*****


Bonnie met Matt in her coffee shop. She immediately becomes his lover but has only one problem. Matt is also lovers with Sean. After a long while during the new year the three finally meet and ring in the new year the right way.

This is a well done short. It is well paced and the story is not too much for the short page count. The manage element is also well done with the bisexual element.

*****

Wyatt cannot produce an album to save his soul. He has lost his inspiration for love songs. In comes Bryce his old touring mate who might be able to teach him about love songs and love itself.
The record company just might have played cupid for this new year romance if Wyatt can give up his no string attached attitude toward love.

This is well done. There is a perfect mix of sentiment and sensuality. The pair of men are well developed and the story has just enough in it to be balanced.

****1/2

Theo had a car fall on him and is lacking his zest for life. He can no longer smell or taste. In walks Jude into the diner and into Theo's life. Along the shared ride to New York they make a connection niether will forget.

This was a well done story. The pacing was perfect and the story itself was touching. Perhaps the best feature of it was the randomness of the reunion. As a fortune teller myself the tarot reader got me. It seems the only part that I could have done without is the part where he meets up with his ex and is all happy.
