About this ebook

In an attempt to run from his past, John Welsh has spent the last few years building walls around himself. He knows the best way to stay safe is to keep people at arm's length and preferably out of sight. During weak moments, he might wish he had someone, but he's not ready. After all, it takes seven years for the body to replace all its cells. He has four years to go before he's new.

Zachary Fane is always on the move, always on his way to somewhere. He's going from job to job, from country to country. Contrary to what people might think, he wants nothing more than to find a place to call home, and he knows just where. This time, he is ready. This time, he will stay in Nortown. This time, things will be different. But when he arrives to buy the log cabin he believed would be his, he finds it inhabited. When he goes to talk to the new owner, he is met by the most beautiful green eyes followed by a door slammed in his face.

John should've known the peace he's found in Nortown wouldn't last. One day everything is fine, the next a mountain of a man shows up wherever he goes. All Zachary wants is to be close to the quiet man who has moved into his cabin. If following him around is the only way, then so be it. Sooner or later, John will get used to having him there ... at least, if Zachary hangs around long enough.

Includes the short story, "Honey Baked."

Once in May is another excellent story by Olivia Gränd. I loved John and Zachary. I loved how the author gave us bits and pieces of John's past boyfriend and let us infer from John's reactions in the story to show us how bad it had been and how far he's come in three years. I also loved how Zachary is drawn to John, recognizes that he has issues he's dealing with, and slowly integrates himself into John's life. The bonus story, Honey Baked, about John and Zach was hot. They got very creative with the baked brie. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

Ofelia Gränd is Swedish, which often shines through in her stories. She likes to write about everyday people ending up in not-so-everyday situations, and hopefully also getting out of them. She writes about men falling in love with other men, but when it comes to subgenres, she likes to mix and match. Her books are written for readers who want to take a break from their everyday life for an hour or two. When Ofelia manages to tear herself from the screen and sneak away from husband and children, she likes to take walks in the woods ... if she's lucky, she finds her way back home again.
