Mike is thrilled when his old university crush turns up at his door in answer to his roommate advertisement. Wes doesn't remember Mike at all, or even realize he's gay, but that doesn't stop Mike from pursuing a determined campaign of seduction. The trouble is, Mike isn't ready to give up his free and easy lifestyle and settle down with just one man. Mike isn't comfortable with public displays of affection. Wes doesn't like anything resembling the proverbial closet, but Mike's still buried deep inside one where his family is concerned. Will Wes have the patience to deal with Mike's issues, or will their dream come true end up a nightmare? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The book is totally nice! Is a mix of nice coincedence, of nice friends, of nice familiar situations, of nice living quarters... But lets start from the beginning. Wes is searching for a room near the hospital where he will be a ER doctor at his first year. He has just lost three places since he was out and proud, but it's is nature, Wes was also a LGBT rights activist at college. Now he decides that in the next place he will fly down, at leat at first. But when he enters Mike's house and meets Mike, there are very few doubts that the man is gay, first nice coincidence. Mike is not only gay, but he is also from the same small town of Wes and they went to the same University, second nice coincidence (at least they didn't majored in the same thing, Wes is a doctor, Mike is an engineering). But... Mike actually remembers Wes from that time, since Mike was not out in college and he had a secret crush right for Wes, third nice coincidence. Not only that, Mike's little brother and Wes' little sister were at college together (even if they didn't know of Mike's crush for Wes) and now they are engaged to marry!!! All right at this point I decided to stop the count of the nice coincidences and enjoy the book.
So where were we? Wes meets Mike, Mike seduces Wes, Wes marries Mike... ah, no, this last thing actually doesn't happen, it's Greg that marries Marie, and Wes and Mike are the groomsmen. Anyway when Mike sees Wes on his doorstep, he sees his dream comes true and it doesn't take too much time for him to drag the man in his bed. It's not actually a real steady relationship that Mike is searching, he is quite happy with the life he has, it's more the fullfillment of his secret fantasy. Mike is living in a tight knit circle of friends, where everyone knows each other, and where everyone is safe and well informed, more or less everyone inside the circle is one time or the other being involved with someone else, and they are happy like that. So when Wes enters the picture, Mike is quite sure that he can bring along his way of life, having one of those friends living with him.
But fate has other plans for them, and the discovery of their soon to be in-laws relationship pushes Mike to come out with his family, a thing he has always delayed. Coming clear with his family makes Mike wonders about his life; he realizes that he like to have someone to come home to, he likes to have someone to go bed with, he likes to have someone to wake up with... in short he likes to be in a committed relationship. Truth be told they are still at the beginning of this relationship, I would like to see them in a year or so, when Mike will start to suffer from Wes' crazy shifts, a thing that for now Mike finds 'endearing', since it allows him to take care of 'his' man like a good little wife...
From the realization that, without ever they wanting it, they are now in a real relationship, the novel moves very fast downright in a sea of sugar, gay friends, gay relatives and acceptance arrive from everywhere and everytime you turn the corner, it's almost like now that Mike came out to his parents, he sees all the world from a 'gayous' perspective (pun inteded); they are all so polite that I was really wondering how a good like and a nice pink glass perspective the author has on the world, since she seems unable to be bitter or nasty. It's almost refreshing to read something like that, it puts you in a very dreamy mood. The nice spicy to the story is the sex, that is a bit kinky and a lot funny, almost always sweet and never too much, refreshing as all the rest of the book. So yes, this is a very nice first attempt for this author, but be warned, don't read it after eating chocolate, it could be dangerous ;-)
