Rainbow Book Reviews
If familiarity breeds contempt then maybe you’d expect proximity to have the same effect – except, as this story proves, that is not necessarily the case. Much like in ‘The Elevator’, the two guys in this story only need a chance to get physically close to understand there is a lot of potential for more between them. Not that they figure it out immediately – but that is what this story is all about. Flynn starts off in a bad place – left at the altar by the woman he thought he wanted to marry, he is ashamed and frustrated and really has no idea where his head is at. When he helps out a fellow traveler who finds himself without a room in a blizzard, Flynn begins a journey that has him discover he is not as straight as he always thought. Beau is gay and not averse to showing Flynn “the other side of the fence”, and even though he falls for Flynn much more quickly than anticipated, he is wise enough to step back and give Flynn the space he needs to figure out what is going on. If you like stories about men who discover their sexuality later in life, if you believe strangers can sometimes be helpful in discovering the truth, and if you’re looking for a quick, hot read about a life-changing situation and its consequences, then you might like this novella.
