These tales and more intertwine in Adam’s memory as he considers the rippling effect of choices made and chances taken.Told with romantic mystery, urgency, and hope, Luke P. Narlee’s collection of stories captures brief, significant moments in his characters´ lives. These 13 narratives of the heart remind us there are things in life that just can´t wait.“Luke P. Narlee scores again with this wonderful collection of stories. His relationship dialogue, that is masterfully written in his two full length novels, comes through in “This Can't Wait,” a connected collection of love, romance, and destiny woven into lives that cross countries and time. A delightful, heartwarming read.”-N.M McGregor, author of the Montana Series
