An story about a guy mooing some police officers and ends up I liked them finding each other, but I didn't like Simon
I mean, wth?? Despicable. It all works out in the end, but still... what a dick move.

In The Blue Moonlight written by H. Lewis-Foster is a short story about a man named Simon who, even as a young man, is set in his ways. Simon was the responsible one who, in the words of his friend Chris, was a “Boring old fart”. That was until one night he, his younger brother, Sean, and Sean’s friends were out having a drink. As they walked out of the pub, Simon blurted out one thing he’d always wanted to do was to moon a policeman.
With this being very out of character for Simon, the entire group was completely shocked by the statement for a brief moment but quickly recovered. As each one got a grin on their face, they began encouraging him to do just that. With each one dropping their pants and turning around, Simon’s turn came. Even as he wished he could take the words back, he dropped his trousers, bent over and mooned the policemen that had come walking up behind them. After taking off running while pulling up their pants, laughter ensued and the group got away.
Nights later, Simon was dragged out to a gay pub a few towns over where he met up with one of the officers, Mark, that he had mooned. Embarrassed and thinking he was going to be arrested, Simon was fully prepared to end up being locked behind bars. Much to his surprise, Mark ended up joking around then asking him out.
In the Blue Moonlight was a very cute, funny and amazing story. I laughed and cheered both the main characters. The twist that the story took from a potential indecent exposure arrest to an HEA was absolutely amazing and the fact that, with the encouragement from Simon, that Mark came out to those he worked for made me almost cry with happiness. Thank you H for sharing the story with us.

In the Blue Moonlight is an amusing M/M romp. A very entertaining short story.

Simon blackmailing Mark into outing himself was uncool even though it came out okay (even if it occurred a bit awkwardly while in the police showers).

2.5 stars This wasn't bad, it was just a bit dull. Off to a fun and flirty start, things fizzle a bit once Simon and Mark actually start dating. I appreciate the authors attempt to put in a genuine relationship obstacle in order to make it feel more real. But I didn't find Simon's ultimatum playful , and I found Mark's final reveal awkward and anti-climactic. Unfortunately by then I had lost steam, so the sex scene didn't do anything for me (and I actually skimmed it!)

Original review on Molly Lolly
Four and a half stars!
This book was a fun little short that I couldn’t put down. At roughly 20 pages it’s a fast read but it’s packed with sexy time, insecurities, and coming out of the closet fun. I loved the scene where Simon inadvertently met Mark. Those kinds of shenanigans make for a good laugh. Especially when they meet again later. The ending is more than a HFN but with the couple being so new you can’t really call it a HEA either. I’d love to read more about Simon and Mark but if they never appear again I’m happy with what is given. Now I get the pleasure of reading more by a new author I enjoy.
