I think that the author tried too hard to make a terrible story cute. I would give half a star if I could. ( )

Cute story about two men who meet at a gay resort. Burke and Staff are the main characters in this story. I liked Burke with his insecurities and his desire for something more than the casual hookup. I had trouble with Staff though. He was easy going, but I wonder about a man with questionable ethics that he would spy on another chef. He also easily lied to Burke and seemed to want to take control over the relationship on how fast it went and where it went. Staff's behavior kept me from liking him as much as I could have and enjoying the story more.

The author played around with words using them with double meanings which I liked.

I give it 3.5 stars. I really liked it, and there were some funny parts, I just didn't necessarily feel the chemistry between Staff and Burke through the entire story. And I never know how to feel about snooping cuz I see both sides. Burke came off a little crazy for snooping when he only knew Staff for a few hours, and then stalking him into the woods and confronting him. Just seemed a little childish, but it's a short story, so I guess it all had to be squeezed in somehow, so I'll give it a pass. ( )
