BLURB: Can a man’s secret yearnings be revealed in a tank full of fish?
Artie Haynes knows he’s nothing special, with just-your-regular-brown hair, a solid plumber’s job, not much education, and a family that can barely get off the couch. But Artie has quirks—like his love of tropical fish, a landlord who’s a professor of existentialism, a passion for the amazing piano music he hears at a concert hall while he’s fixing the bathrooms—and the fact that he’s never come out as gay and probably never will. But when he’s hired to build a guesthouse for the pianist whose music enchanted him, Artie is swept up into an unimaginable world.
Francois Desmarais may be famous, rich, and revered as one of the world’s great classical composers and pianists, but he’s soothed and challenged by the inquisitive, stalwart, protective man in his back yard. When Francois’s terrible fear of crowds turns into a dangerous plot, Artie can stay in the closet or prove just how special he is.
My Review. I'll start my review with the observation that Tara has the cover fairies well bribed. Her Love You So series just keep getting better and better in the cover designs. That said I also have to admit the stories are following that trend too. This one had me from page one and didn't let up for a moment. So much so that for once I did nothing all afternoon but read this story and my dishes are still sat waiting for me to wash them. If you've read any of Tara's books you know what a treat you're in for, and if you haven't yet picked up a book by her then all I can ask is "Why Not?" You won't be disappointed if your book tastes are like mine (which I assume they are or you wouldn't be reading this review).
Thank you so much, Ilona!! What a birthday present! : )
