected to be interested in anyone else.
Aubrey never expected to be happy.
Between Aubreys love of the stars and Patricks love of the ocean, these two fragile hearts must navigate new waters. If they can weather the storm of their pasts, they could very well have a love that eclipses everything.
“Everything about you means comfort to me…Kind of like I’m lost at sea and you’re the lighthouse and safe harbour. I know when I’m with you, no one can hurt me.”
Even before I read the book, the cover of this book already captivating me with its beauty. Right from the first time I saw the cover, I just knew…that I’ll love the story with all my heart!
This story was sadly beautiful and I fall in love with Aubrey and Patrick right from the start. This very simply and common romance was beautifully written by N.R. Walker. And the way she made this simple story feels so deep was amazing!
I falling in love with both Aubrey and Patrick over and over again through their journey to find each other by the stars and ocean.
The strong connection between the two main characters was so strong right from the very start. The healing process and regaining the trust was not the easy thing for Aubrey, but he learn to trust Patrick and let his heart lead him to Patrick love. Patrick never thought that he will feel the love again after losing Scott. The hurt and grieving had put Patrick life feels so lonely. Everything start to change when Aubrey came to his life. And Patrick start to feels alive again.
I swoon and cried during the reading. And completely in love with Scott’s ‘ghost’ through Patrick’s light and heartwarming ‘chat’ with him. Whether it just Patrick’s imaginary chat or it’s his subconscious, Scott’s presence and his cat, Tabby, also becoming important part in this story. Because they knew, right from the start that Aubrey will bring back the light into Patrick’s lonely life…
And like the Southern Cross who lead Aubrey journey to find his own lighthouse and his home…it also lead Patrick to finally found his own star….
Galaxies and Oceans is a beautiful heartwarming love story about two wounded men who found and heal each other. This book definitely one of the best romantic story I’ve read this year!
Highly Recommended!
N.R. Walker is an Australian author, who loves her genre of gay romance.
She loves writing and spends far too much time doing it, but wouldn’t have it any other way.
She is many things: a mother, a wife, a sister, a writer. She has pretty, pretty boys who live in her head, who don’t let her sleep at night unless she gives them life with words.
She likes it when they do dirty, dirty things… but likes it even more when they fall in love.
She used to think having people in her head talking to her was weird, until one day she happened across other writers who told her it was normal.
She’s been writing ever since…
