What could be more complicated than being in the closet and sleeping with your sexy, older, Uncle-in-law? Falling in love with him. That’s what.AidanI’m a virgin. Okay, not a virgin, but I’ve never slept with a man. Because I’m not gay. Well, that’s not exactly true either, but it doesn’t matter. I’ve made my choice to live this way and I’m not about to change. A week of sun, sea and good food … of sun, sea and good food sounded like a nice distraction from the dreariness of my life, even if it was for my sister’s wedding. And it would have been fine if the groom’s sexy-as-hell Uncle hadn’t shown up and turned my world upside down. Now I’m facing the biggest decision ever: do I keep hiding or give in to temptation…
Robert
Ever see something and think to yourself, ‘that needs to be mine’? Well that’s what happened the minute I laid eyes on the young, gorgeous Irishman at my nephew’s wedding. The only problem is he’s in the closet. Oh, and about to be related to me.
Maybe I should just leave Aidan alone, but what if he’d let me help him discover what he’s been missing? Surely, there’s no harm in that. All I have to do is not get attached to him. That’d be easy, right?
Heart from Home is book #2 in the Individualists series. This series is Age Gap MM, and each book can be read as a standalone.

The story of two troubled people looking for their way in life and finding each other by a bit of an accident with a helping of family meddling.
There is an age gap, family trouble, mild angst about coming out / rejection, but not overly dramatic in all honesty. It’s a very pleasant read set mostly in Italy. Loved the descriptions of locations and really loved the secondary characters as well. Totally recommend 🙂
A very sweet and believable love story, I enjoyed every minute of reading it!
This book was so good! I normally don’t read a lot of age gape books, but this one was amazing. I love CS Joyce’s books, and this one with Aiden and Robbert was amazing! Their connection when they first meet was strong and I loved their relationship even though it took a bit to come to terms with! An amazing story!
Being true to oneself, no matter the cost!
Robert, worldly but still trying to achieve his dreams. Aidan, young, strong, very attractive, but living a life base on a lie, sacrificing his real self because of fear. Two men, unknowingly looking for the same thing, though in totally different ways, happiness, fulfillment and acceptance!
Keeping a big secret about yourself, the longer you keep it, the heavier it becomes! It can eventually destroy the person, his self-worth and his confidence to shreds. Not being able to be your real self can become a heavy weight, it can suck the life out of you.
Trying to make your dream come true, working hard towards it but still unable to achieve it, it can discouraged, frustrate and make you feel unfulfilled.
Can these two men finally find what they are both looking for? A brilliant book to add to The Individualists Series, Congratulations Ms. C.S. Joyce, brilliant, vulnerable and realistic characters and situations!
Robert and Aidan
At a wedding in Italy, we meet the 40-year-old, openly gay uncle of the groom, and a much younger deep in the closet hiker slash brother of the bride. These ingredients are enough to put together a delicious and warming story.
Ahhh Robert, naughty, playful horny Robert.
Aidan, a virgin and deep in the closet, can’t handle Robert and his openness.
The attraction is immediate only Aidan is terrified that someone will know he’s not as straight as he wants to show. They spend time together and have some intense moments.
“Fine then. But…just one last bit of fun before I behave”
When Aidan visit Robert at his home in Rome they have the best time ever, they are intense, open sexy and endearing. Both falling hard and knowing there is no future because Aidan will go back to Ireland and back in his closet.
Oh boy, they pulled at my heartstrings. I loved Robert and his mellow personality so much!
Aidan ugh, in the beginning, I had some trouble with him, he gave Robert and me kind of a whiplash. The struggle he had was hurtful. Later on, when he opened up, I opened up for him.
Watching Robert, as the experienced one, falling apart under Aidan, gosh that did something to me! Likewise, Aidan who opened up bit by bit and showed his real passion.
Wonderfully written story, clear, steady paced and, with satisfying progress and developing.
I love this story. Robert and Aidan were not only hot to watch, but I also found them endearing, funny and kind of perfect together.
Steamy and heartwarming, a perfect combination for a wonderful story!
