This is a very tough situation to be in, as anyone who has ever been told they are "not enough" (for whatever reason) will know. Sometimes, it is about who a person really is at the core and wanting to make sure others see them as they are – despite appearances. Usually, it focuses on the surface someone presents to others, but sometimes it goes deeper. The saying that "image is everything" is true for a lot of people, and it's all about being accepted by a group or being seen as "being someone". I’m glad the authors wrote a romantic story about two people finding a partner who is attracted to them for who they really are. I also appreciated that there was some dualism between what things Taylor was hiding and what things Charlie wanted to reveal about his likes/kinks. They had nice chemistry, and I appreciated that Charlie was the right amount of forward/pushy to continually show Taylor that he was interested and ready to try things.
At the same time, I felt very keenly Taylor’s stresses as he worried about being rejected or found out or even beat up because others wouldn’t accept who he is.Ĭharlie is a very sweet character, one who is very enamored with the cute twink that he met (and was blown by) at the porn emporium. It was a good read, and I thought the authors did a really nice job of portraying Taylor.
I’m not normally a fan of “straight-up” contemporary romances, but this story was a bit different since the main character of Taylor is trans*, and this is the first trans* romance I’ve read. Fortunately for him, he gets on the radar a sweet bear of a man who is willing to push through those fears.įull disclosure-the authors contacted me to read a version of this short story a few weeks before they released. A nice contemporary romance short story about a man who wants to find that special someone, but fears his body will not be enough for a potential partner.
