There were a few times when I felt that lovely heart-achy-pain of wanting to get in the book and sort these two men out !!! Life is messy, and these two characters are no exception to that. He’s great at expressing what he needs/wants and I really felt the emotion when he found out that Luke reciprocated his interest.īoth these characters are sheltered in their own way… one because he is working from home all the time and has fallen away from the social life he had before he moved, the other because it’s challenging to know that someone is interested enough in him to see past his disability.Īlthough this is a short piece of work, there’s a lot of emotion packed into it. He doesn’t dwell on the fact that his life is “different” from some people’s. He was born with Spina bifida and is in a wheelchair. I loved this premise! I thought the idea of someone creating a special message hidden in a puzzle was lovely and romantic.Īlex, the man behind the crossword puzzle is a great character. He hikes with his dog most mornings and returns home one day to find a newspaper with a crossword puzzle in it… with a hidden personalized message. Luke is a game designer who works from home. My thoughts bit: This book was a lot of fun.
Just the facts: M/M contemporary romance novella, a character with a disability, gay characters, fun, and a dog!Ī fun, witty, heart-achey romance between two hot nerds. And, most puzzling of all, how do you know if love is real?
When Luke decodes them, romance begins, but then they face greater puzzles, like Alex’s interfering sister and what commitment to a man in a wheelchair really takes.
His solution? Secret messages for Luke in the crosswords he writes for the local paper. Alex’s options are limited: he’s too shy to approach Luke and his wheelchair won’t let him follow into the woods. The watcher is Alex Shaw, and he too works from home, designing logic and crossword puzzles. Every day he walks his dog in the woods nearby, never suspecting that someone who is completely smitten is watching. The Official Description: Luke Schumaker designs computer games, working from his home.
