Recommendation
You know that moment when the stars align and the universe is on your side, and you find a book you absolutely *needed* in that moment? That’s St. Nacho’s for me. I’d had this on my Kindle for a while, because I thought the title was a little silly, so the book must be a little silly, and I wasn’t in the mood for that. Boy, was I wrong. I’ve never bought an entire series this fast, and every single book by one author to follow. I could quote this entire novel, every line is a fucking gem, and I don’t know if I want to weep or laugh. This is a rare read, guys, one of those books you come across once, maybe twice a year. If you ever wanted to try one of my recommendations, believe in this one. Infinite stars. [ 2014]
Publisher synopsis
Cooper has spent the last three years running from a painful past. He's currently moving from town to town, working in restaurant kitchens, and playing his violin for tips. As soon as he starts to feel comfortable anywhere—with anyone—he moves on. He's aware that music may be the only human language he still knows. Ironically, the one man he's wanted to communicate with in all that time is deaf.
Shawn is part of a deaf theater group at the nearby college. Shawn wants Cooper as soon as they meet and he begins a determined flirtation. Cooper is comfortable with down and dirty sex, just not people. As far as Shawn is concerned, dirty sex is win-win, but he wants Cooper to let him into the rest of his life as well.
Cooper needs time to heal and put his past away for good. Shawn needs to help Cooper forgive himself and accept that he can be loved. Both men find out that when it comes to the kind of healing love can bring, the sleepy beachside town of Santo Ignacio, “St. Nacho's” as the locals call it, may just be the very best place to start.
Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, male/male sexual practices.
