Book Review:
When Charlie Matheson sees something broken, his first instinct is to fix it. A broken machine, run down house, strange new man. Charlie can't help himself. It's all he's done since the age of eighteen when he set aside his own dreams to take on the role of "parent" to his younger brother Jack after the death of their parents. Now several years later, he lives his life on auto-pilot, running his hardware store, caring for customers and going home alone to his remodeled house and cat.
Rye Janssen is a couch surfer, staying in one place until he's asked to move on . . . yet again. He doesn't have a family or a place to call home and has been a drifter since he left home at the age of sixteen. When he gets a letter from a lawyer telling him his unknown grandfather willed him a house in Garnet Run, Wyoming, he strikes out cross country in his rusty, old car to find a rotting down house in dire need of repair - one inhibited by creepy, crawly things in the dark . . . and a forlorn, hungry cat. Rye's stayed in worse places so he throws his ragged sleeping bag in the corner, shares his scarce food supply with the cat, rolls up his sleeves and goes to work. By the way . . . how does one go about fixing a house? First stop, local hardware store where he meets Charlie Matheson.
Best Laid Plans is Charlie and Rye's journey - two polar opposite, emotionally damaged men coming together, learning to accept, trust, and love. It's a sweet story of innocence, in many ways second chances, and learning to embrace the true meaning of family and "home". As Charlie teaches Rye how to remodel a house and recognize his true life calling, Rye teaches Charlie how to let go of the past - how to relinquish control and trust that someone else has his back. The story that unfolds is low-angst, slow-burn romance at its finest with pages of laugh out loud banter, emotional turmoil and lots of steamy chemistry. Readers get an intimate view of both men's journey to emotional stability and a brighter future through insight into their thoughts and feelings as the story is told through dual points of view. Best Laid Plans is a great addition to the series. Highly recommended to fans of m/m romance.
Excerpt:
Synopsis:
Charlie Matheson has spent his life taking care of things. When his parents died two days before his eighteenth birthday, he took care of his younger brother, even though that meant putting his own dreams on hold. He took care of his father’s hardware store, building it into something known several towns over. He took care of the cat he found in the woods…so now he has a cat.
When a stranger with epic tattoos and a glare to match starts coming into Matheson’s Hardware, buying things seemingly at random and lugging them off in a car so beat-up Charlie feels bad for it, his instinct is to help. When the man comes in for the fifth time in a week, Charlie can’t resist intervening.
Rye Janssen has spent his life breaking things. Promises. His parents’ hearts. Leases. He isn’t used to people wanting to put things back together—not the crumbling house he just inherited, not his future and certainly not him. But the longer he stays in Garnet Run, the more he can see himself belonging there. And the more time he spends with Charlie, the more he can see himself falling asleep in Charlie’s arms…and waking up in them.
Is this what it feels like to have a home—and someone to share it with?
