review 1: This story is a novella, and on the shorter side, but completely worth it. I picked it up on a whim during Dreamspinner’s sale a while back and thoroughly enjoyed it. It certainly wasn’t a heavy book, but it was a nice sweet read without lacking substance. Joe’s past issues were believable and the relationship that develops between him and Claude was very believable. The treasure hunt on Joe’s skin was such a fun thread throughout the book and I loved the way Claude’s creativity shook Joe out of his humdrum life. There’s a bit of a lingering question throughout the book that causes some angst and lthough I guessed the “twist” to that issue long before the end, it didn’t make it any less wonderful.While it may not be a story that changes the world it�... more��s a very solid feel-good read.
review 2: What a beautifully written story. I wasn't quite sure what to think of this one going in but it turned out to be a really unexpected treat. Joe is a travel writer from New York who has been avoiding coming back to the city since he broke up with his boyfriend. Claude translates gay romance into French. They meet at the hotel they're both staying at when they both steal a hotel pen. Claude writes on Joe and Joe follows the clues. So begins a cute journey through NYC.This is a fun story but it also has a very emotional underpinning to it. It ends more with a HFN than a HEA but I have hopes for them. less
