I have really liked all of the stories in this series, and the good thing is that they all have happy endings, and they can all be read as standalones. The characters do reappear in all the books so if read out of order you might not know exactly who they are or how they relate to the current story...but it's not as much of a problem as you would think. In this one we meet Greg who finds himself single after 25 years of marriage. He realized long ago he had an interest in men but being happily married...until he wasn't... he didn’t try to do anything about pursuing it.... but now that he’s single, he wants to give it a try. Sailo is a deejay at Wilde's Dance Club where they meet when some friends take him out thinking he might meet someone. Sailo and Greg are immediately attracted. They are upfront with one another – Greg wanting to explore his newly recognized side and since Sailo wasn't looking for a relationship, he agrees to help Greg out. No matter their intentions to keep things unemotional, their feelings grow and Sailo is concerned that Greg is just having a midlife crisis, is using him on the rebound...so things come to an unexpected, abrupt halt...and Greg is devastated. Greg is still trying to come to grips with what happened with his cheating ex-wife...their divorce after 25-years and trying to move on, and his growing feelings for Sailo. I really liked this one.... but then I've really liked all of this series. The entire story was done very well. It felt mature, with real life issues.... but I wouldn't have expected anything less from L.A. Witt. Another fabulous story from one of my favorite authors. ( )

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. There's a lot of wisdom here about endings and beginnings, reasons and faults and flaws, and the mess of sorting through it all so it makes sense. That was all good. I subtracted a star because the main characters thoughts are often repetitious, and some of the dialog is, too. This isn't uncommon in real life, but it's annoying in a story, at least to me. Because of it, I'm not entirely sold on the resolution, even though I enjoyed it. ( )
