Unexpected Sparks

This was a sweet and different piece with something to say about how many times we don't see the good stuff that's in front of us for the flash across the road. Alex is blind to the fact that his best friend and roommate Sam loves him in more than a friendly way and that he's also an awesome guy until he gets knocked-up by the in-your-face sexy Gerome.

The whole book is Sam having Alex's back in his moment(s) of need and the two slowly but surely coming together. The whole male-pregnancy issue being illegal adds a frisson of anxiety and danger to the situation and the ending, while a cliffhanger, is satisfying as far as the Sam & Alex goes.

I'll probably continue the series as it was intriguing. It just didn't have me racing to One-Click parts 2 & 3. But I'll get to them.

* One quibble is that the phrasing is sometimes odd which I later figured out is because I believe the author is German and hence American or even British English doesn't seem to be his first language. It's not distracting just slightly off. Kind of like reading a translation but I was cool with it.

man it started off so good :-(
