review 1: A delightful tale of love found. Leo Gorgan was mugged, and died for a moment on the operating table. After he got out of hospital he realized that not one of his so-called friends had come to visit him. So he buys an RV and takes off across the country for a year. He finds his destiny in Destiny, Idahoe.Tank Borsoiv takes notice when Leo walks into his step-father's hardware store. The two men feel an instant connection, and over the course of several weeks they fall in love. Now Tank has to find a way to keep top-floor-condmimmum-milllioniar New Yorker in his small town.This is wonderful love story about not judging people at first thought, but getting to know them and the reasons behind what they do. And yes, people can change, or at least their better parts can ... morebe drawn out when they have a reason to let them. A reason like caring - even loving - someone else.Five stars all the way.
review 2: 3.5 starsLeo was a sucessful investment planner in New York City. He was mugged in front of his building that he decided to spend a year traveling coast to coast in his newly acquried motor home. A plumbing issue made him stop at Destiny, Iowa, where he met Tank -- an employee in the hardware store that Leo visited to find help. Tank is a bear with good heart. He loved his town people, and they loved him. A passionate night that evening left them wanting more. However, given that Leo had life in New York city and Tank wouldn't leave his town, building a relationship is like building a sandcastle...A beautiful story of giving, loving, and living your destiny. The author provides clues that at the end tie up the whole story. My problem is the stereotypical portrayal of people in New York and Iowa. As if everyone in NYC is heartless while everyone in Destiny is Mr. Rogers reincarnation.It's still a nice reading. less
