Park ranger Emilio Cardenas much prefers being in the woods to spending time with people, but when he gets caught up in a job, he forgets everything else.  When he finally finishes his work, he realizes he’ll be late coming home.  That might not be a big problem for most people, but when your lover is a Greenman, it’s not good to be late…

Chasing Fear is a very cool story of magic, nature, and facing fears.  I liked shy, antisocial Emilio.  His Greenman lover, Martín, is both vulnerable and tough.  Angela Benedetti did a great job of showing the caring between the two men as well as a slice of Emilio’s painful past.  This story is a good read for when you’re in the mood for a little unusual magic.
