Restored is a beautiful story about love, loss, forgiveness and re-connecting. Kit and Henry are both outstanding characters that have given up so much. They spend 18 years apart but never lose the love they have for each other.

Henry has given up not only his lover, Christopher, but the part of himself that is truly who he is at his core when his wife becomes ill and they move out of the city to the country. Once his wife passes Henry puts everything he has into raising his children. He always tries to do what is best for those he loves and he thought he left his lover set up comfortably when he left. Little does he know that Christopher was not left with what he gave him and that he had to face some of the hardest times in his life.

Kit’s heart was broken when Henry left him with nothing. He is kicked out of his home and left without the money his contract with Henry was supposed to pay him. He has since made a life for himself and is comfortable owning his own club and has not had to sell his body in a very long time. To have Henry back in his life suddenly is a surprise and he is angry when Henry first shows up. He demands that Henry apologize by earning his forgiveness as he once had to do, by giving Kit his body to do as he pleases. He is very surprised when Henry agrees.

Once amends are made these two discover that their feelings never went away and that they are able to truly be truthful with each other in the bedroom and out. They really are such a beautiful couple and it was truly a gift to see them talk things out and be mature without losing their heads over past hurts.

I loved how Henry cared for his family and was there for all of them. Kit fit so perfectly into his life. I loved Kit’s strength and ability to put his life back together after so much hurt. This was a story that just had so much love and strength to it.
