3.5 stars**Sopilers, maybe?**This was a fun, although sometimes frustrating, read. Emory's a hilarious and self-deprecating main character-- Mr.-play-it-safe, who decided it was time for a change after his fiancée left him at the altar. He took a solo trip to Thailand, which was intended to be a h...

I keep going back and forth between 3 and 4 stars. So I'll just say 3.5 Stars and round up.I absolutely adored The Other Guy. Emory James is laugh out loud funny.So what do you do when your fiance leaves you at the alter? You go on living (and take that honeymoon you paid for!) Emory went to Tha...

Considering how much I am looking forward for a GOOD mm romance, I liked this book well enough. More than anything, I liked that Emory and Nate develop a great friendship. True, in their first days together in Thailand they already become lovers, but once they are back home, they spend a lot of time...

Absolute perfection.I have no objections or complaints other than superficial ones of the "NOOOO! CAN'T YOU SEE YOU'RE DRIVING THIS INTO DISASTER?" sort.It was witty, it was soulful, it was profound, ALL OF THE CHARACTERS WERE QUITE FLESHED OUT, EVEN THAT MARYBETH LADY WHOSE NAME UNFORTUNATELY KEPT ...

A well-written, low on sex and high on humour m/m book? Hello there, mythical creature! This book deserves a read merely because it exists! I loved it that it was so low on unnecessary tears and melodrama (considering the fact that the main character is left at the altar you'd expect a lot of whinin...

4 stars. Enjoyed reading about Emory and Nate and following Emory's process to his own HEA.

I loved Emory's sesquipedalian voice, how real and how frail he was. Emory often annoyed me with some of his actions - or inactions - but in ways I found realistic.I love many books with no sex, or fade-to-black sex scenes, so have no objections to that on principle. However, despite clear hints tha...

Again, thank you so much friends lists for letting me find this book, otherwise I would never have known it existed. Basic Plot: The voice is just Emory's a speech pathologist who just got left at the alter. He goes ahead and takes the honeymoon alone to Thailand and finds a new friend/lover in Nat...

Hugs adorable ebook in my Kindle tightly to my chest!OK, so this had the dreaded last 1/3 of the book a character does something that makes you go, "noooooooooooesss!" It bothered me, obviously. But, I thought on it, and as much as it hurt, I realized it felt natural for that character. I may hav...
