The Return by Ellis Ward (R)
Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Author on LJ: no
Author Website: no
Why this must be read:
I'm starting my rec month off the same way I intend to finish it - with a story that concerns itself with the inner workings of Bodie's mind.
Ellis Ward writes romantic, satisfying tales that never disappoint, sometimes wrapped around uncomfortably violent circumstances. However, this isn't one of them - what little violence there is remains off screen. So what truly sets this story apart is how deceptively simple it is, as it begins under the saddest of conditions - the presumed death of a partner and the subtle yet inexorable decline of the one left behind. Of course, not all is as it seems and soon the Lads are separated from everything they've ever known and left only with each other - which turns out to be exactly what they'd both longed for and needed for a very long time. Yet all through the story, there's a question that haunts them - how authentic is the connection and how deeply does it go?
As always with this author, the prose is so pure and delicious you could eat it with a spoon; the love scenes are well-placed and sexy as hell. Ellis Ward's Bodie and Doyle are engaging, genuine and appropriately snarky, giving the reader a memorable experience of profound trust and intimacy.
