Wishing For Yesterday is the emotional third book in The Emerson Family of Shattered Cove contemporary romance series. If you like LGBTQ+ heroes, steamy action, and dashes of humor, then you’ll adore A. M. Kusi’s struggle for belonging. 4 Heart Review by Ashley I feel like I've been waiting for Ricky's story since the first release in the Emerson Family series and let me tell you Wishing for Yesterday was worth the wait. A.M. Kusi's first dip into M/M romance was emotionally intense, tender and sexy and had me hanging on every word. I adored Everett. He was just a good man. Patient. Kind. Giving. And stunned stupid when he came face to face with his first love after decades apart. That meeting was one neither he or Ricky anticipated ever happening after the tragic way they were torn apart. But it was just what they needed to face their past and put those demons to rest. That doesn't mean it was easy. It was actually the complete opposite. It meant facing some harsh truths about themselves. Letting go of pain and shame. Being vulnerable which was the bravest thing in a world that did its best to bring them down. My heart was in the throat as things took a dark and dangerous turn just as they were finding their footing. But it was the push and pull, the longing and anticipation. The need and want. The hope that lived just under the fear. The sacrifice. That made Ricky and Everett's second-chance romance unputdownable. About the Author A.M. Kusi is the pen name of a husband and wife team.
