Master Captain Theodore Gourdin has always loved the ocean. But his devotion to maritime life left little possibility for a long-term relationship. After two failed marriages, Theo gave up on finding the person who completed him and decided the sea was his soul mate. When offered the opportunity to captain the newly launched megayacht Eternity, Theo jumped at the chance. With Eternity’s maiden voyage looming, Theo focused all his energies on hiring his crew and readying his ship. The last thing he expected was to finally lose his heart in the process.
After twelve years at sea, First Officer Heath Rawlins was restless and in need of a change. A gay seaman’s life could be a lonely one, but to Heath the positives far outweighed the negatives. With excellent recommendations and an impressive résumé, he was quickly offered a position on the private megayacht Eternity. Heath’s heart skipped several beats when he finally met the ship’s captain. He was handsome and charming. And… familiar? Had they met somewhere before? Highly unlikely. But as smitten as Heath was with the gorgeous captain, everything inside him screamed, Abandon ship! Rough seas ahead!

Scotty Cade has given us a gift of love and hope and happenstance and eternity in this seemingly laconic but ultimately brilliantly conceived tale.He grabs our attention in an author's note which caused me to get into the book with some hesitation, but in the end I could not agree with him more. This may be something that is not for everyone, but then again, not every one has as open a heart as Heath and Theo.
How they develop their friendship, and ultimate love, may seem a little contrived along the way, but once they realize that their bond cannot be broken, we are transported into a short, but extraordinary, journey that has an exquisite, heart pumping Epilogue.
(My only complaint is that this book really demands a cover that features both of them. In fact, I think it's Heath on the cover, but it would have been nice to be sure).
Bravo!

This is another well written book by Scotty Cade. The story grabbed my attention with the very beginning. The prologue was a little heartbreaking. Set in a different time (1942), the story is about two men, one who, named Edward, unfortunately, has just lost the love of his life, Steven. But at the prologue’s end, sadly, Edward also passes away. Then the story flashes forward to the present time and gives us Heath and Theo. Heath to me seems to me to be a bit of a restless spirit or at least unhappy in his current job. He makes the decision to leave his current position and is quickly offered another one on a luxury yacht. It’s here that he meets Theo.
Theo is the captain of the luxury yacht where Heath is hired to work on and from the beginning, the attraction is strong and the sparks fly between the two men. Not only that, there seems to be a bit of a sense of déjà vu between them. But there’s another catch both men are supposedly straight but they keep having dreams about two men named Edward and Steven. This is where the story gets even more interesting. I haven’t read many stories featuring reincarnation but this is a trope that is seldom used that should be explored more. I definitely felt that the author did an amazing job of taking something that one would think would make the storyline boring but he managed to make it absolutely fantastic.
I absolutely loved the premise of this story. Everything about this book is so vivid and bright. I can’t describe it any other way. The author’s writing style is amazing. I was completely immersed in this story. His descriptions of the yacht, the crew’s lives, the weather, everything. As I’ve stated in past reviews of this author’s work, I thought that his descriptions were wordy but have since learned that his descriptions serve an important purpose. It draws you completely into the story. Thinking back on it now, I can remember feeling like I experience the same things that the characters are experiencing. You can definitely tell that the author has a vast knowledge of being on a boat or a ship. I’ve never in my life been near a boat but by the end of that book, I felt like I had taken a pleasure cruise. I definitely appreciate his descriptions as they give you the reader, the full experience of the story being told. Not only that but I felt that I got a special treat with the twist. Wow, I did not see that one coming. I loved it all.
This book was beautifully written, which is par for the course for this author. I really appreciate his work. This author’s characters are men of a particular age so you know that you’re going to get a more mature romance. This is a signature Scotty Cade book well written characters, wonderful plots and storylines and dialogues. You can also expect the editing to be spot on perfect. Never in any of Cade’s book have I ever found one misspelled word, poor sentence or paragraph structure or plot holes. This author definitely believes in doing research before he writes the first word of any of his books. The end result is a beautifully written, polished book.
I definitely must give a nod to the super talented Reese Dante, the cover artist. Scotty has used this artist on virtually every one of his books and I must say that the beautiful cover matches the beautiful words within.
This is a story that will linger with you long after you’ve finished reading it.
(Originally reviewed and rated as Amazing for The KimiChan Expeience as Kiwi.)
(Originally reviewed for Love Bytes Reviews. Rated 4.5 out of 5.0 Love Bytes)
I’m not sure how to review this book without doing a little bit of a spoiler, which I’ll mention below. It is from the Prologue though, so isn’t really a story killer spoiler. Also the author directly refers to it in his Preface, so I think I’m safe and won’t get fists waiving at me from the sidelines.
We meet two men in the Prologue, or more accurately we meet one man who has just lost the love of his life who was named Steven. The date is April 27, 1942. Before the Prologue is done, the other man, Edward, is also dead.
Flash forward to today.
G. Heath Rawlins is a First Officer on a large merchant vessel, but has been looking at jumping ship, literally, and has turned in his thirty-day notice. The next day they are arriving in Savannah, Georgia and his job will be done. He has no idea what he going to do, and has sent out a few resumes. He decides to send one more, this time to the Captain of the brand-new luxury mega-yacht Eternity.
Theo Gourdin is the Captain of the Eternity and when Heath’s resume pops up just as he is closing his computer, he is intrigued and replies.
One thing leads to another, and soon Heath is hired as the First Officer of the Eternity. But something is strange. Both he and Theo are having these strange déjà vu moments. And strange dreams. And they are attracted to each other…but both know that the other is straight. Why do they keep dreaming about these guys named Steven and Eddie?
I really enjoyed the story. As I said above, minor spoiler, you know from the very first page that it is about reincarnation, which I loved. I really enjoyed the way Mr. Cade added some background details about the ship and the crew. I thought those details helped the story immensely, and for this reviewer, it gave me a feeling of being there. I also, of course, had to Google the yacht builder and look at some of their yachts. If you like a story about ship-board life with what I didn’t think were too many ship details, and throw in some reincarnation and some miscommunication, you’ll really like this story like I did. My husband watches that show “Below Decks” constantly. I was picturing those yachts while reading this and I think that helped me feel like I was in the story maybe? But Mr. Cade did such a good job it might just have been his descriptors. I highly recommend this one.
Final note. Great cover by Reese Dante. It would definitely make me pick the book up.
The story was a bit predictable and a little bit too new-age-ish. There was not much of a plot either. Sorry S.C., but do some more like Acting Out. That was a 5 star book.
Who hasn't been in a situation and had that feeling of déjà Vue and this book has that in spades. It is an amazing storey that really touches your heart. I can't imagine anyone not loving it. Enjoy.
True love, is all I can say. I didn't see this twist in the story when I brought this book, But it was a good twist. I loved this story, I loved the characters of Theo, and Health. The story was well written with a great storyline, and it was well written,
Scotty Cade never lets me down. His novels are always a great read, and this sweet tale was no exception. The tale was simple but expressed so very well, and the little footnote at the end... so good to know the lovers had so much time together.
Thanks Scotty. Keep up the good work.
