This is an absolute comfort read without the saccharine. James Richards, a college professor, has been kicked hard in the heart and trust zones by a cheating, thieving (now ex) lover. Years later he still has not truly moved on. Rafael Ochoa, absolutely gorgeous, physically and emotionally, is everything that James wants but James is full of insecurities: their age gap, cultural differences and life experiences all make it seem impossible that he and Rafael could have any relationship, let alone build a life together. This book does have some angst but it’s low level, and certainly it has its share of humor and tenderness. Sweet reading. Loved this book! As always, i love Amy Lane's writing style and depth in her characters. She makes you want to be friends with or wish you were male and gay and then "friends" with all her characters.. James is professor who doesn't think he is going to find love after being badly burned and unexpectedly finds it in a sexy younger guy who seems his opposite but turns out to be a perfect match for him. It was great to see his progression back into life and I adored Rafi as his savior.
What do You think about It's Not Shakespeare (2011)?
I really liked this book! Super sweet romance just what I was in the mood for :)
