Publisher's Summary:

Follow-up story to'Til Death Do Us Part

Henry and Sam Miller-Greene are enjoying life in the summer after Henry's rescue from a small South Pacific island, where Henry and three others were marooned for five years.

Henry and Sam thought adopting Aiden - the child with whom Henry had been stranded - would be smooth sailing. Matters are complicated by the public nature of their rescue that has turned the survivors into overnight celebrities. Anti-gay-fueled animus rears its ugly head in the blogosphere, causing concerns over the impact libelous rumors might have on Aiden.

With their nightmare separation behind them, Henry and Sam are anxious to renew both the intensity of their former intimacies - now hampered by having a curious and still apprehensive child sharing their home - and their commitment to one another. Will they be able to move their love forward now that they are together again?

Members Reviews:

Not a standalone!

I would have preferred this to have been included as part ofTil Death Do Us Partrather than as a separate novella.

It was okay, and the reader gets some more time with Sam and Henry, but...this was really just a kind of sweet epilogue to'Til Death Do Us Part.

David Gilmore narrates the audio much the same in this installment with character voices that are easily discernible, good timing, and clear enunciation.

Note: this should not be read as a standalone. It should definitely by read after book 1.

Not sure why this was separate.

This is the same narrator as book 1not my favorite but Im super picky.

This was a nice addition to the story but it should have been just added to the first book. Im not sure if it was an afterthought or it was planned to be separate. We see more of Henry and Sam with Aiden and get resolution on one of the questions I had from book 1 but not every question I was left with.

If you read/listen to book 1, youll want to read/listen to this one.

From This Day Forward (Vows Book 2)

This book continues where the first one left off with Henry and Sam still trying to adjust to each other, and both men making a life for Buddy/Aiden. This story cannot be read as a standalone. For me, I think this novella had too much recreating and retelling what happened in the first book and not enough about their lives now. I felt like if all the information retelling the story from the first book was taken out, what was left could have just been an epilogue at the end of the first book.

The narrator is David Gilmore and he did a fantastic job bringing this story to life! He had an easy to listen to voice, kept a good pace, expressed appropriate emotions. There were no weird pauses in his narration, which is important when listening to an audiobook (in my opinion). The narrator gave characters individual voices which made it easy to listen to, he wasn't just reading a story.

Though this wasn't what I had hoped in the follow up novella about Sam and Henry, we still got to see a little more of their lives and how Aiden is doing and that was nice. But, I still wished for more from this story.

Overall: 4.5

A nice extended epilogue for Sam, Henry & Aiden!

From This Day Forward is a nice follow up to 'Til Death Do Us Part, and it was nice to get more closure for Sam and Henry--and Aiden as well.
