My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a story about Courtland and Buzz, lifelong best friends who enter into a fake marriage after Courtland inherits an inn, bringing their long-suppressed romantic feelings to a head amidst new family secrets. Courtland has been in love with Buzz for fifteen years but has repeatedly let life and family crises get in the way of confessing his feelings. After returning home, he inherits his grandfather's inn with the condition that he gets married and stays in town for six months. Buzz, who loves the inn, offers to be his fake husband. Now married and living together, Courtland is determined to finally confess, but a shocking new family secret threatens to complicate things further. Buzz has always felt accepted only by Courtland, especially after a history of partners leaving him for being too "needy." Despite enjoying the unexpected "benefits" of their fake marriage, he views it as temporary, believing Courtland will inevitably return to his career in Boston. He fears letting himself hope for a future with Courtland, as the arrangement has a clear "end date."
I enjoyed this story with the two men who were drawn together but over time had lost the easier communication they had when they were children. I initially loved this story but as it dragged on I started to become frustrated with the two men and their relationship with the will he or won't he talk to him. I did love the way that they were described and the detail of the descriptions of the places, people, emotions and feelings which were easy to understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
