 There’s the obvious way of physically saving them from a tragic end. Then there’s the more subtle way of saving someone who doesn’t know they need to be saved. Someone who is drowning emotionally and has no idea that they are slowing dying. Ezra Whitmore is one of those people. After tragically losing his wife, he’s still going through the motions, but not really living. All he has now is his son, Spencer, and his career as a dentist. The life he thought he was going to have has been torn apart. The things he had once enjoyed no longer feel the same without the person he had shared everything with. That is, until Ferris Jenkins crashes into his life. Not only does the lifeguard save his son from literally drowning in the ocean, but he also slowly starts to bring Ezra back to life. As soon as Ferris lays eyes on Ezra, he can’t get the gorgeous dentist out of his head. He knows nothing will ever happen between them because…well, Ezra is straight and he’s gay. You can imagine Ferris’ surprise when Ezra gets drunk one night, kisses him, and admits that he’s always been attracted to guys. This gives Ferris hope that maybe, just maybe, he can land the man of his dreams. |
So, Ezra and I head for the dance floor. We find an open spot in the midst of the crowd that is mostly girls. I find out very quickly that Ezra is a really sexy dancer. Oh, what I would give to be all over that delicious body of his. He rolls his body like a goddamn male stripper. I’m mesmerized and completely turned the f*ck on.
A young girl, probably in her mid-twenties, dances her way in front of Ezra. She puts her back to him and shoves her ass in his crotch. She’s a cute girl with a nice body. Ezra’s eyebrows shoot up and his wide eyes meet mine. He actually gives me a “Help me!” look. Apparently, he’s not ready to have a young girl bumping and grinding on him. It seems that even though my friend is lonely and could use some lovin’, it doesn’t look like he’s ready to have some chick he doesn’t know rubbing herself all over him.
Ferris to the rescue!
I step closer and grab Ezra’s hand, pulling him out from behind the girl and up against my side. I wrap my free arm around his waist and pull him in so that we are touching from chest to thigh. Ezra can no doubt feel my erection against his hip, but it can’t be helped.
“Hey!” the girl, who looks downright pissed, yells over the music. “I was dancing with him!”
“Sorry, hun, but he’s with me, and I’d appreciate it if you kept your skanky ass away from his c*ck,” I drawl, palming Ezra’s ass for effect.
I feel Ezra’s hand snake around my waist, causing goose bumps to pop up all over my skin. The girl rolls her eyes and mutters something about all of the hot ones being gay, before stomping off through the crowd. I smile my triumph and turn to look at Ezra, who is so close that our noses touch when I face him.
My breath catches as a wave of desire hits me hard. Sh*t, I would love to seal my lips over his right now. I swear that same look is in his eyes again; but this time, the lust has been cranked up a notch. He looks like he’s actually thinking about kissing me, too.
“You might want to dance with me if you don’t want to get hit on,” I murmur just loud enough for him to hear me.
Ezra licks his bottom lip and gives me a jerky nod. “Yeah, okay, we can dance.”
We slowly start swaying to the music. I turn slightly so that we are completely facing each other and slip my thigh in between his. The arm Ezra has around my waist tightens, pulling me closer. His nose brushing my cheek and ear, sending shivers down my spine. We grind against each other. I keep my hand on his ass for show...okay, that's a lie; I just want to touch his ass. It's a very nice ass - firm and round - and I'm fairly certain that what I'm feeling against my thigh is his erection. F*ck me, I'm in so much trouble with this guy.
Carra's Review
This is the first book I've read by this author, and while the writing style could use a little polishing so the story could read more smoothly, the story itself I found sweet and just an all around good read.
I really liked both main characters. Ferris was so understanding and sweet, and shows strength of character when it comes to his family. Ezra had some growing to do so he could accept who he is, and Ferris is the perfect person to help him-and love him.
Now, I have to say...Spencer, Ezra's son, really stole a nice chunk of the spotlight. I loved how determined he became and how he advocated not just for himself but also for Ferris and Ezra. I would love to hear more about Spencer's own story if the author would consider writing it at some point-he's just too wonderful a character not to get his own story!
There's plenty of drama to be found with both Ferris and Ezra's families, and a nice bit of heat between Ferris and Ezra themselves, and to top it off there's a lot of worry near the end, but I'm glad that everything turned out the way it did.
How to Save a Life gets 4 stars from me, and I'd recommend it to M/M romance fans 18+ (for some adult language and M/M sexual content).
 She loves to read Romance. Paranormal, Scottish, Military, Police, Firefighters, Athletes, Cowboys and M/M are her favorite. She is not so much a fan of YA, though. If you haven't been able to tell from reading her books, she likes - whether she is reading them or writing them - lots of hot steamy sex. |
