Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

For James Campbell, winning the 1976 International Surf Competition is the ticket to his future. It's his chance to finally reclaim his life, move on from the war, and make a living doing the only thing that keeps him from walking away from it all. But his best laid plans are upended completely when two-time Billabong Pipeline Masters Champion Danny Moore steps up next to James on the starting line. Danny is a young, mysterious, unbeatable big wave surfer. He's man that nobody on the surf circuit can stop whispering about. For the first time since being shipped back home from Vietnam, James is captivated. That first fleeting moment turns the tide for both men, setting them on a path that crosses oceans and defies all odds. This epically romantic m/m historical romance is a slow burn that is full of drama, thrilling surfing, deep emotional connections between the characters, and guarantees the reader a hugely satisfying Happily Ever After!

    “Don’t you dare not come back to me”

    You can all stop looking because this is peak romance right here. It took me so long to get a grip and write a review for this, but LORD, DO I LOVE THEM. This is one of those books where two lonely broken people find their soul mate, and holy shit did it have me giggling, screaming, and sobbing.

    The sea aint mine alone is set in the 70s. James Campbell is a Vietnam veteran suffering from PTSD and reignites his love of surfing to cope. Sydney Daniel Moore was outted at a young age and is the biggest name in competitive surfing. What starts out as a combative relationship turns into one of the most subtly beautiful love stories I've read in a really long time. Everything seems to be working against them, and they still make it their mission to find a way.

    Also, special shout out to Rob. The only man in this story worth a damn outside the MMCs bc that man had me a BASKETCASE.

    If you don't mind slower detail oriented stories that make your heart bleed from both pining and complete sweetness, then this is the one. I will think about this for a long ass time. I have under 10 true 5 stars this year, and this is one of them. FUCKING STUNNING FR
