BLURB:
For six
years, Rex Payton has focused on two things: keeping his late father’s
small-town Kentucky bar afloat and raising his nephew, Tyler. After the tragic
loss of his parents and sister, Rex has no interest in romance. He’s respected
in his community and regarded as one of Carlisle’s most eligible bachelors, but
he’s accepted that his life isn’t conducive to a romantic relationship,
especially as a closeted gay man.
Enter Josh
Billings, a veterinary student who’s serving an internship in town. Josh’s
deepest passion is helping animals. Romance is the furthest thing from his
mind… until the night he meets taciturn, handsome Rex Payton. Chance and an
after-hours dance conspire to forge an intimate connection neither man looked
for—one neither man can ignore after the dance leads to a kiss.
Suddenly
romance isn’t so insignificant, but it’s also not without complications. For
this relationship to work, Josh has to decide if he can cope with dating a
single dad, Rex has to open his heart, and Ty has to learn to share his dad’s
affection.
REVIEW:
Romance,
tragedy and family dram all mix to form a complete picture of two incredible
men and a young boy who become a family.
I’ve reviewed Jeff Erno’s work before to great pleasure and this was no
exception. Erno captures all the heart
and wonder of being a parent and a partner in the pages of his amazing new
novel.
The heart of
the book is Ty, the six year old nephew of Rex and the struggles that
homophobia and hate bring out in people who don’t see gay men as suitable
parents, or in some states, suitable human beings. When Rex meets Josh, things build quickly
into an erotic, romantic, and sometimes sad and upsetting mix and won’t leave
you without having touched your heart and, if you’re like me, brought a tear to
your eye.
This is what
being gay men and parents is all about.
Outstanding work!
