Fantastic and entertaining! The author quickly captures the reader's attention with his travel tales that are captivating, honest, and fun. I ended up anticipating the next chapter, one after the other. The music adds another whole dimension - for a complete experience. Looking forward to his next book!!

Read Marcus Mortonsson!! Listen to Mortonsson’s Music
The Lonely Ache by Marcus Mortonsson
This book is very engaging right from the start. A young man who has the opportunity to travel takes time off to seek for LOVE! The book’s clever and sometimes very humorous point of view highlights a man’s innermost thoughts on life and how to find a loving partner. So many rom/com books are written from a female view, but very few provide an intelligent look into a practical man’s take on important life issues like spirituality, healthy living and a search for true love. As an open and secure individual,
author Marcus Mortonsson shows and explains the vulnerability of the younger man while entertaining the reader on a trip to the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden. Finally, each chapter is highlighted by the opportunity to tune in and listen to Mortonsson’s original music on the readers’ media devices. ElizabethQ.

The Lonely Ache
A young man on a journey to find that one special relationship is presented with interesting encounters along the way, as he passionately pursues his dream. Whether he finds true love or not, it's the journey initiated by that burning desire that kept me engaged in this book! It is well written and entertaining. Also, the music selections that follow the chapters add a nice finishing touch to each chapter. Good Job!

A Really Good Book with toe-tapping MUSIC!!
This author has a story-telling gift, with a good sense of humor. We live this "River of Life" every day but it has a more thoughtful meaning now after reading this book. I went back to Chapter 10 (especially page 60) to enjoy the parts about Fear or Freedom with Charles and Yappy. Each chapter is short enough to read on-the-go (but hard to put down!). Everyone can relate to something happening in each chapter. I hope Book One is just the beginning...thanks for the fun read! ~CM
