My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a story about Jeremy, who is determined not to fall for a straight man, and Declan, the attractive but seemingly shy friend of Jeremy's brother. Jeremy hires Declan to do renovations on his house as a favor to his brother. He is immediately struck by Declan's good looks, but is put off by the man's extreme shyness, which he wrongly interprets as homophobia. As the renovations finish, Jeremy is ready to write off Declan and forget their attraction. However, his brother intervenes, suggesting that their story isn't over. The story sets up a situation where Jeremy's assumption about Declan might be wrong, and their relationship is complicated by outside interference.
This was a sweet novella where with initial misunderstandings about sexuality were eventually cleared up and the two men were able to explore a relationship with each other. Declan seemed to be too good a person which made things feel sickly sweet and we were missing much story to prove their compatibility except for sex. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
