Lovely little sweet read about Sage, a guy who is struggling to make ends meet to take care of his family and Tully, a wealthy lawyer who is a friend of Sage's cousin. Like all of the Dreamspun reads, this is like gossamer threads of sugar spun lightly over these two guys. Sage needs a place to live in Portland for part of the week while he works as a cook. Carrie, his cousin, works with Tully and asks him to let Sage live with him for a while until he gets on his feet. Through meals and shared confidences, Sage and Tully move from friends to lovers. This hummed along at a rather low boil (hah!). Up until the end, this was a solid 3 or 3.5 but so liked the way the author ended it that I just swooned and uppped it to a 4. Classic Dreamspun read with strong writing, low to mid heat and a sweet HEA. Solid secondary characters particularly Carrie and Eddy. Nice homey feeling about small towns and acceptance.
