This book has the opposite problem, however. The books end up being a rumination on how women want their M/M romances to be and less about how a M/M romance actually works, sort of how lesbian pornography is mostly marketed toward straight men.

For example, the GFY stories which are borderline offensive or the trope of the bisexual who 'thought he was straight' until he realized he was in love with his best friend's cute brother, which, I'm sorry to say, rarely happens. and our two guys get the chance to work out what we all knew was going to happen along.The issue that I have as a gay man reading M/M fiction mostly written by straight women is that although a lot of stories are lovely, others are full of tropes that ring false. These events provide the set-up for a disturbing, but cleansing and healing, in the end. There is a mystery here as well that involves the disappearance of two young men in the area where Evertt had his car crash/ghost spotting. I just wanted to glue them together and lock them in a room. These two spend almost the remainder of the book dancing around each other.

He is a commitment-phobe whose first encounter with Everett sets the stomach and other parts rumbling and roiling and which eventually drives him into something that can certainly be described as more than lust. Silas has his flaws and troubles to conquer also. Everett is trying to get control over his new life as well as that of his grandfather Henry (Hen) who is humorously cantankerous, and nothing like Everett remembers him but then Everett had only been 9-years old at their last meeting. To say these two are complicated would be a major understatement. Now we have our two main characters that were not very charmed by one another.yet. He wrecks the car when he thinks his seen a ghost in the road, and was rescued by Police Chief, Silas Sloane who is loved by almost the entire little town. It didn't appear that he was very excited to be doing this, but his overwhelming, and demanding mother made the case that he would be perfect for this task. Everett is on his way to O'Leary, New York to help his grandfather who had recently broken his leg. First, we meet Everett Maior, an art teacher that had two-years ago, lost his husband of nine years. Not that that's true by any means, but it's usually how the story goes. I have not had much love for M/M romances that are set in small towns since most of them present the townsfolks as homeomorphic and not particularly open minded. Not only was it the first book that I had read by May Archer, but the setting was a smalltown in New York.

At first, I wasn't at all sure about this book.
