I was interested to read 'Hue, Tint and Shade', the first book in a collaboration titled 'Petit Morts', written by Jordan Castillo Price and Josh Lanyon, both authors I greatly enjoy. I was intrigued by the hint of romance Jordan pulled off in this short story, as I don't usually think of her and "sweet" in the same sentence. Believe me when I say, this is not a bad thing.
Tommy is a shy, very introverted, socially awkward, kind of nerdy guy. He's not, however, so shy or introverted that he can't appreciate a fine butt on Chance, the guy who runs Sweets to the Sweet. He's also not so shy that he doesn't notice the super hot window washer doing the windows on the thirty-second floor while Tommy is ignoring his therapist. But will he call the number the guy wrote on the window? Turns out Tommy doesn't have to when Nathan meets him in the bathroom. *grins*
This was WAY too short, Jordan! I could've kept reading about Tommy, Nathan, and the very elusive and enigmatic Chance, whom I think I might see again. Maybe? Absolutely wonderful and delightful. Thank you, Jordan.

Introvert Tommy meets window-washer Nathan, an extrovert with no qualms in letting Tommy know how very interested in him he is... even when he's dangling in front of his therapist's office writing his number on the windows instead of washing them!
I'm kind of teasing myself with this author. Everyone I know wants me to read her Psycop series, and though I fully intend to... it's kind of exciting to build up the anticipation for a series absolutely everyone I know is raving about.
For this month, after the depressing stack of books I read in February, I thought I'd start off with something nice and easy... something to make reading a pleasure and I'm so glad I tried this little morsel! It was a light, easy read, with likeable characters, a pretty believable scenario (you know, for what it was!), and included a magical chocolatier to boot. What's not to love?!

This is my first entry into reading this genre, gay themed fiction written by women for women. There's quite a lot of it out there and I always assumed it was too heavy on the romance for me so I never picked it up.
This book is the first entry in a series and is the perfect length for an introduction to this genre. The story moves quickly and the author creates some believable scenes and interesting characters.
Basically a shy man meets another through a chance encounter, they make a date, they have sex (the sex was good!) and end of book, with a couple plot twists along the way.
I found the romance was not too heavily pushed, the characters were fully formed and I enjoyed the author's note at the end explaining where the characters and story came from.
I will read more from this series, good job.

I’m not too sure what to make of this quirky little short. Seems to be a mysterious chocolatier is nudging others to find their happy ending and no one deserves that more than poor shy anxiety ridden Tommy. When he serendipitously just so happens to come across Nathan, these extreme opposites perfectly click.
Again, quirky and a bit nebulous. Sexy too. I’m intrigued.

I adore the character of Chance, not only is he like a gay cupid, he's completely hot AND he runs a magical chocolate shop. This story was a delight from start to finish.
One of a series of multi author stories focussed around the character Chance as far as I can tell. And perhaps reading them all together would make sense of some of the out of the ordinary hints.
Tommy and Nathan benefit from Chances meddling anyway, and the story is kind of a one night date that has the potential for more, but at less than 40 pages it is always going to be quick! One can on,y hope it is Nathan who will brighten Tommy's aura

A sweet short story, just a taste, with a mismatched couple in the form of Tommy and Nathan. Little moments of joy and disappointment, and an ending with the world just beginning to open up for the sweet MC, Tommy. I'm intrigued by a hint of the mystery surrounding Chance.
I’ve been a longtime fan of Jordan Castillo Price’s steamy m/m paranormals but somehow I’d never read this very cute little short until now.
“Hue, Tint, and Shade” is the epic romance of Tommy, the world’s least assertive car salesman, and Nathan, the world’s hottest window washer. The story feels mostly like a contemporary, with just a light hint of magic, depending on whether or not you believe that some characters really can see auras. (I think the title is referring to colors in people’s auras.)
I really liked Tommy with his relatable social anxiety. And I liked how he got over his issues and jumped at the chance when Nathan expressed interest. Jordan Castillo Price has a gift of writing very hot scenes while keeping the focus on the characters, so you never forget that it is this specific couple making out in their own specific way.
This is the first in a series of linked short stories sharing the character of Chance, the chocolate shop barista. Reading it as a standalone, it is slightly odd how Chance is introduced, plays a role in the story, and even has a chapter from his point of view, but then vanishes. I had trouble connecting with Chance from just this one story. It’s clear that his character arc is going to pick up again in later stories. I see the story is now only available as part of the complete collection on Amazon, probably a good move.
“Hue, Tint, and Shade” is a sweet and hot romance with just a touch of mystery surrounding the chocolate shop. Definitely recommended for fans of m/m romance.
