Heroes in Love Kindle Edition
NOT EVERY HERO WEARS A UNIFORM
Can love last a lifetime? Billy Walsh and Daniel Richards never intended to be matchmakers. After all, they're only at the start of their own love story. When Billy uncovers a failed love affair, he learns it lasted more than fifty years until it fell apart.
He and Daniel see their own fledgling relationship through the lens of the now estranged couple, and they vow to reunite the elderly lovers. But as they set about their task, the pressure of modern life threatens to tear them apart.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2023just finished reading the sixth book by this author. All great reading, but by far, this was my favorite. Now it's time to wash all the dishes and clean the floors. And do laundry. I'll think about a shower. When that's done I will find another book to read by David C Dawson.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2020The story of Daniel and Billy is so real. It may start with a classic meet-cute, crashing into one another’s arms, but the story dives so much deeper into their lives and fills the novel with so much raw emotion and love. It has me as a reader feeling very connected with almost every character in the story.
We’ve all read the cutesy, lovey-dovey romance that sends us head over heels, but we are not often gifted with the nitty-gritty that is the actual glue of romantic relationships. Daniel and Billy are both struggling in their personal lives with not only their careers, but also with their past relationships. They both have a lot to learn about communication, even if they already seem to have the intimacy part down pat!
The fiery passion between these two is only exemplified by how sweet they are as characters. They are both so caring that naturally when Chuck comes along with a mysterious past and a secret lost love, Billy and Daniel together find the key that may just be able to open up this grumpy old man’s heart again.
David C. Dawson does an excellent job creating characters that make an impactful story. Incredibly saucy sex scenes cannot even compare to the vibrant sauciness of Daniel’s good friend Maggie, whose biting wit and sincerity help craft this from a story of lust to a wonderfully memorable piece of romance. Not to mention Billy’s mother Sarah, who is an incredibly light and caring character with a set of unfortunate circumstances that just help guide Billy to be his best self. But trust me, there are many lusty moments too! The plot was thick with moments all over the spectrum of happy, sexy, and sad, and it was written so well that I was able to really let my heart laugh, love, and grieve the parts of the story that required me to do so.
Heroes in Love is an encouraging story about love, future aspirations, and forgiveness. It gives a wonderful assortment of queer representation that is so important to a much wider audience, and a story that is as well-written as it is H.O.T! David C. Dawson wrote true, REAL, love that takes hard work and care to cultivate, and it was such a pleasure to read along as the characters find their way to their true happiness. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who believes that love can find you at any time or place, and that true love will wait for you as long as you open your heart to the possibilities.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2021A book with an interesting concept, strong characters, and a detailed story that involves many different complex plot components of a terminally ill parent, challenging jobs, influential and still relevant prior relationships, and very strong secondary characters.
Overall, it was a good book. All of its components somehow come together and kept me entertained; the challenge was that, sometimes, it was just too much. There were too many details in spots, to the point where it impeded the story or seemed pointless. The cast of supporting characters were fun, but in places they completely overwhelmed the main characters and the story itself; felt like a new story was starting. Add in the layer of the secondary romance and the story become… complicated.
With that being said, the story was down to earth, wonderfully paced, identifiable, and beautifully written. Despite my criticisms above, maybe because of them, the book feels “real” rather than a trope-filled contemporary romance. Real life is messy and this book mimics it well.
4.5 stars. It wasn’t perfect, but is definitely something I’d recommend to others.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2020Billy and Daniel meet when they bump into each other at the hospital. Billy was visiting his mother. They start seeing each other but Daniel is keeping secrets. I really enjoyed this book.

MMy Thoughts and Review:
This was a sweet contemporary romance, interspersed with bittersweet moments that happen to just about all of us on this journey called LIFE.
Our two MCs, Daniel and Billy both work in healthcare to a degree. Daniel on the more artistic end of the spectrum as he incorporates music as a form of therapy and performance art into the lives of youth with disabilities of various types either mental or physical.
Billy is a once TV star turned social worker who left acting behind so he could be closer to his mom when she became ill. Now he visits clients each day to ensure they are having their medical needs met, as much as the health care system will allow, and hoping he is at least making some difference. The rest of the time he devotes to his mom and taking care of her.
As a mom who relies on her sons to take care of her, because of illness and disability, this book moved me in more ways than I intended for it to. It was filled with all kinds of wonderful emotions that ebbed and flowed like a gentle tide. There was never a feeling of being brow beaten with any particular one over another, however each one gave a slight tug on my soul.
This was a new to me author, and I enjoyed the experience of his storytelling immensely. I will be back for more in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent book
I have read all five of David Dawson's book and have loved every one of them. He tells an excellent story involving very believable characters that one cannot avoid wanting to get to know better. I hope he will keep on writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gay relationship really can last!
I am delighted to have discovered David's books. I have read and enormously enjoyed the Delingpole Mystery books but I am particularly impressed by Heroes in Love. Here we have two love stories; a couple in their early thirties, both heroes in their own way, exploring their new relationship, and a more elderly couple who incidentally are real life heroes and whose relationship goes back fifty years. There are many such couples out there but gay literature tends to ignore them. This makes Heroes in Love a particular delight. All four of the main characters are beautifully explored and the story takes the reader in many directions. I loved it and greatly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read
A super feel good read. A double treaded love story but with a little grit and very believable. An ending which suggests a possible sequel. If there is one, I look forward to it!
