Coming out

Book 2 of Safe Harbor was even more spicier than the first one. I loved it, there’s a reason why I reread it! As in See the Light, the characters are so lifelike and so well written that they have stepped out of the page for me. Did I mention that I loved it? Here’s what happens in the story:Vladimir Gusev exists in a living hell. A year ago in the Olympics he was forced to use a homophobic slur during a game, and guilt is eating him from the inside out. Not only is Vladimir not a homophobe, but in the aftermath of the Olympics he was finally able to admit his true nature to himself. But he's been taught homosexuality is a sin, so he tries to push away his feelings, to no avail.Joe Bufford is an out gay man and an ex-Delta Force member who was medically discharged after an injury to his hand leaves him no longer able to perform his duties. His job as a mechanic at the airport is hardly a long-term career choice, but Joe has no idea where he can utilize the skills he learned in the Army.Vladimir and Joe meet, and Joe instantly recognizes Vladimir as a terrified closet case. Before he knows it, Joe is offering to help Vladimir figure out what he is and what he wants. As time goes on, Joe begins to hope more and more that the answers to those questions lie with him.A small inconsistency about names was what bothered me, but the story was so good that I could read over it, maybe it's corrected now.
