Publisher Description
Henry should have kept on walking by when he spotted the younger man sitting alone on the beach. He should never have stopped, never sat down, and certainly never kissed him. Because now Henry is experiencing feelings. And he doesn’t like it one bit.
Things happen for a reason, even random hook-ups. Ben was supposed to get off work early that night. It was no accident the sexy stranger stumbled on his beach hiding spot. The Kiss was destined, as well as what happened afterward. It wasn’t as if Ben believed in love at first sight, but this was damn close.
It’s a good thing Henry lives three-thousand miles away or he might do something stupid, like ask for Ben’s phone number.
Ben’s hometown boss begs him to return and he agrees, only regretting not being able to say goodbye to his snarky divorce lawyer. But all the wanting in the universe isn’t going to bring them together again, he doesn’t even know Henry’s last name. Besides, home is on the west coast, not Maine.
Sometimes the universe is a funny place.

Very Enjoyable Short Story
Very sweet and solidly written short story, with some very likable (and not) characters. Ben and Henry are a good match for each other and, even though this story is essentially drama free, you still can’t help but root for them. This story would work really well if expanded with the addition of some major angst.
My one major issue with the story is that both Ben and Henry so quick to forego condoms because one was on PrEP and the other tested negative. Neither of those are 100% guarantees and it was a disappointed that two highly intelligent me would go that route without really knowing the one another.
