BLURB:
Loveland, Colorado is a special place all year around, a community of creativity and art, with scenic views and majestic mountains. But the town really shines once a year, on Valentine’s Day.
Lucky Roberts has lived in Loveland his whole life. He has good friends, strong family support, and is all about keeping his community fun and alive. The only thing Lucky has been “unlucky” with is love. But rather than avoiding February fourteenth in his hometown, he throws himself into helping others deliver their messages of love.
Enter Jack Canon. Jack moved to Loveland for a fresh start, in both his personal and professional lives. After a tough year, he’s finally hoping to just blend in, maybe carve a little niche for himself that his parents would have been proud of. What he didn’t expect was a pseudo-lumberjack with a killer body and shy smile to turn his world upside down – and he sure didn’t expect to like it so much.
When Lucky meets Jack, he feels like a thirteen year-old with his first crush. He’s clumsy, stammering, and the first greeting out of his mouth is a less than articulate, “Wow!” Words like adorable and manbun suddenly become part of his vocabulary as he discovers a deep, hidden need to romance the hell out of Jack.
And what better way to do that than during the most romantic season in the City of Love.
REVIEW:
I have been wanting to read and do a review of a K-lee Klein book since I had the wonderful honor of meeting her at Rainbow Con last summer in Tampa. She was so sweet and wonderful to meet. I am also thankful that I chose this particular book to “cut my teeth on” so to speak. She used a lot of these old-time phrases my parents used to say like that. It was warm and very nostalgic for me. I have a feeling that I am going to like this new series! Especially when she ends this delightful novella with “The end…for now.”!
This is not a book filled with angst nor hot, erotic sex. It wouldn’t have been appropriate with this story. It was sweet, slow to act on desires and what I would want for these two grown men that had approached a time in their adulthood when they needed more in their lives than a quick roll in the hay. I loved how tradition and traditional views were a highlight to this book. Not to say that either of these men were innocent and virtuous, but how they took their time to getting to know each other more fully was quite refreshing. Both men endeared themselves to me and I so wanted a HEA and I believe they are well on their way to that. I do hope that the next in the series is how they move to the next phase in their relationship.
A bit of a warning, if you are looking for a book filled with hot sex…this is not the book for you. But, if you are looking for the start of something wonderful and endearing, I think you found the perfect choice. I can’t wait for the next book in this series and hope that Ms. Klein doesn’t make me wait too long. Perfect Valentine novella!
