Lunch Break

Working Man #8

by J.M. Snyder

Nick works as a stock boy at a local grocery store. He doesn't mind the work -- it's a way to help pay for college. Still, there are some days when he hates his job ... like when he's trying to flirt with a sexy young businessman named Kevin, and other customers keep interrupting.

When Kevin returns to the store just to see him, Nick once again finds himself in an embarrassing situation -- this time, cleaning up broken pickle jars on aisle three. But something about him interests Kevin, for whatever reason, and their second encounter leads to a lunch date, and the promise of so much more.

[Lillian Francis]

This short had a multicultural pairing and a 10 yr age gap.
Meetcute (and a bit more) with a strong Happy Ending.

What can I say, I enjoy this very much. I love their meeting and well, for once, a glimpse of HEA in such short story. This series always come up with such cuteness!!

Nick works in a grocery to save money for his tuition. He is a simple guy with dreams of his own and when he sees Kevin one day at lunch break, he thinks that one of his dreams comes true: Kevin is a ten years older African-American man, who practices with a lawyer. He is refined and classy, and beautiful.

Nick can't believe when Kevin asks him out. But obviously he has no intention to refuse this great opportunity.

The Working Man series by J.M. Snyder are short but very interesting stories. Short but complete, you have in less than 25 pages an entire story that let you fill what it's not said with your imagination.

In this case Nick is so sweet and Kevin so selfconscious and tender, that I'd like very much to read a whole story with these two characters.

Reviewed by Markie: This is a cute and sexy short story about Nick, a stock boy who isn't in love with his job but takes a sudden interest in a sexy customer.

My only complaint is that I'd like more story here. There is definite heat between the characters and that could be developed into so much more.
