A Good Idea
Take two men who think the best years of their lives are behind them. Throw in one raging attraction, and stir liberally. Giving in to a mutual case of lust could be the best idea either one ever had.
Daniel Haversohn is stuck in a rut, and he knows it. The kids are grown and gone, he’s years past being ‘over the hill’, and the only excitement he gets these days comes from the occasional argument with a supplier. Owning a bar keeps him busy enough, but each night he has to go home to a cold and lonely house. Enter Joe Masterson.
Joe has known Daniel for longer than he cares to remember, but the military was his life. Now, after twenty-five years of active service, he’s a free man again. And he hates it. When Joe goes to his favourite bar to drown his sorrows, Daniel sees him moping and offers him a job. Tending bar is definitely a downward career move, but Joe is just bored enough to take it. The problem? Leaving the army behind must have knocked something loose in his libido, because he can’t stop staring at his boss’ arse. Now Joe has to decide if he can throw aside a lifetime of training for one moment of passion. And, just maybe, something deeper.

I was starting to like the story and then it just stopped. I hate when authors to that with stories.

Good start to things, and likable characters, and then it just ends! Would have loved to read more.

Yes, it was short and it stopped rather abruptly, but overall I really liked it. I wouldn't mind visiting them again.

Developing nicely and then stops abruptly. Too short but still worth reading.

The awkwardness between these two older men is actually cute and entirely believable. Neither of them is really comfortable being in a real relationship considering their combined dating history is basically zilch. But they’re so comfortable as friends it allows them to laugh through any embarrassing moments.

A short but pacy read. Definitely can see more story development for the characters, as it does feel like it ends mid story.
Daniel and Joe have been friends for years. Now is the time when both their lives coincide with opportunity, and Daniel takes that chance! Joe has to allow himslef to go for it after years of hiding for DADT. When they do get it on, they get it on!

So. The book ends at 85%. I hate that!!
I just needed a whole lot more. I wanted to know more about these guys. How they came to this point in life.
It wasn't bad, I just didn't get the rushed connection with them.
I was kind of hoping for more of a slow burn friends to lovers.
