Historical setting. American history right after emancipation. Basically dude is cursed to carry his heart around in a box. Only the right person and put it back where it belongs. Every year dude searches for the right person (he's desperate, man, woman, goat...it doesn't matter to him).
It was actually a pretty good story. The curse aspect was different. And I liked the interactions between Quincy and Adam. I would have liked to see a full novel out of this. Much better than the last story I read by this author.

Has a lot of editing mistakes, such as typos and missing and/or incorrect punctuation. Also, there was barely any historical language at all, mostly modern. I personally was bothered by the racial terms used; I understand that this was an interracial MM story based just after the Civil War, but I feel as though the words "cracker" and "colored" could've been left out or replaced with simply "white" and "black".
The biggest problem with this story is the story itself. The writing is severely disjointed and the storyline is vague. Who exactly was Jasper, and what was he (clearly not human) in order to be able to cast a spell on someone? What was his reasoning? And most disappointing was that despite the blurb mentioning Quincy having lost his heart, and the story talking about him searching for the one who could see it, I thought it meant he was looking to fall in love. No, it just means whoever sees it, he has a one night stand with them. Then the story ends!
