"This Isn't Goodbye" by Iyana Jenna is a short and sweet gay romance story with some explicit homo-erotic scenes.At the heart of the story however is not the sex at all but the deep, honest and profound love between Taylor and Jamie. Married with a child the two men juggle their responsibilities.In skillfully inserted and very brief flashbacks Jenna takes the two lovers back to their school days, where we learn about a story that then finds itself into the present narrative.Besides this masterful plotting the story pulled on my heart strings in many ways. The romance part between the couple is sweet and beautifully done. Taylor and Jamie are honest and devoted and great characters in their own right.While gay couples are gradually receiving equal rights it is good to see fiction that shows how such couples lead their equal lives.With the erotic content the underlying message might not (p)reach beyond the already converted but that does not matter. It is a beautiful story, well written and just right.
