Not only is this cool handicapped rep, and a very sweet romance over time, but the sex is implied rather than detailed, (after hundreds of romances I find that refreshing!), and the ending is beautiful, like capturing a perfect image of a firework at the peak of its burst. And I adored the stepmom! Isn't the brain a fascinating thing - how it can handle the two aspects of language, creating it (speaking & writing) and understanding it (hearing & reading) in completely different ways. I wasn't really sure about how the story could work with one character unable to "create" language and yet it did. Very, very well! no reviews | add a review

Travis Miller has a machining job, a cat named Elwood, and a pathetic love life. The one bright spot in his existence is the handsome guitar player he sometimes passes on his way home from work. But when he finally gathers the courage to speak to the man, Travis learns that former novelist Drew Clifton suffers from aphasia: Drew can understand everything Travis says, but he is unable to speak or write. The two lonely men form a friendship that soon blossoms into romance. But communication is only one of their challenges--there's also Travis's inexperience with love and his precarious financial situation. If words are the bridge between two people, what will keep them together? Third Place (Tie): Best LGBT Cover No library descriptions found. |
