John Inman books are always good for a giggle and this one is no different. Dillard just turned 30 and is stuck in a rut. His books aren't selling and he is moving from menial job to menial job (and he has the ugly uniforms as mementos). On the way home from dinner with his overbearing mother and his half senile grandfather he rescues a dog and his life takes and strange turn for the better. Hector does change things and within a week Dillard has added a dog, a baker, and loud bakery owner and a wonderfully sweet man to his life. This was my first John Inman book and I gotta say I enjoyed it. I found the story entertaining and funny, it moved along nicely, the sex was good and steamy and emotionally it drew me in. This book was definitely a light fun read, meant to entertain not move you emotionally. That being said I don’t get into books regardless of their high laugh rating without being emotionally involved with the characters. And I definitely loved the charters in this story.Dillard Brown does not come from the average middle class family. No, he comes from a rather odd and quirky bunch who kept me in stitches. Dillard is a writer, but to pay the bills he works at fast food joints. So he goes from job to job, eventually getting let go for various reasons and meeting strange people along the way. One day after leaving is parents home he finds a dog being harassed by some coyotes and rescues the little guy. This eventually leads him to it’s owner Hector. Now Hector is definitely someone Dillard wants to know better, but Hector has recently ended an abusive relationship and doesn’t want Dillard to get involved and get hurt. So begins the journey of Dillard and Hector, trying to get to know each other, dealing with an abusive scary ex, and dealing with Dillard’s odd family. I enjoyed this story, it was a light fluffy read that definitely gave me what I was looking for after a long stressful day, fun and a moment of escape.

Adored this story. Absolutely amazing. Way to knock it out of the park again John Inman.

1.5 StarsRomance was non existent, but it did provide a few laughs.
