review 1: 3.5This was short and sweet with a good sense of humour and really funny dialogue in between. The plot might seem pretty cliché-laden (hot plumber meets geeky, insecure writer), but believe me, the characters give this story a very unusual touch ;D I had a bit of an issue with the present tense in this one. I like it usually, but this time it didn't fit the story in my opinion. And I definitely would have liked to read more about those two!
review 2: Very good short romance novella about Stephen, a high-strung romance writer, whose afternoon wrestling with the uncooperative (and bosom-heaving) heroine of his current work-in-progress is interrupted by Dave, the Adonis plumber who has finally arrived to unclog his pipes (in more ways than one.)It sounds like the... more set-up for a porn movie, but it’s totally not. And even though there are eventual sexy times, this wonderful story is mostly a character study of Stephen and Dave, and their slow dance from irritated writer and easy-going plumber to something more intimate and meaningful.Vale’s voice for both characters is *very British*, and there’s a lot of great slang (some of which I didn’t always understand), but both men's voices came off very strong and realized. I also loved that Vale slowly unravels both characters, so what you see initially isn’t at all what you get in the end. It’s sweet, funny, and exhilarating as new details are revealed, about the characters and their intentions. (And boy, did I love the ending.)It’s a fast read, but very recommended, especially if you’re looking for something short but good. less
