Jenna Byrnes could use more cabinet space and more hours in a day. She’d fill the kitchen with gadgets her husband purchases off TV and let him cook for her to his heart’s content. She’d breeze through the days adding hours of sleep, and more time for writing the hot, erotic romance she loves to read.
Jenna thinks everyone deserves a happy ending, and loves to provide as many of those as possible to her gay, lesbian and hetero characters. Her favorite quote, from a pro-gay billboard, is “Be careful who you hate. It may be someone you love.”
Months after leaving his ex and the abuse behind, Sky still has nightmares remembering Duke telling him "No one will ever love you as much as I do." Yeah, Duke "loved" him so much he took domestic violence to a whole new level, and, one night, he broke Sky's shoulder. Duke is in prison, but Sky can't forget, or let it go. He has moved to Colorado now, and is living with his cousin, who also helped him get a job at a bike shop. It's Billy who encourages Sky to take a weekend ride with his bike club, the Rebel Riders MC, and where Sky meets Task. It is, most definitely, lust at first sight between the two men.
Sky is the happiest he's ever been with Task. It doesn't take long before they've fallen in love. Unfortunately, Sky finds out Duke got out of jail on a technicality, and he's looking for Sky. It's time for Sky to trust in Task, and the man he is, and share his secrets. And it's way past time for Sky to get rid of his past, and look toward his future. There's only one thing standing in his way, and Sky needs to deal with Duke, and be done with him.
A good beginning to the anthology, 'Clear Blue Sky' showed what you can accomplish when you trust in the one you love, and when you learn to forgive yourself for past decisions. I really liked Sky and Task, and the story was a sexy read. Thank you, Jenna.
NOTE: The anthology this story was published in has been provided by Totally Bound Publishing for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews.
Felt a bit rushed in places, fast build, conveniently easy outcome with sky's ex, abrupt ending and thoughts and dialogue that at times made me question whether it had actually come from a grown man. It's not a keeper but was an okay way to kill time while making dinner.
Really liked this one, but left so many things left unanswered. Would have like to see story wrapped up better or another book with the same set of characters to continue the story.
