Hi pornies! I hope you are feeling fine today and are in the mood for a sweet yet dramatic reading. I took this novel and couldn't put it down until I reached the end because of its characters and plot! I'm speaking about North Point, by Thom Collins. Thanks to Gay Book Promotions for sending me a copy!
The synopsis is pretty clear in what we can expect, but it is so sweet I was hooked ince page one! There is a lot of drama, tension and expectation on what will happen next, but this is such a cute story, more when AJ (may the Godd bless me with a kid like him) is involved. I really liked the parenting side of this story and how it affected much of the plot, although it was a bit of idealized, way too perfect to be real.
However, Thom Collins created a surreal, powerful book in this first installment, with human characters and a fast pace that doesn't let you put this novel down until you're down. I had to take a little break now and then because of the many things happening, but it's not confusing at all, just a bit overwhelming for me.
I was expecting a more balanced story, though. The crime side of it and the attacks lost a bit of importance while the romance and family drama were up front all the time, along with the sex scenes and the ending, shorter than I expected, although the second was impressive. It doesn't mean I didn't like it, just that I was expecting something more balanced and with a bit more of heat.
North Point is a great novel about a father trying to balance his professional and family lives, trying to stay focused on what's best for his son, while also struggling to find his own way toward happiness. It's a massively addictive plot with human characters that will make you hold your breath.

Will an idyllic summer holiday lead Arnie to the love of his life, or the end of it? It should be the start of a perfect vacation. After a period of stress, Arnie Walker takes his nine-year-old son, AJ, home for the holidays. Arnie grew up in Nyemouth, a picturesque fishing town on the North East coast of England, and he wants AJ to experience the kind of carefree, endless summer he enjoyed as a boy. It’s a short-lived dream. While taking an evening walk along the North Point cliff, Arnie and AJ witness a murder attempt. For the volunteer crew of Nyemouth Lifeboat Station, it’s a rescue mission like none before. Helmsman Dominic Melton is part of the team who rescue the victim from the deadly North Sea. When Arnie and Dominic come together in the aftermath of the attack, the attraction is instant. Arnie isn’t looking for a relationship. He’s committed to his son’s wellbeing and has no time for a distraction like Dominic, even though the handsome ex-naval officer is hard to dismiss. Is it possible for Arnie to fulfill his promises to AJ while falling for Dominic? Despite the distraction, a fledgling killer is at large. As feelings between Arnie and Dominic develop, so does the danger they are in. North Point may be a beautiful place to fall in love, but it could also be the most dangerous.
