Some wounds never heal. George Zajac grew up in a religious family with a father who beat “the swish” out of him. At thirty-eight he's a troubled man. Escaping his miserable life as a banker in New York, he moves across the country to start again in Los Angeles as the catering chef for a prestigious French Restaurant. Kenny Marks, a writer who’s currently waiting tables, is everything George cannot be—flamboyant, proud and sexually confident. Enthralled by Kenny, and against his own better judgment, George agrees to a date. Sparks fly. The sex is amazing. But even after the two get close, George is crippled by humiliating sexual hang-ups. Still haunted by his childhood, he lingers in the closet and can’t commit to a relationship with Kenny.
Love is the great healer, but is it enough? George’s emotional scars could drive Kenny away, and with him, George’s last chance at happiness.
This story was previously published by Loose Id Press in 2013

NYC 2002: On George Zajac's 35th birthday, he started the day at his investment banker job and by the afternoon, deciding his whole life was a fraud, quit his job, went home to leave his wife ... and decided to become a chef. Fast-forward to L.A. 2005 where George is the newly-hired catering chef for a snobby French restaurant and Kenny Marks, screenwriter/playwright/waiter extraordinaire, has caught his eye. And what's not to love with Kenny's spiky blonde hair, big smile and out-and-proud exuberance and sexual confidence?Despite his total reboot at 35, George has very deep troubling issues, and my heart just ached for him: "I grew up miserable in the middle of cornfields. I’d felt so f@cking isolated. I vowed that as soon as I could escape, I’d live in places where there’d always be someone who could hear me if I screamed. [...] It had taken a long time for me to get there, safe, single, and unknown. So what if I was lonely? Everything had its price."
Kenny asks George out and he agrees, only to panic after a night of hot man sex, deciding the only thing he needs is "a regular f@ck buddy who could deal with my sexual weirdness without getting too rough." George offers up a friends-with-benefit situation which Kenny agrees to. But eventually Kenny tells George “That’s not a kink, honey. It’s a sickness. Maybe you should see someone, like a therapist.”
George's recovery and rebirth is not a short process, with the book spanning 8 years from start to finish before George and Kenny get a beautifully fitting HEA. The book is only 144 pages but it has a depth and strength that belies its brevity and this story held my interest every step of the way. In fact, I devoured it in one sitting. I highly recommend this book!
"It didn’t matter how long it took me; I would learn a different way of loving. Because I wanted that, wanted to feel whole and loved, to love someone. No, not someone—to love a man, with my whole heart and body. Kenny’d been right. It wasn’t a kink. It was a wound, and wounds heal."
I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

George is a gay man who is hiding from the whole world. Abused as a child by his father when his father found a playful magazine under his bed George wouldn't even admit that he was gay. At the breakup of his marriage to a female he relocated to Los Angeles where he met Kenny who is openly gay. They start a sexual relationship but George doesn't want it to go beyond friends with benefits
So without too many spoilers, here are some random quotes I highlighted while reading this book
"I rummaged in my closet, looking for clothes I didn't own, clothes that would make me look hip and sexy."
"Catering in private homes was like committing the perfect crime - we erased all evidence that we'd been there."
It's written in the first person, which is something I don't love, but it worked here. I liked the world of catering/cooking. I liked Kenny and I really felt for George. He had a traumatic background and was trying to become the adult he wanted to be, the one who deserved and returned love - as we all are...
