Buchanan House (Buchanan House, #1) by Charley Descoteaux
Enjoyable story with very detailed characters. All the tears Eric shed along with his lack of self confidence got annoying at times but he was pretty messed up by his family. The primary thrust of the story was the character development which could be why some people did not like the story.

Better Than New by Charley Descoteaux
1.5 star

This didn't work for me.

I couldn't connect with the MCs, their manners in relation to the approximate age that's assumed they have and their circumstances are hard to believe.. And the sexual tension tends to zero, I don't see a crescendo in their relationship..

Ultimately this story didn't turn out to be evocative to me, but dull.

Better Than New by Charley Descoteaux
Better Than New was written for Goodread’s M/M Romance Group’s 2014 Love’s Landscapes event. The story is told in first person through the eyes of Theo, a young man who lost a leg and is very self-conscious about it. Theo has a crush on Ben, who is the owner of the coffee shop where this story mostly takes place.

This is a fast, easy, sweet read showing the readers Theo’s, and Ben’s, personalities as they get to know each other, and how they finally get together. The prompt was worked into the story, but wasn’t as obvious as I thought it would be.

I give this 3 Stars
