I think after the first book I have come more to terms with how Michael and Jazz think and what drives them. I just can’t understand why the men in these books are always eaten alive by their pasts and not concentrating on the good things they could have in their futures. Anyway...the sheriff is becoming one of the best characters in this series. He is a hoot! The mysteries in the first book as well as in this one are very good. This one had a surprising end and kept me reading. I finished show more it in one sitting which isn’t unusual but I usually try to drag it out with characters that I really like. show less
I had never read anything by this author but when I dug around in my “treasure chest” of books, I see my two friends have several of his books including the next in this series. I liked the characters and the plot but the title is a tad misleading and there were parts where I became a bit bored waiting for the action to go on and less talk. I can say that it often made me laugh and sometimes there were elements of slapstick comedy in the midst of dramatic and/or dire situations. That show more took some getting used to. Overall, it was a fun read. Rather like watching an old 1930's comedy murder mystery movie. Will certainly go on to book #2 in the series. Oh...and Mr. Pickles Furryton, the Third... was simple adorable. (Meow) show less
A hotel room with an overactive heater. A rising star struggling to write a Christmas song. Song lyrics written in secret. Will Johnson is shocked to discover his hotel room window overlooks the courtyard patio of one of his favorite gay singers, Rex Garland. Even more amazing, Rex seems interested in Will too. When Will overhears Rex struggling to write an original Christmas song, he is struck by a flash of inspiration and drafts an anonymous note with song lyrics. Will is sure nothing will show more come of it, but the Christmas magic swirling amidst all the snow in upstate New York is about to change both their lives forever.
This funny, sweet, and heart-warming love story about a boy-next-door and the celebrity of his dreams is set in the Williamsville Inn world.
This little gem could be described as a "gay Hallmark movie". There are some hijinks, but no drama, and it all ends with a kiss. It's a perfectly sweet, but too short little story, as are all the stories in this series written by different M/M Romance authors. Like all of this series that I have thus far read, I so wished there had been more to it. The 4.5 stars is simply for the length of the story, not any way about the story itself; and certainly NOT in any way, about this author's writing.
The two main characters didn’t have much time to really have a conversation until about halfway into it... and it made the ending seemed a bit rushed. There could have maybe been less time spent on the guy's individual insecurities and more on them getting to know one another.
Overall, I have read several things by this author before, so I wasn't at all surprised that the story was very well written, no real drama and that was more than okay. I really loved the last few pages. It would have been nice if we could have seen the famous singer appearing more in public.... but for what it was, it was a good little addition to the Williamsville Inn series. So far, I have found that all the stories in this series have a happy ending for the two main characters. show less

PWPPH = Porn with plot plus humor.
There is a lot of sex in these books, but surrounding that is a great yarn.
I enjoyed reading “Vancouver Nights” as much as I did the other two in the series. By page seven, I had done enough laughing to justify buying the book and what was even better, the laughs continued right to the last page. Unusual in comedic books that often fizzle out half way through.
Here the sex makes a welcome break to the comedy and vice versa.
You don’t have to have read show more the previous two books about Charlie Heggensford to enjoy VN. In fact if you come across this one first, you can still enjoy reading them afterwards. In each book Hank has added to his great cast of characters. They come in all shapes, sizes – each an unforgettable addition to the team who work for Fluffers Inc.
Hank introduces a new character here, Ming Ho. Her intro in the first chapter in an almost slapstick routine sets the tone for the rest of the book.
To give Charlie a fresh, fertile field to play on, Hank manoeuvres him out of town and away from his work as a fluffer by having him inadvertently cause a strike in the porn industry. He is aghast to watch on the news as the porn stars:
He escapes the scene by travelling up to Vancouver with another great new cast member: Canyon Collingwood, the four and a half foot truck driver who gives Charlie a ride in his truck. Sex with dolls takes on a whole new meaning with him.
Throughout it all, Charlie is the same good natured country boy he was when we first met him two books ago. He puts his foot in his mouth regularly:
Hank also includes all sorts of good medical advice like when Charlie gets hives from Endora the cat:
Inevitably, Charlie runs into the bane of his life, Cedric Wilmington:
The story has balls of every size. Sex in every position and location. While Charlie might be your average Idaho farm boy, the guys he has very vigorous encounters with are anything but average.
In the course of the story, Charlie manages to take a nose dive into a barrel of severed hands, trip over a rotten step and end up flat on his back (a position he rarely finds himself in – too vanilla) he collides with a pole, and numerous other solid objects, get hives and has hamster shit smeared all over his face and later is covered in even worse excrement. So if even reading about animal faecal matter turns you off, just skip that bit.
There is always something new, something different around the corner you just have to keep turning the pages to see what other misadventures will befall our hapless hero including an unusual way to get drunk on champagne and escape from bound wrists in a hostage situation.
Throughout there are sentences, situations and characters to amuse. I liked this one:
This is a story where you don’t have to be beautiful to star. Yes there are hot bods, but more than that, the characters have personality. They have life.
His scenes also are very vivid. I asked Hank a few questions by email and will include these in an interview on my blog: http://www.abgayle.com/1/post/2010/12/vancouver-nights-hank-edwards.html
If you’re tired of reading the same old, same old and feel in need of a laugh while being entertained by a lively plot and enough kinky sex to keep the most jaded satisfied, do yourself a favour.... show less

To give Charlie a fresh, fertile field to play on, Hank manoeuvres him out of town and away from his work as a fluffer by having him inadvertently cause a strike in the porn industry. He is aghast to watch on the news as the porn stars:
” carried picket signs and shouted, “Hell no, we won’t blow!” as they moved gracefully within their tight bike shorts and form fitted T-shirts and tank tops. Some of the signs read “Porn Stars Are People Too,” “We Don’t Get Paid, They Don’t Get Laid,” and “Porn Stars CAN Say NO!”Charlie has a reputation for courting disaster. If he’s not being a tad too enthusiastic in keeping a porn star hard for his next sex scene, he’s getting into all sorts of other mischief. He doesn’t go looking for trouble, trouble finds him.
He escapes the scene by travelling up to Vancouver with another great new cast member: Canyon Collingwood, the four and a half foot truck driver who gives Charlie a ride in his truck. Sex with dolls takes on a whole new meaning with him.
Throughout it all, Charlie is the same good natured country boy he was when we first met him two books ago. He puts his foot in his mouth regularly:
“It’s always good to have someone similar to you in your life. It helps me feel less abnormal.”That of course is when he doesn’t have something more solid in there; something he can really suck on.
Hank also includes all sorts of good medical advice like when Charlie gets hives from Endora the cat:
“How ‘bout a blow job?” Brent asked, leaning in the bathroom doorframe with his beefy arms crossed over his bare, hairy chest. “Would that help clear your sinuses?”As far as Charlie is concerned a BJ cures everything.
Inevitably, Charlie runs into the bane of his life, Cedric Wilmington:
He did not want to be anywhere near Cedric ever again, he was an evil, lying, conniving bitch who had hated him on sight. Well, maybe because Charlie had just finished sucking off Rock Harding, Cedric’s lover at the time, but that had been an honest mistake!Poor Charlie, he’s pining for Rock and his nine inch dick, but in the meantime he’s happy to have sex with whoever takes his fancy, or should I say pants.

“Never underestimate the power of a lesbian on a sports team.”You just had to be there, though to really appreciate it.
