But… once that light bulb flashed they were done looking – for good. Neither guy was really looking for love and it kind of snuck up on them. I loved the little twists and turns this story took and the slow burn. Amy tells us these wonderful tales and then she throws in these phrases and images that remind me that she’s a good “writer” too. Or the reverse, some authors can really form a sentence and choose the best words and make lovely imagery – but their story is sort of – blah. Some can really spin a tale and keep you on the edge of your seat but their prose is nothing special.
** I’m not sure if I’ve said it before or not, but Amy Lane is not just a great storyteller – she’s a great writer! Not all authors are those together. Darrin ends up pushing Miguel and Ezra together at work and over time the two become close friends… but it’s not til they take a drive to Disneyland that they realize that this is something more. His crush on Adam is still freshly sore and his business has failed and he’s back selling candy… life is not his playground right now. Miguel doesn’t really know what to do with Ezra, the little kitten with the sad eyes. Though it’s a little bit of tears and recriminations at first, Ezra fairly easily falls into a nice routine there on the magic couch at Adam’s. So… Rico dumps him on the lawn of Adam and Finn and … Miguel who happened to be there at the time. He’s heartbroken when he realizes that ain’t gonna happen. After recovering from his breakdown – as much as he could – he decided to go to Sacramento to win Rico back. This is book three in the series and though it can probably be read as a standalone why the heck would you do that? Ezra was Rico’s boyfriend in New York, he broke Rico’s heart and then went decidedly off the rails in his cubicle where he worked for his evil father.
I love this series! Alces does fantastic job Suddenly Miguel is fending off every single man on the planet to give Ezra room to get over Rico - while fighting a burning suspicion that the best thing to help Ezra get over his broken heart is Miguel. Miguel starts to notice that Ezra isn't just amazingly sweet - he's achingly beautiful as well. But Ezra's placid nature and sincere wonder at the simple life Miguel has taken for granted begin to soften Miguel's hardened shell. When Miguel finds himself partially in charge of the befuddled, dreamy, healing Ezra, he's pretty resentful at first.
Miguel Rodriguez had great plans and ambition - but a hearty dose of real life crushed those flat. Ezra, confused, hurt, and lost, clings to Rico's cousin and his boyfriend as the lifelines they are - but their friend, Miguel, is another story. Instead Rico entrusts his family and friends with Ezra's care. Rico has moved on, but he doesn't just leave his ex high and dry.
Ezra Kellerman flew across the country to see if he had another chance with the man he let slip through his fingers.
