AUTHOR: Kris T. Bethke
PUBLISHER: Dreamspinner Press
LENGTH: 52 pages
BLURB:
Will Grant only attends the PFLAG meeting because his mother guilts him into it. But the instant he hears the night’s speaker, Will is glad he showed up. Joshua Rhinehardt is dynamic and engaging. Although Joshua isn’t physically Will’s type, Will can’t get the man out of his head.
Joshua may be comfortable in his own skin, but it isn’t often men like Will are attracted to him, and he’s not comfortable changing for someone else. He wants to make a life with Will, but his own insecurities keep getting in the way.
Will’s unwavering acceptance helps Joshua see that when two people connect, physical appearance just might not matter at all.
REVIEW:
Will Grant wasn’t expecting anything, really, when his mother guilted him into attending one of her PFLAG meetings. But he takes one look at the speaker they have that night and he is smitten. Which is odd, since Joshua is not really his type. But there is something about the man than intrigues Will. And Will has every intention of getting closer to Joshua, even if he has to eat every pumpkin roll in Joshua’s cafe to do it (that is a sacrifice he is more than willing to take!).
I’m feeling kinda bad right now, because I skipped one of my PFLAG meetings in order to stay home and read this. Turns out writing a story is a time-consuming business and it cuts severely into my free reading time. But I don’t think I could function without reading something and I am really glad that the something I read tonight was this.
It’s so fluffy!
This was only 50 or so pages, but it was a sweet 50 pages. There is not a lot of conflict (other than a few minor issues) and absolutely no angst. It was as sweet and lovely as one of those pumpkin rolls sounded like. God, I could murder a pumpkin roll right now.
This was a very quick read and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Both of the characters were interesting, and I loved that Will found himself falling for someone he never expected to fancy. Sometimes Joshua is a bit unsure why Will wants him, and honestly, Will doesn’t have an answer for why he found Joshua initially attractive, but it doesn’t matter why. He just does. And he is perfectly fine showing just how attracted to Joshua he is. Over and over and over. Just to thorough, you know. 😉
Very good story and I’d love to see more of these two, if the author ever wants to indulge me. A perfect light snack of a book. Though I will say, maybe have a few snacks around before you start reading, because I am famished and in serious need of pumpkin delicacies (that are, sadly, in very short supply around here).
