Bloqués

by Argentina Ryder

Une nuit. Pas de noms. Pas d'attentes.

Lorsque le pilote Sam Baldwin fait connaissance avec un bel inconnu pendant une visite de Noël chez sa famille, il ne cherche rien de plus que quelques heures d'oubli. Le Dr Clint Collins – caché derrière un faux nom et des années de déni soigneusement entretenu – ne cherche rien du tout.

Puis la tempête de verglas frappe, clouant tous les vols au sol et les piégeant ensemble dans une chambre d'hôtel.

Ce qui devait être une seule nuit en devient deux. Une aventure sans lendemain se transforme en conversation. Un inconnu devient la première personne qui donne à Clint l'envie d'être vraiment connu – et la première personne qui donne à Sam l'envie de rester.

Mais la glace va fondre. La vraie vie attend. Et certaines chances ne se présentent qu'une seule fois.

Bloqués est une novella M/M torride et indépendante mettant en scène un pilote qui a peur d'atterrir, un chirurgien qui apprend à ne plus se cacher, une proximité forcée qui devient quelque chose de réel, et un week-end de fête qui change tout.

Des hommes matures, bloqués par la neige, l'un est un père célibataire vivant ses premiers moments d'homme homosexuel hors du placard et l'autre est un pilote de ligne qui utilise le temps bloqué à bon escient. Bref parfait, tout ce qu'il le fallait pour passer un bon moment, merci !

Cute little book. I wish the editor had paid some more attention though. Even in these few pages there were little annoying inconsistencies. The name Clint was already mentioned before Sam knew his name wasn’t John. Clinton gets a window seat but then sits in the middle seat. Things like that. And somehow I expected a little more at the end, although the open end maybe made it better because it didn’t delude the important part of the story.
Not sure.

Anyway it’s cute and quick and a lovely 30 minutes.

When bad weather grounds all traffic and you even have to share a hotel room, that's when things get interesting and hot! A great story, two handsome men with nothing to do and only one bed. Both are interesting characters, each with their own surprises and woes, a story that makes you want to know more of these two.

A short-but-sweet novella.

Ryder does a certain flavor of yearning and miscommunications beautifully in her stories, and this one is no different. Sam and Clint find themselves yearning for something more.

I will say the first few chapters are confusing. I get that one of the MC's uses a fake name at first, but then the story uses the real name and then the fake name again....sounds like an editor was really needed to winnow out some of the inconsistencies.

A wonderful story. Crisp, clean, and with a happy ending.

I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed this story. It was short and sweet BUT I'm left unsatisfied with the ending. Ugh I want more.

This was... something. It was certainly cute, and I enjoyed the awkwardness of what to do when you're snowed in with your one night stand. I don't know if I really felt an actual spark between them, though. Sam went snooping through Clint's computer to find out he has a kid and gave him a fake name, and that felt weird. Clint didn't give Sam his number, and then they just so happened to be on the same flight and that's the only reason they're going to continue this thing. This thing that just... isn't much of anything.

Une romance naissante, j'ai beaucoup aimé, l'auteur a bien restitué les ressentis des personnages et c'est vraiment top.
