Thomas Elkin Series Collection

Book One

Generation versus generation, traditional versus contemporary, these men are about to learn a lesson in architecture and love. Can they prove that the old and new can be the perfect design?

A successful New York architect, Thomas Elkin almost has it all. Coming out as gay and ending his marriage before his fortieth birthday, he needed to start living his life. Now, four years later, with his relationship with his son back on track, and after a few short-lived romances, this esteemed traditional draftsman thinks he knows everything about architecture, about life.

Cooper Jones, twenty-two years old, is about to take the architect world by storm. Talented, professional, driven and completely infuriating, Cooper is the definition of Generation Y. Starting an internship working with Thomas, Cooper is about to knock Tom’s world off its axis.

Tom can teach Cooper about the architecture industry, but Cooper is about to teach Tom what it means to live.

Book Two

When some lines blur, others become crystal clear. Absolutely smitten, Thomas Elkin and Cooper Jones have decided they’re prepared to give a relationship a try. What they’re not prepared for is the reaction from their families, who try to force them apart. Both men are about to learn that there are lines that define us.

Sometimes the lines blur, sometimes the lines become crystal clear.

Book Three

Designing homes is easy. Finding home is something else entirely.

Thomas Elkin and Cooper Jones finally have the support of their families, and their love grows stronger every day. Now living together, they think nothing can stand in their way. But there are outside influences trying to pull them apart. Cooper encounters a man, closer to his age and with connections high up the property development chain, who wants Cooper as his own. Tom encounters discrimination and a hidden agenda from a fellow senior partner who’s trying to take him down. No matter what the world throws at them, Tom and Cooper are the real deal.

Age differences aside, Tom has finally found his sense of place. His one true center, his home.

    A beautiful love story. Do yourself a favour and read the series. I didn't want it to end.

    I just love N R Walker's books. I almost loved this series as much as I loved the Red Dirt series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Trilogy
    Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2022
    Introduction:
    The Thomas Elkin Series by N.R. Walker is about forty-four-year-old seasoned architect, Thomas Elkin and twenty-two-year-old up-and-coming architect, Cooper Jones’ discovery of love, merging the old and new into its ultimate design. Tom and Cooper learn about life and their careers by looking at the world from different perspectives, from the views of different generations, through the eyes of a 22-year age gap.

    Elements of Retrofit:
    Elements of Retrofit is a fitting title for the beginning of Tom and Coopers journey. Boundaries are set and perceived obstacles are removed to clear a path enabling Tom and Cooper to explore their intense connection.

    Tom ended his marriage four year ago, just before his fortieth birthday. Coming out and accepting his true self, Tom is ready to live his life. He loves his son, Ryan, is content and happy with his job, and maintains an amicable relationship with his ex-wife. Tom projects a quiet confidence that is extremely attractive.

    Cooper is your typical Gen Y with an in-your-face attitude that isn’t abrasive, but more witty and charming. The things that come out of his mouth are awesome and simultaneously humorous. His take-charge-of-my-destiny attitude with Tom, Ryan, Jennifer (the ex), and Lionel (the doorman) had me rolling with laughter and awe at the same time.

    The fact that Cooper is also Ryan’s friend could have been uncomfortable, but it wasn’t. Other than an unfortunate communication gap near the end of Elements of Retrofit, the drama settles with relative ease and understanding about the actions taken, paving the way for a future.

    Clarity of Lines:
    To continue, Clarity of Lines is also fitting title for Tom and Cooper’s journey, as they have decided there is merit in pursuing a relationship. However, some of the lines are murky and together they must navigate their familial reactions to make the lines clear.

    One aspect of Clarity of Lines I thoroughly enjoyed is the easy banter between Tom and Cooper making lite of their age difference. “You’re such a little ****” versus “Old-Man” with the “It’s a Gen Y thing.” No “It’s a Cooper Jones thing.”

    There is a bit of tragedy that hits near the end and Cooper supports his man during his time of need. Be damned if there are residual family tensions. Tragedy is poor timing for revelations, but yields further acceptance from the doubters.

    Clarity of Lines is a bit more angsty with introduction of external influences than Elements of Retrofit was. Ryan’s influence and support are impressive and paramount to bringing others around. In the end, love and rational thinking closes most of the gaps bringing a clarity to lines that were once murky.

    Sense of Place:
    Yep, Sense of Place perfectly titles this step in Tom and Cooper’s journey. Here Tom and Cooper find a sense of home, have the support of their family and friends, but must face trumped up accusations based in homophobia.

    In light of events, we learn more about Tom and Cooper. Tom reveals his jealous side, and it is not a pretty picture. Meanwhile, Cooper demonstrates his ability to become angry and displays his surprisingly hot temper. However, there is only admiration for both men. Tom still seems to struggle with the age difference but is crystal clear with his love for Cooper. Cooper is navigating his youth displaying a high degree of confidence, which complements his unique charisma.

    The passion between Tom and Cooper continues to grow as we witness their intimate moments, ranging from slow and sensual, to raw need for each other. They connect on numerous levels beside their interaction between the sheets. Their unique styles of architectural design combine with their ability to create a brand of their own, just one of many ways they strengthen their connection.

    Conclusion:
    Tom and Cooper have been through a lot over the past several months. They’ve set boundaries, faced family disapproval and suffered tragedy. Through it all, they have grown as a couple and in the face of their final blow, are now blazing their own path into the future. The marriage proposal Tom makes is just… so them… it was perfect.

    The Thomas Elkin Series shows us once again, that age is only a number, one where the heart rules between consenting adults. It continues to prove that no matter what age you accept your true self, there is love and happiness around the corner.

    As you can see, each story builds on the previous one. Given that, I highly recommend reading/listening to Tom and Copper journey in order. In my opinion, the Thomas Elkin Series is more of a trilogy than a series, with each installment continuing the moment the previous one left off.

    Nick J. Russo’s Narration:
    Nick does a superb job, giving life to Tom and Cooper. The pacing, emotions and characters were all spot on. Listening was like being transported into their world, witnessing the events from the periphery. My impression of Nick’s personality is of one who sees life as the glass half full and this shows through his portrayal of Tom and Cooper. Yet, I sense there is a serious side to Nick as well, because, when the situation calls for it, he effortlessly brings it forward.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Love this couple
    Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2021
    I had this collection on my Kindle for about a month, and for some reason I read other books first. I'm so glad I finally got around to reading it. The two men were perfect partners. One of the things that stood out to me was the maturity of Connor. This helped to put the two men on equal footing. Connor more than made up with his talent and empathy for his lack of experience . They are a good pattern for any couple, no matter the gender.
