caz963 's review for:
Sergeant Delicious
by Annabeth Albert
3.5 stars
A sweet and sexy short story previously published in a charity anthology, Sergeant Delicious begins with soon-to-be demobbed Xavier answering an ad from "fun foodie guy" (a food writer) who wants someone to go with him to an upmarket dinner on Valentine's day. The first part of this short story/novella shows the pair getting to know each other a bit via email, which makes the attraction they experience when they meet more believable. Both men are likeable and down-to-earth, and one of the things I really appreciate about novellas when they're done well, is that the shorter page count doesn't leave room for silly misunderstandings and other distracting plot points; and this is one of those that's done well. The author doesn't allow Damien's hang-ups to get in the way (in fact, making good use of them! *wink*) and devotes all her page time to building the relationship between the leads.
A quick, fun (and did I mention sexy?) read.
