review 1: Cute story about two college boys Al and Eliot. Al is from a rich conservative & political family. Eliot is from a struggling single parent family and is an orphan since he turned 17 yr old. Eliot has history with a rich guy who was in the closet, used him but despised him, and laughed at him with his girlfriend/friends. He is also partially deaf and is used to keep to himself to avoid being hurt by people's intolerance. Al has been in the closet for a long time and is afraid to live openly because of his family's political ambitions and a past mistake of his. He feels like he needs to be a very good boy to atone for the embarrassment he caused to himself and his family.For all this reasons, and some other, Eliot is wary of Al and has been giving him the cold shoulder for ... moremore than a year. But when they end up working together at a bar, the proximity makes it impossible to ignore their feelings for each other. It is sweet story, but not very well rounded. It is nice, short read though.
review 2: While this is never going to be an all-time favorite of mine from this author, it still reminds me of why I love her writing. I never really picked up that Al wasn't as straight as he let on in "Wanting", so this one came at somewhat of a surprise. I loved his story, and I loved Elliot. I wish that instead of being out of town, that Ben and Jeremy had been included in this sequel. It was a sweet story, and I'm so glad that she's writing again and releasing new stuff for us to read. less
