Rainbow Book Reviews
Some relationships just aren’t meant to be. In Drew and Mark’s case it’s even worse – Drew has felt his love to be one-sided for a while, but he couldn’t tear himself away. When Mark finally leaves, taking most of the furniture, Drew feels bereft, but he isn’t devastated. That is probably the reason why the very attractive, and much younger removal man, Andy, catches his attention so quickly. Emotionally, Drew is ready to move on, but he and Andy have a few issues to deal with first. In a story that is true to life, touching, and very hot, ‘With the Removal Man” shows how virtual strangers can sometimes hit it off better than men who have lived together for years. Drew may be ready to admit it is time to let go of Mark, but his self-confidence is not where it used to be, and he is a lot older now than when he first got together with his now-ex. He quickly finds out that falling in lust with the hot removal man is easy, but even though he has been disappointed by love, he doesn’t want a one-night stand. He wants more from Andy, but his age may be in the way. It was clear to me that was the least of his problems, but it took Drew a little longer to figure it out. Andy falls for Drew with frightening speed, but he isn’t blinded enough to overlook the potential issues. Nasty ex-boyfriend who goes after Andy the first chance he has. Drew possibly on the rebound. An age difference that makes Andy wonder if he can be enough for Drew. Despite all that, his feelings are intense and he is determined to give it a try. Ah, the optimism of youth! If you like stories about men who meet and fall in lust right away, if you want to watch two of them work out the basis for a relationship outside of that lust, obstacles and all, and if you’re looking for an entertaining read that is funny and hot at the same time, then you might like this novella.
