Book Description
Ted and Bill, evacuated to Yorkshire during World War II, vow to be best friends the day they meet. When the war ends and they return to London, where Bill’s father dies, and Ted’s family take Bill into their home.

Summary
In 1605, Robbie Elliot—a Reiver and musician from the Scottish borders—nearly went to the gallows. The Witch of the Hermitage saved him with a ruse, but weeks later, she cursed him to an ethereal existence in the sea. He has seven chances to come alive, come ashore, and find true love. For over a century, Robbie’s been lost to that magic; six times love has failed. When he washes ashore on the Isle of Skye in 1745, he’s arrived at his last chance at love, his last chance at life.

Synopsis
I thought ease would come, here, tucked away in the safe uneventfulness of Hunsford. It would seem I was mistaken.

Apparently I’ve been on a bit of a Keira Andrews kick lately. Voyageurs is an historical gay romance, set in Canada. I loved that this was something a bit different once again.
Set in 1793, this novella tells the story of Simon Cavendish, a young man who must get to his new station at an outpost in the Canadian wilderness. He’s running late and has missed the main opportunities for transport, but there is one man who’s willing to take him on this canoe journey so late in the summer. Christian Smith needs the money desperately, so although he doesn’t think much of the man he’s going to be stuck with for weeks on end, he takes on the task.
Being thrown together, alone, travelling seemingly endless lakes and rivers on their expedition, attraction starts to blossom between the two men. But their backgrounds are so different that, if they give in to their desire, could they ever have a life together anyway?
This is yet another intriguing and unique story from Andrews. The characters in this tale were particularly intriguing, with their deep motivations and such different personalities. The setting made for an incredibly tense tale at times, which only made the sexy and romantic scenes all the more touching. I found this to be another gripping, well-written gay romance read, and one I’d recommend if you enjoy historicals – but with a difference.
