Book Review

Cute, short, and very romantic describes this short snapshot of Dobb's life after he gets rescued from being kidnapped. The story focuses on the events one year after his return, and shows how the lingering aftereffects of a traumatic event have changed Dobbs's perspective on life. The coincidence as to who comes to sweep him off his feet may be unrealistic, but it does make for a very touching story.

 

Dobbs is just an average guy, and the kidnapping (about we don’t hear a lot) throws him for a loop. He got rescued, but a year later he still struggles with the aftereffects. The focus of the story is on his 'new normal' – which is really all about him adapting to life at home. The man he meets and trusts implicitly is all for making that a pleasurable experience, and the two are off to a very good start once Dobbs decides to finally go for it. The gentleness between them is palpable, and yet the encounter is very hot as well. An excellent balance as far as I am concerned!

 

If you like short stories leaving you wishing for more, if two hot men being tender and loving together is your thing, and if you’re looking for a short, romantic piece of writing, this is it. I certainly wouldn’t mind reading more about Dobbs and Bruce, but found that even this tiny morsel left me happy and smiling.
