Out! (The Shamwell Tales, #3)

Posted on 01 October 2018 by J.L. Merrow

When the costs are added up, will love land in the black Mark Nugent has spent his life in the closet at least, the small part of it he hasn t spent in the office Divorced when he could no longer deny his sexuality, he s sworn off his workaholic ways and moved to Shamwell with his headstrong teen daughter to give her a stable home environment.His resolve to put his love life on hold is severely tested when he joins a local organization and meets a lively yet intense young man who tempts him closer to the closet threshold.Patrick Owen is an out and proud charity worker with strong principles and a newly discovered weakness for an older man One snag Mark is adamant he s not coming out to his daughter, and Patrick will be damned if he s going to start a relationship with a lie.Between Mark s old fashioned attitudes and a camp, flirtatious ex colleague who wants Mark for himself, Patrick wonders if they ll ever be on the same romantic page And when Mark s former career as a tax advisor clashes with Patrick s social conscience, it could be the one stumbling block they can t get past Warning Contains historically inaccurate Spartan costumes, mangled movie quotes, dubious mathematical logic and a three legged pub crawl.

(The Shamwell Tales, #3) – kino-fada.fr 2.5 stars I like J.L Merrow, I swear, but the Shamwell series has turned out to be a major dud for me This book was fine it was fine but just draggy The whole Shamwell series just seems to be told at a glacial pace, and my attention just wavered the entire time.The relationship was hot cold, hot cold repeat, repeat, repeat , and I was sick to death of it by the end I actually was rooting for Mark to get with his assistant, David, because he was the only thing that kept me interested 2.5 stars I like J.L Merrow, I swear, but the Shamwell series has turned
