Andy Blom is an unpaid winter intern at The Ashe Sentinel, and right away he gets saddled with an “evergreen” – otherwise known as a boring feature that can run anytime over the holiday season. To his dismay, he’s assigned to write about a construction worker who creates metal art. The story wouldn’t be so bad, but he’s uneasy about meeting a macho guy who will no doubt find Andy just a little too … gay. Even if he is in the (fairly transparent) closet. But as it turns out, Lane Cross isn’t what he expects. In fact, Lane is a man of many contradictions, not the least of which is that a man like him could want Andy.

Lane Cross works construction to pay the bills, and makes metal art to … also pay the bills. As a single dad, the enjoyment of his art has taken a backseat to making ends meet. And his love life has taken a back seat to caring for his son, especially when Zach, age 6, sabotages every baby-sitting attempt Lane makes.

Then Lane meets Andy Blom. The man’s Swedish name meaning bloom is perfect for him: Andy is refreshingly sweet and vibrant – even if he gets a bit thorny at any hint that he’s anything but strong and self-reliant. And Zach loves him, which only intensifies the attraction. But when Lane moves too fast, will he scare away the surprisingly innocent young man – or will Andy’s journalistic ethics end them before they ever begin?

"Winter Blom," a holiday novella, is the fourth book in the Ashe Sentinel series. There are very minor spoilers if you read it before the others. However, it can be read as a stand-alone.

Frustrating characters (SPOILERS)

February 14, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have read the 3 previous books in this series, and while each one may have had a few quirks I wasn't too keen on, I can confidently say that I liked this one the least. Or at least the characters. Andy would go from shy, to easily irritated by half of everything Lane does or says, to wanting to take things slow, to talking dirty by phone and wanting to touch & make out. And I have a question about the conflict in the story: Andy bought Zach a brand new Winnie the Pooh book from the mall. Pooh books (Pooh anything) can be a bit pricey. Andy was an unpaid intern. Did it really make sense for him to buy this gift for a kid he'd just met, when he himself had been eating PB&J for days in a row? As for Lane, I was very confused by his work schedule, as I have never heard of a construction worker having such odd working hours, often needing to go in during the evenings and/or at a moment's notice. He was constantly having to get babysitters for his 6 year old son. Was it not possible to request daytime only hours to coincide with his son going to school? And speaking of which, at 6 years old, you have to be in school. Why was this kid never doing any homework, but instead constantly playing videogames? And then couldn't even read an easy name on a gift tag? And when Lane needed to talk to Andy, he'd just tell his son to go watch TV.

Lane said it never occurred to him that his son could still be grieving. I could see that. But the fact that he allowed this kid to do whatever, whenever, with no punishment or retribution, there's no excuse for that. The kid talked back not only to babysitters, but to Lane & Andy as well, even raising his voice. When Andy slept on the couch, Zach climbed up and sat on him (and he knew!), watching TV and eating cereal. And the increasing violence and anger (he shoved 1 babysitter & screamed at her, the next time he picked up a shovel and bust a window) was a mess. Apparently his mother seemed to suffer from a possibly undiagnosed mental health problem - based on conversation in the book - perhaps this was the issue with Zach. Maybe his behavior wasn't his fault, but at 6 years old always getting his way was not the way to handle it. What I didn't really like about Lane was that he seemed desperate (calling coworkers to get Andy's address, popping up at his apartment, popping up at his job) and jealous (constantly asking who his roommate was, asking who he was at the bar with). Keep in mind that from beginning to end, including sleeping together, announcing their relationship to Zach, and exchanging "I love you's" all happened in a span of 2-3 weeks. His behavior didn't come off as romantic, it came off as possessive. A couple of characters from previous books make an appearance (Was Cat always that obnoxious? Why is Archer still dating other people when he has a BF now?). I liked them more than the MCs of this story.

Definitely a Great Read.

This books was very good and funny. I don't know if this is a one off or she has matured as a writer. I originally first read her Red Dust Heart which was really boring, angsty, but boring and no humor so I wrote her off. I noticed that TWOTW was on sale and thought I give her another chance and I was pleasantly surprised. It is a very sweet romance and for a change its the hot guy, Reed chasing the fluffy one, Henry. Yeah, I luv me some Gabriel Iglesias the comedian. Henry had a wicked sense of humor and that's all on the writer. I really enjoy the book so much because it is so sweet and funny that I'm reading it again. It's that good. I highly recommend it.

Easy - Enjoyable Read

March 2, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

First book by this author and again I did not start the series from the beginning but it did not diminish the pleasure I got. The writing is a bit quirky, subtle humor and honest characters. Am finding a general theme in the M2M books I have read but it doesn't distract from the enjoyment. It actually reminded me of the movie "Sleepless in Seattle" (a favorite) . Have no negative comments to make.

The writing here is excellent it was a book it was very easy to get into and read straight through with no problem. The character s seem to draw you in. Many times I have problems getting involved enough with the characters to the store to be interesting but this was not the case here.

A Quick Read & a Delightful Holiday Tale

January 3, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I really enjoyed this story. It was a sweet romance between two adorable guys. The setup is a little cheesy, but the overall story is quite good. The characters have depth to them (including minor characters). The setting of the newspaper office is quite clever, and I went looking for other stories by the author when I finished this one.

I particularly liked the way the author handled the very real grief of the little boy in the story. He was as much a main character as the love interests were as opposed to being a prop for the story which can often happen in this genre.

Overall, it was a quick read and a delightful holiday pick-me-up.

An interesting storyline with interesting characters. The many ways of handling grief, a husband, a small child, some not so young and the place that they cross. I should have started ready with book #1.

A cute story, reasonably believable, and the characters are sympathetic. The author actually managed to introduce tension into a sweet story, something that's difficult to do.

It was a heartwarming story. The addition of Zach made it more than a steamy romance.
