Spun! by JL Merrow
4.0
4.5*
Ah, JL Merrow writes some memorable characters - both these hit the mark for different reasons.
Rory is everyman - village postie, ordinary guy, divorced, balancing custody visits
David is.....David - young, flits from man to man, job to job, has his teddy Geoffrey to keep,him company
But Rory starts to question himself seriously once he has David as a lodger, is he as straight as he always thought. David isn’t as unaffected by all life deals him as others think. Together they make the other think.
I enjoyed both guys - Rory was more recognisable to me but I did enjoy David’s joie de vivre, as well as all his other french sayings! They bond really over Rory’s kids who are cute. Lots of internal angst until they finally take the plunge. Rory had a few oh-oh moments when confronted with a male body but adjusted v quickly.
Most of the story is about the getting to know you and getting to be on the same page, so any relationship as such is very much at the end of the book.
Did enjoy a great deal.
