Can Porter resist the first love who shattered his heart? Can Kane find a life of his own without ruining someone else's? Can Porter juggle his heart, his family and his business, without losing everything?

Review:

**This book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review**

Porter and Kane's story begins in 1997. When they are 18, Kane breaks Porters heart by leaving for the Army. After 17 years of having no contact Kane returns to Surf Bay. He is drawn back to Porter, but is it too late for them? Has too much time passed to heal their broken hearts?

I loved the premises of the book. I loved the story line. But these characters were frustrating. Every time I thought one of them was about to come to their senses and make a move they pulled back. I wanted to knock their heads together.

Porter, I wanted to hug Porter. He is a totally different character than the person we met in Lost and Found. Lost and Found would have been an appropriate title for this book as well, because Porter is very lost.

My biggest complaint is I wanted to see them as a couple. I saw a lot of sexual tension and chemistry, but I wanted to see it developed and explored.

Ashley has a good writing style, and his books move along nicely, I just wish his characters would get together as a couple sooner in his books. I had the same complaint with Oliver and Charlie. All in all its a good read.
