This is such a sweet story that makes me wish it was Christmas time while I'm reading it because it's a good holiday read. Elliot and Shawn have one of those cute meets and we know that though these two are different, they have a connection. They both meet accidentally at an antique shop both wanting the same old fashion bed for their perspective boyfriends.El (as he likes to be called) has enough money to pay for the bed in cold hard cash, Shawn is barely getting buy, but really wants the bed to deepen the relationship of the man he loves.El realizes that there is an innocence and a kindness about Shawn that he likes and proposes a series of contest.This is a wonderful little story that is hopelessly romantic and just highly recommended! I loved how BG turned a potentially harmful situation for Shawn into a Cinderfella story. Shawn was just so stupidly Naive he would clean out his life savings + work overtime to buy his materialistic 'boyfriend' a bed he could not afford hoping the guy would actually ask him to move in.It was obvious his boyfriend was not that into him and was just yanking his chain. The guy would not commit outright and kept asking for the bed he knew Shawn could not afford. We get Elliot's POV and how he has money to burn for a two month 'all sex' affair with a himbo named Steve.I loved how Elliot and Shawn spend time together for a contest to win the bed for their significant other and realize they are very compatible. The progress of their growing feelings for each other had me swooning all over the placeWell the twist in the end which could have actually been a traumatic situation actually becomes a solution to their problem. They actually have timing and a total jerk to thank for their HEA!YAY BG Thomas!!!
You could see the reveal coming from more than a mile away, but it was still a rather cute story.
