Always You: The Fate of Love Book 1 Kindle Edition
Losing Aaron all those years ago nearly broke me. But he’d needed to follow his dreams, even if it meant we couldn’t be together forever like we’d planned. I couldn’t be the one to hold him back, no matter how much it hurt. So I’d set him free, and I’d tried to live my life to the fullest. Only there’d always been a huge piece of me missing.
Aaron~
It seemed that all of my relationships were set to fail from the beginning. I didn’t know what was wrong with me, but I just couldn’t put the effort in to make it work. Okay, so maybe I did know what was wrong with me… I’d been in love with Finn all my life, and even though I hadn’t seen him for twelve years, my heart still remembered him.
When Finn and Aaron are brought together by a chance meeting, they can’t help but be drawn to one another again. Even after they realize that they’ve both grown, becoming different people in their time spent apart, seeing each other brings out old feelings. They think about picking up where they left off, but maybe their love was only meant to be a sweet memory of the past. Or, just maybe, fate has brought them back together to rekindle their lost love.
***Always You is Book One of The Fate of Love series. The series will follow Finn and Aaron’s journey, so it’s recommended to read them in order. It’s a contemporary romance between two men with explicit language and graphic sex intended for Adults Only.***

About the author

Michele is married to an awesome guy that puts up with her and all the burnt dinners she makes—hey, sometimes characters are a bit distracting, and who doesn’t plot when they’re supposed to be cooking? They live together in Baltimore, Maryland with two little monsters, a three-legged princess, a four-legged goofball, and a cutie with giant ears (aka their two kids, their two cats, and their dog). She hopes to rescue another cat soon, and if her hubby wouldn’t kill her, she’d get more than one… and maybe a few more dogs as well.
She loves creating worlds filled with lots of love, chosen family, and of course, magic, but she also likes making the characters fight for that happy ending. She hopes to one day write all the stories in her head—even if there are too many to count!

- Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2018Ok... so this is just a love story, but the characters and the writing of this author are so good, you want to just keep reading even though there's no real action, adventure and edge of the seat excitement going on. But this author is so good, she makes you want tor read her books and not put them down, whether it's action, sci-fi or just romance. This was a really good book. The only problem is book 2 isn't out yet, and since I only read paperbacks, I guess I'm going to have to wait to read the next book in the series... Shoot... I've been waiting 6 months for the next Taoree series book, and that really pisses me off as that series was one of the best gay sci-fi series I've read, and I want to read the next in the series to continue the adventure!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2018I love Aaron and Finn's story. The author wrote these characters with depth and substance. I enjoyed the flashbacks of their lives. I also enjoyed knowing they didn't get through their first separation unscathed. The way they reconnected and how their relationship progressed was believable and emotional. Another thing I really enjoyed was being allowed to experience the story as opposed to having the story told to me by the author. Notaro writes very complex characters with original and interesting storylines. Although this is a HFN and though there are unresolved issues between Aaron and Finn, I like the way it ended and I don't feel that I was left hanging. I look forward the the release of the next book in this series, Choosing You.
The reason I gave this four stars instead of five is the lack of creativity when it comes to choosing adverbs. Allow me to explain. Whenever one of these characters was emotional, they "swallowed thickly." What really annoyed me was during one scene, Aaron was remembering something that happened when he was five-years old and during the flashback five-year old Aaron said "I swallowed thickly." He was five. There are several other ways to swallow besides "thickly". Once can swallow hard, noticeably, intentionally, slowly, the list goes on. I encourage Notaro to really pay attention to her adverb usage and make sure she is not using one adverb ad nauseum. I intend to purchase Choosing You when it is released but if I run into the same issue in the next installment in this series, I'm not sure I'll be able to finish it. I'm not saying that based on principle or using it as a threat, I'm saying, for me, seeing the same words or phrases repeatedly in a book aggravates me and I can't lose myself in a story like I love to do. I will, however, be reading her other books because she's a great storyteller.
Other than that, I really enjoyed the book. 4/5 stars

This story definitely shows everlasting love from two childhood friends.
I liked the story but I didn't love it, which usually is the norm with this author. The plot run smooth most of the time but there were too many flashbacks, some scenes could have been shortened. On another note, some scenes were very touching, especially those that showed how much loved Finn and Aaron had for each other and their lost years.
Finn and Aaron were likeable but some situations were unbelievable (to me) and some of their actions were too much of everything's-cool-nothing-happened, I guess I couldn't connect with the them plus second-chance trope about old friends is not my cup of tea unless there's more drama.
All in all, I liked the story and it was nice to see them together once the misunderstandings were over.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2017As teenagers they fell in love and the had to separate for college. After 12 years they met again only to realize they still loved each other even after ups and downs, tribulations and horrors they each faced in their lives. Separated again but still very much in love...who knows what comes next. I can’t wait for the followup book
- Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2017This was such a sweet second chance romance. It had me in tears before the end of the prologue because even as they were breaking up you could see how much they loved each other. So much of the time in second chance books the characters pick back up where they left off like they are the same people they were years ago but not in this book. While they fall back into a relationship quickly the author acknowledges the fact they they have grown and changed over the years. This book is about their story as they learn who the person they love is now. I received an advanced copy of this book and I wasn't sure how I would feel about it because second chance novels aren't my favorite but this one was so worth the read!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2017This booked drew me in from the first line. Fell in love with Aaron and Finn and did not want to let them go. Will be rereading this again and again!

Iinteresting start to this second chance romance. Childhood friends/lovers spend 12 years apart to reunite and rekindle their love. They are not the same boys they once were the years and separation have changed them but one thing that has always remained the same is the love they have for one another. This book is reintroducing that love, we know its there, but we also know there are still secrets these two are keeping from one another. Will their love survive once they are out? I guess we have to wait for the next books to find out ;)
It was a good book. My one complaint was the reunion it was a bit lackluster. These two spent 12 years apart, I just expected more feelings behind it. Maybe it was the setting but I don't know I just wanted more. The rest was fine. Nothing to crazy happened but I'm sure there will be more in the next book.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2017The book was well written, super easy going, hardly any drama. Me personally, I like a little angst. The author tries to drum up some random angst towards the end but eh it wasn't very exciting. But all in all not bad.

3.0 out of 5 stars Minor spoiler.
I'm finding this to be a difficult one to review. So many five stars. Maybe I was just in the wrong frame of mind when I read it, but I don't think so. Where to start. In parts I found it too soppy, but not emotional enough, if you understand what I mean. It had me wondering just how old these MC's were supposed to be. I couldn't connect with them and didn't feel invested in them. Aaron, mmm. Takes Finn to a works do where all his colleagues know he has been offered a job elsewhere, so no surprise when its mentioned to the love of his life who knows nothing about it. It's a works do. Duh. He also has some big secret, again not mentioned, but one that will hurt Finn ( have a feeling I know what this one is, there is a clue). That was my main irritation with him, but there were others.
I think I am a minority of one here. But that's ok. I won't be buying book 2 in the series. Sorry.
