Book Blurb

Eric is stunned when the night before his first heats in the ‘Golden Shears’ competition, his ex-boyfriend turns up on the door. Even more so when he finds Justin isn’t alone, and, thanks to a booking error by the motel, will be sharing his motel accommodation.

Eric tries to focus on shearing, and reaching the finals, but he never really got Justin out of his heart. When he thinks things between Justin and his boyfriend Pita aren’t right, he finds it impossible to ignore the younger man.

Can he and Justin find the happy ending they both seek?

 

Book Review

Sometimes letting a lover go, especially if he is a lot younger and not yet established in life, may be the best thing for his future. But when said lover comes back a couple of years later and both are confronted with the reality of their feelings, it can either go well or horrendously wrong. This is the story of one such reunion, as unexpected as it is initially tense.

Eric, a sheep farmer and the narrator of this story, has done his best to let Justin go so the fifteen year younger man can get the experience he’ll need to get a good job, but he has never really stopped loving him. So when he turns up at a sheep shearing competition, with what looks like a boyfriend in tow, Eric has no idea what to do. He knows he should not be jealous, but he cannot help himself. I was grateful he ended up confronting Justin, or they might have never figured out the truth.

Justin may be the younger of the two men, but he is determined to make Eric understand that this is irrelevant where their love for each other is concerned. He may (grudgingly) be grateful that he went away when Eric told him to get on with his life, since this mean he now has a better job. But that in no way means he doesn’t want to pick up where they left off two years ago. And if he has to resort to a little subterfuge to get there—so be it.

If you like stories set in New Zealand, if you enjoy reading about men with an age different between them, and if you’re looking for an entertaining read about two guys finding love against the odds, then you will probably like this short story.
