Starting Over (Castaways #2) by Alexa Land








Blurb

Colt Matthews is trying to find his way in the world.

His friends are getting married, finding rewarding careers, and moving forward. Meanwhile, twenty-one-year-old Colt is still trying to figure out who he is and what he wants out of life. About the only thing he knows for sure is that he’s undeniably drawn to his friend Ren, despite their age difference. But what are the chances Ren feels the same way?

Renaldo Medina is trying to get his life back on track.

Ren had everything for a while: a wildly successful company, a famous boyfriend, a life most people would envy. Then it all fell apart and left him reeling, and he’s been stalled out ever since. But when he strikes up an unlikely friendship with a beautiful younger man, Ren starts to feel something he thought he’d lost forever: hope.

Can two lost men find the courage to start over, despite a 20-year age gap and an uncertain future?

Starting Over is a May-December and friends to lovers romance. It is book two in Alexa Land’s Castaways Series. All books in the series may be read as a stand-alone or enjoyed in order. It contains mature content and is intended for adult readers.


Review 
My Rating - 5 Stars!


Damn! Alexa Land's Starting Over, the second book in her Castaways series, is remarkable.

Omg! I am so excited for Colt to finally get his happily ever after. I loved him long ago, my heart hurt for him, and this is a long time coming. He's grow up a lot over the years, and he's ready to finally find his way in the world.

Working with Ren has been a surprising and welcomed event for Colt. The older man is smitten with Colt, as they've become best friends. I adore the way they relate to one another, despite their age difference. They just get each other, and have so much in common. Playing fake boyfriends for a wedding sets the scene for them to become more than friends.

Initially, Colt feels like his life is standing still, while other's are moving forward. I found myself so sad for him. But, with Ren, he's on his way to regaining his own dreams.

Starting Over's a beautiful tale of finding love again, and finding a future that is promising. Alexa Land perfectly spins this gem about facing one's past, and allowing one to put it in the past. It's riveting, compelling, and a welcome reunion with some of my favorite book boyfriends.
