Author's Summary: When John Sheppard and Rodney McKay meet, they both want to leave their old lives behind and start over. John is determined not to enter another relationship. Rodney has to finish his latest book. They agree to share a house for practical reasons, but as their house turns into a home, they have to realize that their relationship is turning into much more than that of roommates.
Review:
Rodney and John independently decide to move to a coastal town for very different reasons but are pulled together by a house by the water. What begins as the sharing of a house turns into the sharing of hearts.
If I were to use one word to describe New Shores it would be “beautiful. This is a beautifully written story with a beautiful house, a beautiful coastline, beautiful food, beautiful people, and most importantly, beautiful love. New Shores is not a story of star-crossed lovers or angsty, passionate love, yet it will still make your heart ache, in a good way - watch out for the food-making scenes. This is a solid 42K of slow, simmering romance, without any depiction of sex but just as hot. Highly recommended for the true romantic!
