An Eskay Kabba story (no affiliation whatsoever).
Crash Into Me
This is a 22k words story about two men, Cam (Cameron) and Matt. Cam is queer, about 25, a bartender who dances every Thursday night. Matt is 49, newly divorced, and definitely interested in feminine men.
They collide -- literally -- on the highway, when Cam bumps his car into Matt’s.
The story is yet another MM romance written by a woman, and it shows, for better and worse. On the plus side, it’s emotional, with beats that are thoughtfully conceived and generally well executed, even if they tip into melodrama now and then. The prose is solid -- comfortably above mere competence.
On the downside, the author’s identity is very present on the page. You’ll definitely learn her political views. This is no Jorge Luis Borges ("Everybody knows my opinions, but as for my dreams and my stories, they should be allowed their full freedom, I think. I don't want to intrude into them, I'm writing fiction, not fables"). And yes, she’s a woman: if you’re a man, you’ll once again be reminded that writing the other gender is a delicate business and hard to get right. If you’re a woman, you’ll probably be fine with it.
