Blurb:The old sugar maple features strongly in Stuart’s life. He’d first met Harry here, while he was completing a college project. He’d been eighteen, Harry twenty-one. They’d started dating soon after. Harry had proposed under the maple—down on one knee, the whole nine yards. Under its branches, they’d decided to buy a house together, and here, many years later, Stuart had scattered Harry’s ashes.

For six years, Stuart has been alone. He feels he’s had his chance at love, and doesn’t expect to find anyone else. Then he meets Tom. But Tom is twenty years his junior and Stuart can’t take that in his stride.

Their age difference is irrelevant to Tom. He knows Stuart is it for him, the one man who can give him everything he didn’t know he needed, and he can offer the same to Stuart. All he has to do is convince Stuart to give them a chance. Once again, Old Man Maple is witness to life-changing decisions.

Review:Never too late, Stuart is 47, was in a loving relationship for over twenty years, lost his lover to heart disease, six years ago and recently retired from his stressful job after a heart attack. He now blogs and takes photos of trees.

Tom brings his best friend Deanna home to Rochester to her grandmother’s after a bad sprain and a breakup with her boyfriend. He meets Stuart, a man Deanna claims as an uncle, and falls in love instantly.
This is a lovely story of two men that both want and need a man to love, cherish, protect, long-term. The only difference is about twenty years. This bothers Stuart.

I adore all the characters in this story, even the dogs. I even liked the love at first sight thing since they didn’t actually rush to act on it. Both men were practical and let the relationship grow naturally. The sex is sensual and loving when it finally came. (No pun intended)

I highly recommend this to anyone that believes in love at first sight, loves trees, photography nurses, dogs and hot sensual mansex and a happy ending.
