I didn't really have any expectations going into this other than I'd seen it included in a list of books with disability rep, and it was a queer Christmas story so all three of those things seemed up my alley. I really enjoyed it! I laughed out loud a few times, let out some tears at one point, and was surprised (in a good way) at how horny it was for a slow burn. Trent has been a slut most of his adult light (affectionate, he was proud of it) but secretly wanted to be wanted and to have a family, he just didn't think he deserved it or could do it. After a disastrous first date with his neighbor, set up by Mile's son Bubba, they eventually end up becoming friends and then more. Even when he doesn't think he's interested, he still acknowledges his attraction (dude is so gone for Mile's butt). Miles has severe anxiety, to the point that he often can't speak around people he isn't comfortable with or doesn't know, and he's had a crush on Trent since they moved in five years ago, which makes it worse at first (there are panic attacks portrayed on page). Their progression is a slow burn but lovely and when it gets steamy it really does (including some primal play later on). Bubba is eleven (seemed a little younger to me what do I know), super smart and science-brained like a kid I know and love, so I appreciated that. He also has asthma but it seems to be under control with an inhaler and figuring out his activity threshold. This is book two of three in the series and I now plan to read book three for sure and maybe go back to book one.
