review 1: Jay McGhee is a 43-year-old firefighter in Roseville, Indiana. His life has been lonely -- he's probably the only gay man in the small town. One day, he got an accident while on the job, and he needed stitches on his back. The paramedic asked a stranger, 27-year-old Frank Kaplan, to help taking Jay to the hospital. Things progressed, they become friends -- both don't really know at first that the other is gay. Until Frank tell Jay about it -- and they decide to act on it.Sometimes, I don't need a story with too many conflicts or angst. Sometimes, a nice story about two people who fall in love is enough. This is what the story is all about -- for me. It doesn't even have an HEA, more like a possibility of HEA. But still it's really good because it's like real life and I tot... moreally love the closing sentence of the book. I love Vivien Dean's stories and this one is no exception.
review 2: This was going on rather nicely - one of those books I felt I could relax with. The two protags were likeable, normal people and their friendship developed without any problems. No rush to take it up a level. Or two. Mainly because Jay lives in a small town and, as far as he knows, is the only gay person. Frank is just passing by and Jay, wildly attracted to him, will never make a move on someone he assumes is straight. Besides, Frank, in his late twenties, is much too young for Jay's ancient 43. Or so he thinks.The story isn't rushed and the two men take their time to discover, first friendship, then sexual passion and, finally love. This was a four star read for me but when it ended, it was a 3-star. Why? Because everything moved along at the same pace. No ups, no downs. Then it just ends. Yes, it does so with an HFN but when I finished, the best analogy I could come up with to describe this story is that it's like someone who settles down for an afternoon snooze and dies peacefully in his sleep. less
