In Because of Love by Kyus Philnesta, Kyle Mackey is trying to get over the devastating rejection of a marriage proposal to Simone Banister. His best friend, Tony Patterson, was by his side the whole time. They met at the police academy 15 years ago and have been friends ever since. They are now partners and have each other’s back at work and personally. Kyle has been in a relationship with Lena for six months and does not know how to let go and take another chance at love.
Kyle needs Tony more than ever when Simone resurfaces after three years. Simone breaks some shocking news to Kyle and she needs him to be there for her. Kyle cannot imagine why she would come to him of all people. This definitely does not help in his relationship with Lena. Meanwhile, Tony has come under investigation at the precinct. He does not inform Kyle that he too could be under investigation because of all of the drama going on with him at home. Can things get any worse? Will Kyle help Simone in her time of trouble? What will become of his new relationship with Lena? Will his friendship with Tony be able to endure this investigation?
Philnesta tells a story of love until death. It was a good story but I felt it could have had a better climatic point in the plot. There was room for more entertainment. The message in the story was touching. I look forward to reading more from Philnesta.
