  • Deacon Miller never had it all - he never really believed he could. Growing up in a broken home with an alcoholic mother and a revolving door of truly pathetic father figures taught him to keep his expectations low. Now at 27, on the night before Christmas Eve, his life is turned upside down yet again; his boyfriend has dumped him, he just fled the holiday family reunion from hell, and now to top it all off, a blizzard has left him stranded in an airport hotel.
    Steve Steele has spent the better part of his 44 years living a lie, ignoring his attraction to other men in an attempt to fit into the mold of the man he thought he should be, instead of living life as the man he knew himself to be. Recently divorced after coming home from work one day and coming out to his wife, Steve has floundered over the past year, desperately attempting to wade through the guilt and find the courage to start again. That's when a chance meeting in a hotel bar brings two lonely men together...and what should've been a one night stand turns into something much more than either one ever expected.

"This Story tugged at my heartstrings!"
Overall
Performance
Story
I have a penchant for May/December romances and I love ones with a big age gap.
Deacon grew up poor, on the wrong side of town, an alcoholic mother that blamed him for all of her failed relationships. Now on Christmas Eve, he finds himself in a bar alone, his mother once again calling him names, and his boyfriend dumped him by text. He meets Steve, a handsome businessman and they hit it off. Then he gets a call from his sister that his mother was in an accident and finds himself staying there, back in his hometown and the house he hated to raise his 16-year-old sister. The characters are amazing, the storyline interesting and plenty of twists.

I would give Jason Frazier a 15 on narration alone. Holy cow, his voice is sultry and hot but he adds in all of these mmms, moans, grunts, sighs and I melted with each one. He gives each character a unique personality even the kids and women you could tell who is who. I think he brings a fabulous story to even greater heights. I could listen to this one over and over!

If you like older men/younger men, Car salesmen, cute kids, and fabulous romance I highly recommend this and if you can get the audio do so!


I am a gay man living in Missouri. I can hear the gasps already!! How very un-chic of me, yes I know. It was here I was born, and here I have stayed.

I'm currently single, but always looking for that special someone that makes my heart skip a beat as well as being able to put up with neurotic litte 'ole me. The worst thing about being a romance writer is finding a real-life hottie who can live up to the fantasy I create in my head and subsequently thrust upon him before actually getting to know him. I can hear you getting all judgie, it's an occupational hazard! To all my past and future boyfriends, my sincerest apologies, I can't help myself!

I was the youngest of four children and the only boy, so needless to say, I was spoiled rotten. I've always had an extravagant fantasy life. When I played with my Star Wars action figures as a child, I liked to make up my own stories. Naturally, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo were totally meant for each other, and Princess Leia made a bitchin' wise-cracking fag-hag. 

I somehow managed to survive high school living in a small racist town in Southeast Missouri and emerged unscathed, realizing life was too short to pretend to be anything other than who I was. I was the little homo that could. So damn it, I did! It was all very Lifetime Movie Network meets After School Special, I assure you.

After a few stints in college, I eventually signed up for a Creative Writing course. I took the class because there were no tests. For once my scholastic laziness paid off, and I found an outlet for all the fantasies running amuck in my head. It was love at first write, and I've been doing it off and on ever since.

Now I've decided it's time to un-barricade the doors and unleash my imagination onto the world. So very sorry world!! My fantasy life is now available for public consumption and I'm desperately hoping you're really, really hungry.
