Born to a prestigious political family, Avery Adams plays as hard as he works. The gorgeous, charismatic attorney is used to getting what he wants, even the frequent one-night stands that earn him his well-deserved playboy reputation. When some of the most prominent men in politics suggest he run for Senate, Avery decides the time has come to follow in his grandfather's footsteps. With a strategy in place and the campaign wheels rolling, Avery is ready to jump on the legislative fast track, full steam ahead. But no amount of planning prepares him for the handsome, uptight restaurateur who might derail his political future.

Easy isn't even in the top thousand words to describe Kane Dalton's life after his father, a devout Southern Baptist minister, kicks him out of the family home for questioning his sexual orientation. Despite all the rotten tomatoes life throws his way, Kane makes something of himself. Between owning a thriving upscale Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Minneapolis and managing his long-term boyfriend, his plate is full. He struggles to get past the teachings of his childhood to fully accept his sexuality and rid himself of the doubts brought on by his religious upbringing. The last thing he needs is the yummy, sophisticated, blond-haired distraction sitting at table 34.

Always

Wow! I have no words for this work of art. Brilliant. Just brilliant.
Thank you Ms. Alexander ❤️

Amazing story

I’ve read the book but listened to the audio this time. Ugly cry warning. Kindle Alexander writes an amazing story of love over time between Avery Adams and Kane Dalton

Always

I absolutely loved this story. I read it years ago and was so excited for the audible version. I have to say I was a bit disappointed by the narrator. He was much too monotone for the story and it just didn't flow as it should have. The book, the story itself is amazing, so much love and so much heartbreak.

I have no words

I just finished listening, and there are still tears in my eyes. From what emotions? All of them. story and characters are so well written. I hated to see this book end, but I loved every minute of it.

An iridescent overwhelming love.. breathtaking

Absolutely loved loved this book! Seriously despaired of Kindle EVER putting a book out on Audible! Well, it was worth EVERY Bit of the Wait! I cried, I couldn't quit listening - and I have read this book at least three times! Kindle has several books that are unforgettable, this is one of them. I am often affected by a strong, cohesive story with characters that resonate - but this is so much more. Kindle is an author that gets to the soul of the character and works out from there - and I feel like i could know and love these characters... I am a heterosexual Christian Grandma who absolutely loves Love - and I would love to have a man like either one of these men! Avery and Kane are mesmerized by each other from the beginning - they each are in love at first sight - Avery gives up a shot on a here-to-fore mission to the Senate - Kane is deeply religious despite complete rejection by his UnChristian Christian Family, dedicated to running his restaurant with his self-made tiny family. Kane wants forever, committed love. You've heard this story before, and yet this is never boring - it is breathtaking. They fill your heart with the aura of their love. They take the time to anticipate and examine the status of their partners - always. Kindle, first thank you for creating or channeling these beautiful people - thank you for translating love for all of us. Lee Swift is perfect for this book - and gives dignity and resonance to Avery and Kane. PLEASE!!!! I BEG YOU to Please, Please release more Audible versions of your books, I find they are a wonderful partner to the read version. I look forward to every new release!

The most beautiful book I’ve ever read 💕💕

I read this book years ago and decided to buy the audio when the 2nd book came out. What a mistake. The narration was not that at all. All he did was read the book and barely paused between sentences. This is my most favorite book of all time and I just can’t get over the fact it didn’t get a top notch narrator. So disappointed. But please don’t miss out on reading this. It is a gem that I have never forgotten about. I have started Forever and it is really good too!!

Thanks Kindle, for finally doing an audiobook

I’ve enjoyed Always for several years now. Kindle’s books are always amazing. Avery and Kane are great characters together.
I’m disappointed in the narration though. The voices were fairly distinct, so I can’t fault that, but the narrative parts were kinda monotone. And that’s not good, especially during a sex scene. As much as I loved reading this book, if I ever want to experience it again, I’ll read it myself.
Kindle, if you read these reviews, please continue with audio formats for your books. There are plenty of great narrators out there.

Amazing story, disappointing narrator

I’m not the first to review this, nor the last. But I realized that I’d never reviewed it at all and it’s absolutely one of my favorite reads. So I thought I’d re-read it again and just comment on how this book makes me feel.

The first thing I noticed on this re-read – is how hopeful I am that one day something like this will come to pass – and soon. With Obama, and possibly Hilary making history – with the passage of marriage laws – with the new open eyes we (as a nation) have and continue to open – I sincerely hope that one day sexual orientation won’t be considered a “hindrance” in any way shape or form and that a gay politician can make it to whatever office he or she or they desire.

I loved the OTT mushiness in this. When I’m feeling low, this book is so full of sweet and happy and that ending – OH. Man. Talk about an emotional release. I cry every single time I read it. Ugly cry. Every. Time.

Now, the beginning makes me cry as well – so I’m pretty much a wreck right from the start.

Another thing I liked about this was the movement through time. The new technology. The change in their relationship as they aged, had kids, got a different job… all of those played out in their personal interactions, too.

The ending – well – I consider it a beginning. I like to think that after all the hard work and dedication to their family and careers, Avery and Kane can finally just BE together. Always.

With my highest recommendation 6 of 5 stars.

Audio

Lee Swift does an ok job with this. He isn’t super compelling and I can’t say that I thought he really added to the story but it wasn’t a bad way to listen to this story. He was pretty monotone and flat and for this story, it was a shame.

3 of 5 stars

Overall 4.5 of 5 stars

Tears of joy. That ending was needed!

"Always," had me so emotional. Avery and Kane's story was a love that withstood the test of time. It was about their ups and downs. It was about the happy and sad times, good and bad times. Their story was amazing. Thank goodness for the ending that really was a Happy Every Always. With out that ending I would have been crying my heart out. Instead, It made me smile. The narration was good, I mean really good. I totally recommend their story. You will not be disappointed. ENJOY!

Love this book!

I have read this book multiple times, I love this story. So when it came out on audio, I jumped at the chance to listen to it. The story is amazing, so whether you read or listen to your books, you need to know the story of Kane and Avery. I cry every time I read this, and the audiobook version did the same. It’s just such a great love story.
I am not a huge fan of this narrator however. The narration was not smooth at all, he seemed to stumble over words sometimes, paused at weird times, and didn’t differentiate the characters voices enough for me. I listen to audio books a lot, and after listening to so many great narrators, I was a bit disappointed in this.
But I listened to the whole book because it is THIS book, and for this book, I was willing to deal with that.
