My rating: 4 of 5 stars
When Sam rode his bike into Aster Valley, it was supposed to be temporary. A quick, relaxing visit with friends. No entanglements. Zero drama. But then he saw the bumblebee being harassed on the side of the highway. More specifically, he saw Truman Sweet, Aster Valley’s resident botanist, spice merchant, and bee-costume enthusiast, being harassed. And the second he got involved, all his plans for a quick departure scattered like pollen on the breeze. It turns out that Truman—adorkably shy, relentlessly sunshiny, hot as all heck, reluctantly-still-a-virgin Truman - has secrets. Secrets someone in this charming small town doesn’t want brought to light. Secrets that rouse every one of my protective instincts just as surely as his kisses rouses other parts of Sam. Sam will do whatever it takes to protect Truman from the dangers in his past, but after a lifetime of loneliness and disappointment, how can he possibly convince him to trust him with his future?
I loved this story but it also made me very sad that the town was so rotten and that Truman was so badly treated by so many people as well as his parents. I was pleased that he had an aunt and friends who were on his side. Sam was a conundrum as he defended Truman yet was happy for years to take the way that his family drained him emotionally and financially. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
