RevieWednesday

Wow, I finally read something I can review! (as opposed to author submissions I can't talk about until they are released, that is...)

Today's review is for Say It Again, by Jasmine Black.

This is a m/m romance (m/m means it's 2 dudes, so if that's not your cuppa tea, then, well... this might not be your cuppa tea) about a fireman --yum--who has just come out, and his first romance as a gay guy. Gay factor aside, we can all relate to the conflict: he's been totally crushing on someone for ages, someone who he imagines is completely out of his reach (the crush is crazy-rich). And of course, that someone has no idea he's crushing on him. This is a well-written novella--an hour of reading, max, with characters who have realistic conflicts and some deep emotional issues. The guys both do some totally frustrating, totally guy-like things, which made it seem all the more real to me, and also made me wonder how two dudes ever communicate well enough to have a lasting relationship. LOL Huge kudos to guys in longterm relationships with other guys. They've clearly overcome a lot!

I rate this novella a Keeper (see legend at lower right). It's a fun, fast read with a rewardingly happy ending.
