Synopsis (Goodreads):
"It just figures that the first guy I’m bringing back to my place is cute, single, and totally off-limits..."Thoughts on Heartsong: We're back in Burlington with a little age gap romance. You know what? It's not even that much of an age gap. Especially given that Sean is dealing with some deeply internalized baggage and was forced to grow up way too quickly. But we'll get to that in a bit.
Sean Anderson has spent his life waiting to get the hell out of West Virginia. His plans got derailed when his dad shipped him off to “pray the gay away,” but he’s over it, ready to prove that he’s a grown-ass man who can take care of himself. Of course, he’d have a better chance convincing himself if he could stop lusting after his grumpy roommate.
Army veteran Cooper Hill returned to Vermont minus one leg and one career, but determined to build a new life. When an army buddy asks Cooper to keep an eye on his nephew, a junior at the local college, Cooper can’t say no. He’s expecting a sheltered kid. What he gets is a gorgeous young man whose brilliant poetry gives voice to everything Cooper’s been trying to express. He wants Sean more than he’s ever wanted anything. And somehow, miraculously, Sean wants him too.
But wanting each other isn’t the same as being good for each other . . . especially when past pain threatens to write its own verse in their song.
First: Sean and Cooper. Sean needs a place to stay while he's in starting college away from his family, Cooper needs a little help around the house. The situation works for both of them, although they both have a little crisis of conscience (or something) as they imagine all the ways them starting a relationship could go wrong with them living together.
It turns out that's not really an issue. Neither is Cooper's age. Sean likes Cooper just the way he is and Cooper likes showing Sean the relationshippy ropes. So to speak. The bulk of their issues stem from Sean being told for a big portion of his life that loving another man is wrong. Plus, his dad did something utterly reprehensible and pretty much emotionally scarred Sean in ways Sean didn't realize.
A three-legged pup, quality time spent working on Cooper's house, some steamy evening encounters, and a whole lot of love and support when it's needed most. *thumbs up*
