DEAR JOHN is a non traditional love story of two men who have always loved each other but separate to find themselves to be able to in the end be together.
From the blurb:
When I wrote the Dear John letter, I never imagined six years would pass before I laid eyes on my husband again. It takes my grandfather’s death to bring me back to Aqua Vista. And to John McCoy, the only man I’ve ever loved. We parted ways on mutual terms to chase our dreams. John’s plan was to open his bar, and mine was to make it in Hollywood. I’m still waiting for my big break, but John’s business is a success, and I couldn’t be happier for him. Seeing him brings it all back—our love, attraction, and fondness for each other—and we can’t stay away, even if we try.
John
As soon as Micah walks into my bar, the memories come flooding back, and I have the urge to hold him close if only to make sure I’m not dreaming. I’ll be here for him during this difficult time because that’s what we do, what we’ve always done for each other. Soon enough, we fall back into a routine that feels as natural as breathing. Reminiscing, providing support, making love. I’ve ached for his mouth and body for so long. There’s no way I can refuse either of us.
When Micah rediscovers his favorite childhood interests, I try to tamp down my hopes. He’ll return to LA once his grandfather’s property is sold, and we’ll move on with our separate lives. Loving each other has never been our issue, but we finally do the responsible thing regarding our divorce. Guess that saying is true—when you love something, set it free. The only problem? This time, it’s for good, and I’m still not sure I can let him go.
Molly Otto's review:
This is not your traditional love story. You start with two men knowing they are the others second half but let each other go to realize their dreams. When Micah returns to Aqua Vista, he is ready for closure, yet he gets to experience so much more. He learns his past views aren't exactly what they seemed, and he has a chance at a truly fulfilling life in this small town. John has always loved Micah and only Micah, and when he returns, he allows himself to be the best friend to the man he's always loved. They show a maturity in their relationship that not many could be able to achieve, even with past regrets hanging over their heads, they have a friendship to envy. A truly moving and powerful story of a love story where even when you take time away, in the end, you will land where you belong.
