I was enjoying this until the POV switched to Doug for the last chapter. Screw Doug, Max doesn’t need him! And the sex scene was so full of euphemisms. I don’t really want to read about meaty knobs and rods, or turgid lengths.

I enjoy this short story so much for one reason: It's about a couple who have been together for 5 years, secretly, -- and when things get blown up they actually talk about it. Really talk, assessing their feelings and what they will do with it. I love that *sigh*.

3,5* upgrade because it was a free story.

This was a sweet little story.
Emotional and it felt complete despite its very short length.
The blurb is a good summary. Max and Doug have been a couple, in love and together for 5 years, although deeply closeted teachers.
Max is outed and it doesn't look like Doug is going to choose Max, but instead stay and keep his life, while Max has to move on, without him.
“Max wanted to hate the man for his turning his back on what they’d shared. Instead, sorrow swelled inside him. Doug was trapped inside a hell of his own making, fear and anger clouding his judgment, and there was nothing Max could do to change it.”

I liked the start of the book - the aftermath of an incident, how Max is dealing with it, who exposed Max, what will Max's lover, Doug, do about Max having to leave town to get a new job.
I would have liked a bit more discussion in the second half, especially after Doug comes back. This moved the story away from OK for me.
2.5*

Enjoyed this. Short, simple conflict, but oh so understandable!

It's short, there's talk about the situation, then suddenly it's resolved for sex, then over. Started ok, serious discussion and I got both povs, but then it felt point made over, rather than the characters fully dealing or making further plans.

Max is ready to move to Maryland where he has a new teaching job waiting. Doug has been avoiding Max like the plague even though Doug is the unidentifiable person in the scandalous pictures. There comes a time where one has to choose love or the closet and Doug waited way too long in my opinion. Doug should have been there as soon as the shit hit the fan.

Too short and not enough time to really develop and understand the characters. I feel this story had potential if given the chance but I was disappointed by the brevity of story and superficiality of characterization.

So-so short m/m romance about a teacher who was fired after racy pictures of he and another guy showed up online.
