Tattoo artist, Austin, has a great life. He has a job he loves, a best friend who always supports him and, best of all, an incredible man, Micah, whom he loves with all his heart. Tragedy strikes and Austin is faced with raising his best friend's son (well, the little boy is technically his son since he donated the sperm). Will he be able to navigate fatherhood and not completely screw up the little boy entrusted in his care?Incredibly sweet, this story warmed my heart from start to finish. All of the characters were very likable and there was relatively no conflict. I could feel the connection between Austin and his adorably awkward and shy boyfriend. In my opinion, Micah stole the show with his kind demeanor and cute mannerisms. Tia Fielding mentions that a story from Micah's POV is in the works, and I definitely look forward to reading more about him and the beautiful family featured in this short story. somewhere approaching 4 starsVery sweet story of a young couple who suddenly find themselves with a 16 month old son, after the tragic death of his mother (who is one of the MC's oldest friends and who is himself the natural father of the child). The author asserts from the start that this is part of a potentially a longer story told from another character's point of view, but never the less it felt like a complete story.
What do You think about Inhaling Smoke (2014)?
DNFI couldn't care less for the characters and it would've been pointless to continue.

I really liked this. So cute, sweet, tragic, and really well done in so few words.
