Jordan S. Brock is a new to me author and I don’t think I could have picked a better book for an purestdelightawardintroduction to her work than Change of Address. This gay romance featured two men, both broken in their own way. While there was some sex in this book, there was a slow build up to it and it wasn’t the focus of this book. The focus was these two men finding a way to be together despite their issues, finding acceptance in one another, and for one finally being out in public despite his family retributions. Intense, highly emotional, and beautifully told I loved Change of Address.
Two years after a bullet shattered his brain and his Air Force career Michael Baldwin has escaped D.C. and his family’s expectations of using him for political gains and moved to the family’s summer home on Hartsbridge Island. Two years of rehab, two years of counseling and two years of trying to resume a normal life and Michael has made great strides, but he still has complications that thankfully his service dog, Kaylee is able to help him deal with. Even walking into a new place on the Island makes him nervous but the man working the counter puts him at ease and he soon looks forward to his daily visits to see Josh Goldberg.
I loved watching these two build friendship and trust throughout this book and the closer they grew the more Josh began to understand Michael’s problems and how to deal with him. I was really impressed at how easily Michael shared everything with Josh and Josh’s acceptance of Michael’s limitations. Josh had some body issues that Michaels picked up on, but in his eyes Josh was perfect and that led Josh to realize he was more than his outward appearance.
These two had a few moments of doubt most early on before Michael disclosed everything to Josh, but for the most part their relationship was even keel and they communicated well. Josh was the calming force that Michael needed when things got tough and he also knew when to back off and let Kaylee take care of her master. Michael’s acceptance and faith in everything Josh wanted to do gave Josh the courage to try despite his problems. While both men were strong on their own, together they were pretty unstoppable.
Heartwarming, full of emotion, and most of all hopeful, Change of Address was a thoroughly enjoyable.
