A secret affair can't go on forever. Dylan Philips admits it himself: he's a relentlessly single man in a small suburban town, both proud of and resigned to being a good teacher and a devoted nephew to his mischievous great-aunts. When the aunts take a hand in matchmaking him with Josie Whitman, the girl who lives along the street, Dylan doesn't tell them what kind of soul mate he's really looking for-and the fact that he's already found the man in question. It's not Josie who's travelling from London every month to her town property, but her journalist brother Neal. And Dylan meets up with Neal whenever he can. But decisions must be made for their future. Dylan is risk-averse to everything from overseas travel to coming out, whereas Neal embraces adventure-and now he wants to take Dylan with him. Horrified that his chance at love will move even further out of his reach, Dylan realises it's time for him to own up to what kind of man he really is. He needs to find courage and compromise. And who knows whether the great-aunts will be a help or a hindrance with that?… (more)

Meddling great-aunts and their somewhat misguided attempts at matchmaking provide not just a quite a few amusing situations, they also “force” Dylan to finally come out of the closet and face up to the fact that he is in love with Neal. It’s quite funny that Neal is the brother of the woman Dylan’s great-aunts have picked as his perfect match!

Dylan does not like taking risks. He is a teacher, a devoted nephew, and likes his quiet life in the small suburban town he calls home. Nate is pretty much the opposite: he is a journalist who travels the world and loves adventure, has no qualms about telling anyone he is gay, and he loves Dylan enough to wat him to join him on his next trip – ideally forever. If only Dylan can find the courage to do it!

If you like your romances with a tough of humor and a ton of heat, if you want to see a guy find his true destiny where he never thought he’d go, and if you’re looking a read that is entertaining, has great characters (I just loved the great-aunts!), and a wonderful ending, then you will probably like this novella as much as I do.
