Late one night, Connor Maclean calls his best friend, tells him he wishes he had a man, and explains exactly why. Or he thinks he's telling his friend. Actually, he's hit the wrong contact on his phone and laid out his sexual needs to one of his bosses, Gary Bayes. After that, Connor goes bright red every time he must face Gary in the office. Will his nightmare of shame ever end?
This story first appeared in the anthology 'Not Quite Shakespeare' published by Dreamspinner Press in 2014. It is now available for free from the author's website: http://meganreddaway.com/free-reads/
Megan Reddaway has been entertained by fictional characters acting out their stories in her head for as long as she can remember. She began writing them down as soon as she could.
Since she grew up (more or less), she’s worked as a secretary, driver, waitress, and flower-seller, among other things, but she always has a story bubbling away at the same time.
This was an introduction to this author for me. I can say I am very glad to have found her work. This is a short story and I wish it could have been a little longer. I was drawn in from the start. It is funny and sexy. I hope to find other opportunities to see these characters. I highly recommend this book.
A cute short story. I liked Connor, the narrator, but the story was too short to get a good grasp on the other MC. Still, it was good enough to make me feel optimist about the modern m/m retelling of Pride and Prejudice this author has coming out in a few weeks.
Full disclosure, I'm not a fan of short stories but the blurb caught my eye. It's a good little story, I liked it but it was way too short, I'm totally frustrated! I only wish it were longer!!! I'd like to read MORE about Connor an Gary (I've always been partial to red-headed).
Anyway, thank you Ms. Reddaway for this free read!
