Handle with Care by Josephine Myles
4.0
4.5. I like Jo Myles books and this one didn't disappoint - well written, the story flowed, i couldn't put it down. Ben is dealing with diabetes and kidney failure, focussing all his fantasies on Ollie, the courier delivery guy. The storydealt with the kidney failure in a sympathetic way and it didnt overshadow everything. The story of Ben and Ollie's relationship developed slowly in line with Ben's recovery from surgery. I like the humour in Jo Myles' stories.
21.8.15 reread : again, I do love Jo Myles' stories, especially the dialogue. She just makes the conversations seem very real to me. I had thought Ben's surgery was at the end of the book so I was more focussed on Ollie this time. The issue of his old boyfriend was resolved verbally but I thought he would make more of a physical presence because of the Ben/work connection. Whilst the post surgery wait meant they took their time, they did go from casual acquaintances to lovers quite quick. Would rate 4* now.
