review 1: Jason is the owner of a gay night club, struggling with the overhead and a mortgage he can't afford after his ex-boyfriend left him high and dry. Micheal is a divorced acupuncturist struggling to make ends meet. After 5 years of pain from a biking accident Jason begrudgingly takes his friend Seth's advice and goes to see Micheal for treatment. Micheal and Jason get to talking and Jason thinks he can solve money problems for them both by having Micheal and his son he has part time rent a couple of rooms from him. Can Jason handle living with a hot straight guy that he is extremely attracted to?I loved these guys, I just wish there had been more of them as a couple. The sexual tension was off the charts, and I wish there had been more sex. I love L.A.'s books, her writing s... moretyle is awesome, but my one complaint is in almost all the books I have read there is no true romance, I Love you isn't said, and I don't get a true HEA.. I like things wrapped up nice and neat. I want an epilogue. :-( I love her books, but for $7.00 a book I want romance and a HEA!!!
review 2: This is book 1 of the Tucker Springs series and a re-released 2014 edition. I have followed this gay romance series since book 2, Second Hand, so I did enjoy getting to read book 1. This series centers around stories set in the same imaginary place, Tucker Springs. Cynically I could say that's a lot of romances in the same place (and a lot of the characters know each other, appearing as secondary characters and getting their own story and romance at some point), but this series does work, tying in enough sentiment and real-life issues that anyone can relate to. The characters are finding their own place in life to belong, and they have their own baggage and issues to resolve. The characters are older adults, so there are less "new adult" issues and first adult love angst.Jason is owner of a floundering business, a mortgage he can barely take care of with his partner leaving, and chronic shoulder pain. Michael is an acupuncturist who is also struggling financially and divorced with joint custody of a son. They both meet when Jason seeks Michael's help for the shoulder pain. They both eventually become roommates to help with their financial situations, but it's complicated by Jason's attraction to Michael, while Michael is supposedly straight. So, yeah, their situation has "it's complicated" all over it, and there are a bunch of roadbumps and setbacks before they reach any resolution.I like the concept with the Tucker Springs series, and this is one of the stronger titles in the series. This work is a quick read, with a very readable style, strong dialogue (good amount of profanity), enough sentiment and realism to the story. Both characters are in their 30s, and there may not be high drama moments full of angst, but there are difficult scenes that are handled well. less
