Henry Hofstadter doesn’t date. When he needs to get laid, he drives out of town, does the deed, and goes home. Maybe ten years ago he’d’ve mocked a guy who preferred canine company to another man’s, but these days his mutt Coco is his best friend and the highlight of his week is hanging out with his nephew. He doesn’t believe in happy endings. And no fairy tale ever began Once upon a time, an arrogant jackass blew me in the storeroom of a lousy club. Math McKinney’s got a lot on his mind. He used to be a charming guy with a little bit of substance; these days he feels more like the guy still standing when everything around him is a smoking ruin. His ex is out of the country for the next year, his daughter thinks she’s his son, and his co-chair on the Committee for the Preservation of Community apparently hates him for, let’s be clear, no apparent reason. (Because that BJ was magnificent. MAGNIFICENT.) Neither of them is looking for a boyfriend. Hell, neither of them is even looking for a one night stand. Yet somehow they keep ending up together and dammed if it doesn’t seem like that’s a sign. Except…fairy tales are for children. Aren’t they?

Steady, small town romance swirling with reluctance, parenting challenges, and meddling friends By Mike Harms This steady romance explores the slow-building relationship between a hunky, divorced, bisexual father (coming to grips with his young, gender-questioning child) and a gay man (a little traumatized by his past but supported by small-town friends and family).The author weaves several elements into the sometimes haphazard and intermittent romance of Henry and Math, which drew me into the story in a bit of a different manner than a typical romance. The men's relationship intertwined nicely with interesting challenges including dealing with transgender issues, depression and hesitancy due to past trauma, family and ex-partners enmeshed in their lives, and even small bit about bisexuality. Of particular interest included Math's very young child questioning their gender identity, and the struggles of even a very progressive father to come to grips with the challenges facing his kid and how best to be a good parent. Henry's sometimes "neurotic" behavior, flaring up because of a troubled history, also kept me engaged in the potential relationship, as the traumas of the past interfered with simple dating let alone building a strong relationship. I especially appreciated how the author handled Math's bisexuality, neither flippantly dismissing his relationships with women as just something that happened in the remote past nor making it an over-dramatized/significant obstacle in the present, but briefly addressing it in a realistic manner.Overall, the writing was and dialog was fine, neither particularly drawing me deeply into the story but also steady enough to keep me interested. As is common with these types of romances, the author occasionally seemed to string out issues, stretching them a bit unrealistically (from my point of view) in order to build in extra conflict, which sometimes damped down the chemistry between the romantic pair a bit too much. (e.g. Math's initial inability to embrace his child's gender challenges, Henry's repeated rejection of a relationship inspite of Math's continued interest, and Math's continual pursuit of a relationship despite Henry's off-putting ways). Overall, I wasn't as invested in the couple as I would have liked (the few intimate scenes sizzled nicely), but whole setting drew me in and made it a rather interesting read.

I loved him. And Math. I loved him too. But. He just seemed too smart to be so dense. It just goes to show that you might think, objectively, a person should know better. But when you are in the same situation, maybe it's not so clear anymore because you lost your objectivity...or something like that. I appreciate that Math is struggling and I think what Ripper did with him is realistic. Also, I don't even want to start thinking of the puns that swarm my brain about Math's name. Something that I suspect isn't a coincidence. It's a nice anecdote to the story.There were a couple of times I got worried that this thing with Henry was going to go on too long. I mean, "quit being crazy" as Liam would say. But then the secondary characters eased me through it. All of them. They were super interesting and all were supportive and troublemakers accordingly.Then there was the lovin. Oh man. These two. It was perfect. And not. Which is perfect. The only awkward moment for me was Math talking about Sam. I really don't want to talk about my man's ex during sexy times. I loved the talking otherwise. Asking for what you want should always be totally cool. And Math made it so hot.I loved this story. I can't not talk about Nova. I made so many highlights about Nova. I wouldn't know where to start. And I don't want to ruin it. It was so beautiful. I found myself suffering from blurry vision that may have required tissues.5 stars. Recommended!!!

Sweet and angsty By TPod Very nice romance/family drama (I'm a sucker for gay dad stories) set in an intriguing fictional town dealing with its own growing pains. I enjoyed Math and Henry's romance, but found the other storylines perhaps more interesting, especially dealing with Math's potentially trans child. I can't imagine the struggle parents of trans children go through (not to mention the kids themselves), but I found the baby steps of Math's acceptance realistic and refreshing. I look forward to reading more New Halliday stories in the future, my introduction being the free-read "The Spinner, the Shepherd, and the Leading Man" also set in the town sometime after the events of this book.
