Wow. That's a risky scene for an m/m novel. If this weren't a Lanyon, I'd abandon this. I'm really confused now because this story is actually one of the very best by Lanyon...

Huh. He's telling the little criminal that the bottle he's holding is worth 10,000 dollars?! The next time you'll take a toilet break you'll come back to an empty wine cellar, LOL.

I find this story remarkably great!

"What the hell kind of job is that for a grown man? Master of wine. That’s one step from claiming you want to be a Jedi knight when you grow up.”

Ouch, dad.

This is so good! I love these two.

Aaaw, it's so sweet how super-closeted Jeff asks innocently about Austin's previous relationship. As if a relationship between two men was something he never considered.

“And I was afraid this was going to be a wasted trip,” Austin mumbled.
“And I was thinking this morning was going to be just another ordinary day.”
This morning Jeff had woken in Carson’s bed. Austin preferred not to think about that.'

Sooo good!! It's like a very dry comedic play.

Just once. Just once I want to be a character in a Lanyon story. Guys are queuing up to spend a night with Austin...

'Jeff’s mouth sought his, and there was an artless misjudging of lips and distances before they were kissing again, sharing breaths, laughing. Austin found both the fumble and the laughter reassuring.
He didn’t particularly want to go to bed with a porn star.'

This story has me feel like one of Austin's wines. I need to breathe before I can enjoy their first time together. And it's so odd, because you basically know Jeff will break Austin's heart...
