The Men of Marionville #6
Leather Jackets
Jude Thatcher needs a life fix. He walked away from a serious love affair, lost the job he worked years to get, and his severance pay is dwindling. A little dancing is in order to help clear his head, so Jude takes a stroll to the local nightclub and gets a surprise.
Wynn DeRocher's talent and ambition catapulted his band to the top of the charts, but he paid a steep price to achieve success. He needs a flesh-and-blood man, one who understands the demands of his music. He needs the man he let get away—Jude Thatcher.
Wynn pitches a proposal—a lucrative job modeling the band's new line of logo'd clothing. Jude accepts but both men know it’ll take more than fancy dinners and limo rides to convince Jude to risk his heart again.
To covet might be a sin, but Jude needs a gesture of good faith. And he wants Wynn’s leather jacket as much as he wants Wynn. Almost...

Through the Years With Angst and Hope,
One look at that cover is all it took for me to get this one, and believe me, even if you are not inclined to wear, like, or cuddle up to leather, this outfit is well worth trying on.
Jude Thatcher is out of a job, almost out of money, and almost desperate. A native of Marionville, he returns after all that and a broken love affair and decides to stumble into the town's best gay bar one night, not knowing why the crowd outside is so huge and trying to get in. After one of his buddies spots him and gets him past the bouncer, Jude finds the reason for the crowd: Wynn De Rocher, superstar recording artist and the man who broke Jude's heart more than a decade ago. He is giving a concert that has a few hidden agendas, not the least of which might be dressing Jude in that style that appears on the cover (I would gather it's Jude, not Wynn, but that's immaterial).
Here we have the fastest moving, most deeply probing, and almost most duplicitous book in this series, but also one of the hottest and heartbreaking. There are secrets revealed, lies to undo and hearts to be mended--all with the help of the Marionville's now pseudo Greek chorus of resident gay movers and shakers--that you can't help but feel that whatever way it ends, it won't be like in a fairy tale.
Well, at least not that kind of fairy tale. This one is special.

They have a past that didn't end well. But as the reconnection they have to work through the past and decide what needs to be left in the past. But of course they end up jumping to the new relationship part and include a whole work component as well. But it looks like things are headed in a good direction for them.

This novella was a bit to undeveloped and short for my liking. The main plot was about rekindling, lost romance between Wynn and Jude.
