Synopsis

Neil isn’t a ghost, but he feels like one. Reincarnated with all his memories from his prior life, he spent twenty years trapped in a child’s body, wanting nothing more than to grow up and reclaim the love of his life.

As an adult, Neil finds there’s more than lost time separating them. Joshua has built a beautiful life since Neil’s death, and how exactly is Neil supposed to introduce himself? As Joshua’s long-dead lover in a new body? Heartbroken and hopeless, Neil takes refuge in his work, developing microscopic robots called nanites that can produce medical miracles.

When Joshua meets a young scientist working on a medical project, his soul senses something his rational mind can’t believe. Has Neil truly come back to him after twenty years? And if the impossible is real, can they be together at long last?

Any Given Lifetime is a stand-alone, slow burn, second chance gay romance by Leta Blake featuring reincarnation and true love. This story includes some angst, some steam, an age gap, and, of course, a happy ending.

This book just blew me away!

Any Given Lifetime is only the second book by Leta Blake that I’ve read. She wowed me with Slow Heat, an Omegaverse MPreg story, and now she’s done it again with a totally different type of story. I seriously need to read more of her books asap!

I knew from the blurb for Any Given Lifetime (please read it!) that it would probably gut me (in a good way) and I was right. It’s told in 3 parts. Part One starts in the present, after Neil has died, but then goes back and forth between the characters past and present. The next two parts are all told in what are future dates for the reader but are in the current time period for the characters. It’s not confusing, the time shifts are clearly labeled in the book, and necessary to telling the story.

I’m really having a difficult time writing this review – as often happens when I really love a story and still have a hangover from reading it – but I needed to get my thoughts down while it’s still fresh in my mind. The blurb says that it’s a slow burn romance, and it is but it’s also incredibly hot once things get physical.

This is one of those books where I could feel the emotions pouring off of the pages as I read it. The love that Neil had for Joshua was so palpable and so real to me as I read.

I don’t always buy books that I’ve gotten as an ARC (advanced review copy) but I had to buy this one; it’s just that good.
