Out of the Dark
by Josie Kerr
Amazon / B&N
Daniel Beaujardin spent fifteen years serving his country in the United States Marine Corps until a roadside bomb ended his military career. When a former teammate offers him a job in Atlanta, Dan, left scarred and partially blind from the accident, jumps at the opportunity for a fresh start.
Three years after his partner’s death, Alexander Westport is still simply going through the motions. Work, softball practice, and the occasional family dinner is how he spends his time, but Alex knows he’s not really living.
An anonymous encounter at a local gay club first brings Dan and Alex together, and after a second chance meeting, the men strike up a friendship that quickly turns romantic. When professional and personal troubles threaten their fledgling relationship, Dan and Alex learn battles fought together are won more easily than those faced alone.

I know you’ve always liked eyes. You have since I caught you kissing that photo of Elijah Wood when you were fourteen.
My Review:
Sizzle and snap – this book was a scorcher, it started off steamy then bloomed into a tender sweet love story between two lonely, mature, and swoon-worthy men. Sigh, why do all the best ones bat for the other team? I adored this couple, they were extra special and Ms. Kerr has created an engaging, heart squeezing, and insightful story to showcase them while kicking off her new series. What a bold move to start off with an M/M romance as an anchor, although the storylines easily meshed and connected with her DS Fight Club crew. I enjoy her unique brand of clever and snarky levity and thoughtful and emotive HEA tales.

You know, I used to have a huge crush on a gay man.
Me too!
He had the best blue eyes
ohhhh this sounds like it’s definitely my kind of read! Thanks for writing this lovely review!
I need it in my life.
Great review, as always.
I can always count on your reviews to find books that are out of my radar and yet, sound so interesting!
Great review! Love your new header 🙂
One of a kind book! I love the cover 🙂
OOOh look at that book it looks great and five stars too. Great review.
This looks so good. My daughter thinks that I am hilarious, As about 80% of the men that I think are attractive on TV turn out to be gay. Matt Bomer being my biggest heart break. My outlook is that I am happily married, middle aged, fat bookworm. The chances of me meeting and attracting them is about the same, irrelevant of their sexuality.
Matty is the da bomb!
Glad you enjoyed it
