BLURB:
Jordan Baldwin has a job at a popular coffee shop, a cool apartment downtown, and a charming hunk of a new neighbor who doesn’t mind taking a chance on him. Jordan’s also got a smartass mouth on him, just like his new boyfriend, Grant Heathman. Compatibility is definitely a plus.
Grant writes a review column called “Take A Look” for the local newspaper, which intrigues Jordan even more since Grant is blind. But Grant takes Jordan to a new Italian restaurant and shows him how it’s done, leaving the place with only a modest 4-star review. Just when Jordan doesn’t think Grant can impress him any further, the surprises keep on coming.
After a bad review, Jordan finds himself kidnapped, roughed up, and mistaken for Grant. Now Grant and Jordan must hide out before the next “look” they take is from a coffin.
REVIEW:
When Jordan runs into his new neighbor in the hall outside his apartment, he is instantly attracted to the man, and lucky for him the attraction is mutual. Grant shares Jordan’s quirky sense of humor and soon the 2 are sharing a coffee at the café where Jordan works. Jordan is impressed by Grant, and how he has not let his blindness stop him from doing the work he loves, Grant likes Jordan’s quick wit and easy going manner. I found myself grinning a lot while reading this – the dialogue between the two was sometimes clever, sometimes silly but always fun. The two MCs are likable and their romance is low key and sweet.
There is very little drama or angst in this story, although there is some excitement as Jordan is assaulted by a couple of wise-guys when he is mistaken for Grant, but the situation is resolved fairly quickly with help from Jordan’s dad, with no additional fuss or pain. In the end Jordan and Grant have their HEA.
Overall this was a fun read, if you are looking for something light and sweet, this is a good choice.
