Publisher's summary

The Winds of Fortune series is season 2 of the best-selling M/M Romance thriller series More Heat Than The Sun. Please listen to the More Heat Than The Sun series first!

Most people in Aleksey Rider-Mikkelsen’s life would probably assert that at 50, honest living and sobriety were long overdue. But recovering in bed from the lingering after-effects of his leg injury, bored, in pain, and feeling entirely irrelevant, Aleksey doesn’t much care what Benjamin Rider-Mikkelsen thinks. He doesn’t appreciate the close monitoring either.

Fortunately for Aleksey, therefore, the devil reliably makes mischief for idle hands with too much money. No one said he wasn’t allowed to buy an island, did they? Of course, he’s not planning to do anything nefarious in his new kingdom, but equally, Aleksey doesn’t expect such a thoughtless purchase to plunge them both into a nightmare of old allegiances that puts all his new promises to Ben to the ultimate test.

Dear god, please release the next one!

These are some of my favorite characters, I've become so attached! You must start with the previous series, but they're getting much sweeter and more emotionally charged with each book. Really looking forward to the second in this series becoming available on Audible! I absolutely love Gary Furlong's acting and narration.

I cant wait to go on another adventure

I missed these characters so much. I'm strapping in for another wild ride. it took alittle while to get the actual story started but once it did, it got me hooked!

Awesome Start to a New Series with Beloved Characters

I adore John’s work and looked forward to this second series with the cast of beloved characters from the More Heat Than the Sun series. Loved, loved, loved this first installment. It is a wonderful blend of mystery, history, love, and friendship.

So happy to see these men again

Aleksey and Ben are two of my all-time favorite couples, and I’ve read and listened to a ton of books. The beautiful story-telling, the thrills and action, the heat, the twists and turns—make this pair the absolute best.

Top all that with Gary Furlong’s narration and you have perfection.

John Wiltshire doesn’t disappoint!

Another great book. I have come to expect excellence from John’s books and Gary Furlong’s narration and I have yet to be let down. The characters are interesting and well developed. The stories are intriguing and leave you excited for the next book.

The journey CONTINUES

One thing I have learned that like in actual life - there are many “regular” days - conversations; inside jokes; angst; smiles; reflections…on & on…what the brilliant John W. has done - is created a world for me to immensely enjoy the most Amazingly Beautiful love story I’ve encountered in fiction!!! The “actual” life of these magnificent characters will encompass “regular” days! While at the same time——There is always an undercurrent of danger brewing & this book (as always! DELIVERS!)

The story continues...

More Heat that the Sun is required reading before starting this.

I was so excited to see Ben and Aleksey's story continue!
**No Spoilers**
A lot of humor here and references to movies suggested by Ben for nightly entertainment. I have to agree with Aleksey, I'm not too sanguine on Ben's choices, lol! Anyway, if you enjoyed More Heat than the Sun, you'll love this!

Thank goodness for a 2nd series!

I loved the first series. Really well written. Great story-telling. Terrific narration. I read it in kindle to start. When it came out on audible I was thrilled.

But more stories? Wow! What a gift.

I don't often care about long series that were predominently love story. But John Wiltshire never flags. His wonderful feel for grabbing the reader early and pacing the action makes his stuff sing. Add to that a great sense of humor.

If you like m/m fiction at all, DON'T MISS MORE HEAT THAT THE SUN & NOW, THE WINDS OF fORTUNE.

Mr. Wiltshire: When I started Gods of... I was trying to remember what was so great. But then you took me up with worry for Alexei, then interest in the island and YAY another fabulous adventure with the boys. THANK YOU
