Book Blurb

Sometimes the best-laid plans don't mean you get laid.

Chaz and Mike are inaugurating their life together as an openly gay couple. Bliss is inevitable, until a dead relative rises up and brings their plans to a screeching halt.

Chaz's not-so-dearly departed Amish Uncle Silas has bequeathed his nephew his farm . . . and a $60,000 tax bill if Chaz doesn't play by the rules.

With empty wallets, the duo and their kitten, TCT, head off for Iowa to live on the farm for ninety days - without electricity or plumbing . . . or sex.

While Mike finds trees to climb, horses to ride, and a big ax to play with, and TCT discovers a wide array of critters to chase and capture, Chaz faces a past veiled in mystery.

As a young boy, Chaz spent time on the farm. Why can't he remember the giant oak tree or the ancient barn? Each time he tries to enter the barn, terror stops him cold.

Chaz will need courage he's never had before, along with all the strength in his partner's lusciously muscled body, to solve the riddles plaguing him. Keeping Mike and his ax from chopping off the wrong piece of lumber might not be a bad idea, either.

Book Review

The story of Chaz, the accountant who writes gay romance novels, and his new partner Mike, the construction worker, continues in this very aptly named sequel to Out of the Closet. If they thought life in the city as an openly gay couple might be tough, they now find out that life in the country as a gay couple (out or otherwise) is totally impossible. Especially when taking the weird conditions of Chaz's uncle's will into account.

Chaz has no idea why his uncle put so many strange conditions in his will, but as soon as he makes it to the farm in Iowa, he knows something else is going on. The mystery of half-remembered events almost drives him crazy, but when he finds ut what's been going on, and what he's supposed to do, it is a wonderful and heart-warming twist I hadn't expected.

Mike is as wonderful as ever. He takes to country living in a flash and has more fun than should be legal, much to Chaz's amazement. He also proves, over and over, that he is a man who cares deeply, and will do anything to make Chaz happy.

With the same humorous tone as the first book, his second book carries a deeper story, and I loved the insights into Chaz and Mike's minds. Their adventure on the farm in Iowa is a great story! If you want to read something of a mystery, that will make you laugh and cry in equal measure, give this book a try. I really liked it a lot!
