| Ben Richman knew breaking up with Carl was the right thing
to do, he also knew accompanying Carl to a family wedding was
the wrong thing to do, but that was before he set eyes on
David, the breathtakingly sexy best man. David Anderson
reciprocated Ben's interest, and after finding out Ben and
Carl were not together he made that interest known. Accepting
a ride home with David was the highlight of a potentially
disastrous day for Ben and getting to know David better was
definitely the right thing to do, although Carl thought
otherwise.
Carl Young was very handsome, very sexy, very well off and
the self-proclaimed God's gift to the world. He was not the
type of person people walk away from especially not people he
felt were lucky to have him, such as Ben. As Ben and David
acted on their mutual attraction and got to know each other
better, Carl set about making himself a threat to their
relationship.
Odd Man Out was a good portrayal of
relationships gone bad, testing limits and trusting in a new
love. Ben and David had a lot to overcome, such as their
mutual belief that they were not ready for a serious
relationship even though their strong attraction to each other
was much more than just sexual. David's past left him
believing he could never love one man and Carl left Ben leery
of relationships altogether, but in-spite of their fears they
couldn't get enough of each other. I found Carl to be a very
disturbing character, not just for his bow down to me
attitude, but also for the fact that in his sick twisted mind
he believed he loved Ben and his volatile possessive nature
was not a problem. What disturbed me even more was there were
moments when I felt pity for him. This was a very good read,
a definite page-turner. |
