Liam Luckett is on an adventure. He's dropped out of his master's program without telling his overbearing parents and set off on a road trip across the country. Armed with little more than his guitar, he's looking for his best life. He never expected his car to break down in the middle of nowhere Vermont with a huge storm pending, leaving him stranded and at the mercy of a hunky local mechanic.



Jasper Cunningham is in a holding pattern. Three years after the death of his husband, he still hasn't moved on. A hot, younger stranded tourist is exactly the sort of complication this mechanic has been avoiding. But he also can't leave him in the snow. He brings Liam home and lets him sleep on the couch. The air is heavy with more than snow, and when the power goes out, the two men become closer than either of them expects.



Every silken note Liam sings on that guitar thaws Jasper's heart a little. Suddenly, Liam's itchy feet aren't so eager to move on. When their feelings get too big to ignore, the bond they've formed is tested. Will daybreak leave them going their separate ways?

This is a may/ december story about finding your joy (again). Jasper has to dare to love again after losing his partner. Liam has to find the strength to be his own person and not who his family wants him to be. This story jas a hra/hfn.

Be your own man.

Great narration of a subpar story. A cute little romance doesn’t need to be high-brow or even complex to entertain. But some semblance of plot beyond ‘they fall in love’ - ‘they feel conflicted about it’ - ‘they end up together’ would be nice.

bland and predictable

This story follows a very familiar trope in the M/M genre - grieving loner meets and gives shelter to a young traveler after a car mishap, both have angsty backstories, they fall for each other...oh, and there's always a dog! I'd say this story needed more development. There's not one female character in the whole book - there is the mention of Liam's mother, but never a scene with her, that's about it. There are no female servers at Vino and Veritas and Jasper knows only three people in his small town, even though he's lived there all his life and had a 'life' before his husband passed. The town/bar needed to be fleshed out as it seems like there were only the people who were mentioned in there - no mention of crowds in the bar, side characters to balance the book. The narration was, as expected, amazing with two such stellar narrators - but, I wonder why this was a dual narration when their voices are so similar and one man could have performed both characters.

Not one female character in the whole story?
