In 1845, as America is drowning in its own racial conflict, in a time when forbidden love has to remain a secret, can two young men find love when one has everything to lose, and the other has nothing?
For Tobias, a young African man, life has ended before it began. Snatched abruptly from his homeland and enslaved into the Antebellum South, grand homes and majestic oak trees meant little to him. Now he is considered the property of other men, but his spirit would not be broken.
The awkward Benjamin Nathanael Lee lives a privileged life. His father owns the largest tobacco plantation south of the Mason Dixon line. Ben wants little to do with the harsh realities of running a plantation—that is, until he meets Tobias, the one person that changes everything for him.
Wealth, greed, and power brought them together. The same now threatens to separate them forever. The two men are on the verge of losing the one thing that matters their love for one another. Against the odds, they steal off and embark on a journey to find freedom the freedom to love one another and to live a life without the chains of slavery.
Come to the Oaks is the tale of a forbidden romance—a love forged by two young men as they journey through a land that is tearing itself apart.
Come to the Oaks Gay Historical Romance eBook Bryan T Clark
This m/m romance is the love story between two men of great disparity: a slave and his owner. Slowly it becomes obvious that in order for them to love freely, they must both be free men. So both undertake a dangerous journey via the underground railroad, from Kentucky to Canada. Their dedication to each other is amazing, and I loved the concluding pages of the story. There's a wonderful HEA that should satisfy any romance reader.The story is told in a mix of omniscient and third person point of view, and the characters have unique voices. There are unexpected and tragic events that are handled skillfully and add to the historical setting. Kudos to Mr. Clark for choosing to tell such a challenging tale.

Come to the Oaks Gay Historical Romance eBook Bryan T Clark Reviews
Very Well Done.
Beside being a wonderful story, it contains great historical value. Brian is a great writer I have enjoyed all of his books
Very well written book good storey line.Keeps you turning the pages.
I want more! This delicately and sensitively written novel was an interesting, happy, sad period piece. Very well done. Easy to connect with the characters and was a nicely consistent, character-driven story. I would love this to be either the first in a series or at least find these characters again in this time period with new and more "issues."
The story takes place in the 1830's when slavery was common in the south. Ben is a son of a plantation owner who goes to the slave market and see's Tobias curled up in the cell. Ben falls for Tobias and buys him but never treats him as a slave more as in equal. The other characters in the book are believable Penny the little girl the older slave woman who need the caretaker of the babies. Course you have the overseer who has s score to settle with any who gets in his way. The is another book by Bryan Clark I read the book every chance I got. Can't wait for the next book from Mr. Clark!
I was a little leery of this story, at first. A young master falling in love with his slave, in 1845 Kentucky? I'll be frank, it was a plot that made me uncomfortable, but then the sample was so good, I knew I had to buy this. And the author really overturned any fears or preconceived notions I had about the plot, completely.
After reading this book, I feel as if I was taken on a long journey into a time and place I really knew so little about. It was an amazing read, consistently interesting and heartwrenching. And so realistic, I wondered throughout if there would be any happiness for these men.
I thought there were a few idiosincrancies in speech at times, but not enough to throw off my absorption in the time period. I would happily read another historical by this author.
"The scenario" has a lot to offer--conflicts (barriers?) of slave/owner, color/race, language, and sexual orientation. Great opportunities but also significant difficulties for the writer. Definitely a hard one to write, and Bryan seems not quite up to it. Language gets somewhat of a "slide past" pass, so we read words and phrases that shout (to me, anyway) "Well, that wouldn't have been spoken." ("sexual relationship" "long term deep commitment") And a number of decisions seem to portray much poorer thinking than we're led to believe reasonable for the two guys--ya gotta have some problems for there to be a story, of course; but I don't like my "heroes" to seem like "dummies."
The plot itself, though, is worth it.
