BLURB:
“Say hi to Doug at the car show.” Just because Keith is a good pal, has good intentions and has great taste in men doesn’t mean Terry wants his own personal matchmaker. With his luck and past experience, he and the man Keith set him up with would hate each other on sight. Besides, Terry can’t look for the elusive Doug: he’s too busy ogling a certain gorgeous 1949 MG TC.
The sleek roadster stands out even among a field of classic beauties, and so does the driver. Is it too much to ask that the guy forget about Terry making a fool of himself over the right hand drive and sexy red fenders? Not likely he’ll forget Terry accidentally flinging a bowl of coleslaw at his chest.
If terminal embarrassment isn’t bad enough, now Terry’s had a dental disaster, leaving him with two choices: stay in agony for days, or see the new man in the practice.
Terry’s at the office by one thirty sharp. And he’s parked next to a red MG.
REVIEW:
What a sweet little story!
Stories this short, only 31 pages are hard to do right. Either too much is crammed in to too short of a story, or it’s all porn and no plot. This one actually has a story! Boy sees boy, boy meets boy and embarrasses himself, boy meets boy again and embarrasses himself again, they spend some time together and we assume live happily ever after! That’s really all I need, anything else is fun stuff, details, drama, etc, but at heart I need some basic stuff. They meet, they fall in love, and end up together forever. That happens here and I liked it!
Terry is just a klutzy goofy guy, a car nut, a nurse, a veteran, and has a motor mouth under nitrous oxide. Doug is a cool dude, classic car owner, wearer of coleslaw, and dental emergency rescuer. These two make a great pair and provided a fun little story.
I read another book by P.D. Singer a few month ago and liked it but didn’t love it, so I wanted to try another of her books to see if it was just that book that didn’t work for me, and I am happy to say that was the case. I really enjoyed this story, the cute banter was fun, the little bit of sex was sweet, the details were nice, the characters were good, and the writing was great. This is part of a series, but worked as a stand alone just fine. There are characters mentioned from previous stories and I was curious so I bought the others in the series and I’m reading them now. They are short and fun too! This is a great little series of books!
If you are looking for something light and fun, I’d give this one a try. Or go buy all of the stories in the On Call series and read them all!
