With the odds stacked against them, will they be able to overcome, or will their pasts push them apart, forever?
Gib clings to family, while being afraid to trust them. As a former foster child, he clings to security denied to him in early childhood. When he begins having feelings for one of his best friends and fellow medical school student, all his issues are expanded.
Allan has everything a kid from a wealthy New York family could have. When he decides to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a Harvard trained doctor, he didn’t anticipate meeting and falling for the enigmatic Gibson Ridley.
With Allan’s daddy issues, and Gib’s fear of intimacy, the stakes couldn’t have greater risks. Can these two men work through their issues and give love a chance, or will they lose it forever?
NOTE: A Long Road Home is a low-heat, sweet, high drama romance.
Triggers: Death, loss of family members, orphaned children, trauma, fear of loss, recovery, homophobia...

True to his writing, Blake Allwood gives a might strong story and tissues might be necessary. these two young men have known each other many years but sharing their very different backgrounds is their obstacle.
We follow our author learning about Allan who comes from a wealthy family and wants to follow in his Dad’s footsteps but not with Dad who is not a nurturing parent….Gib on the other hand has had a life of trauma. Losing his parents, being adopted and having 2 siblings he considered his siblings and losing that, has made him very wary and untrusting of anyone in his life. Allan has always thought Gib was strait and now has learned maybe not……..
The foursome that they have created thru medical school is the only family these two men count on. Then it’s time to graduate and plans have to be made. Allan and Gib struggle along with the reader to learn more about each other as Allan has fallen for Gib and is al in….Gib has shown he is Not really strait.
I can’t say my heart didn’t hurt through a good portion of his book. Gib was so entangled in his past hurt, I didn’t think he would be able to let go, as what had occurred was very difficult for anyone to face.. Allan was stunning in his love and patience….
I cannot say enough about this story….The author did a wonderful job….Oh did I say tissues a must!!! Oh and Book #2 in Series Family Home up for Pre Order
