Noah Stoffel always kept his personal
life to himself, even though he didn’t have much of one
living in a small town and being a closeted gay man. When
city boy Dexter Krispin arrives to town Noah finds himself
wanting things that he feels he does not deserve.
For Dexter, moving to a small Kansas
town after living in Pittsburgh was a bit of a shock to the
system, but the change of pace was needed to complete his
doctorial thesis. Things began to change for the better when
he finds himself attracted to Noah.
Drawing Noah out of his very private
and routine existence wasn’t easy for Dexter, but the strong
attraction he felt for Noah compelled him to continue
pursuing him even though Noah kept pulling away. As Dexter
draws closer to Noah, secrets of the small town may end
their romance before it begins and destroy Noah in the
process.
Saving Noah is a sweet
story that requires a tissue or two before it’s done. Noah
is a beautifully sweet boy. He puts family and honor before
anything else in his life. Dexter was too big city and fast
moving for Noah and I found him to be a bit top slick at
times, but I did believe that his feelings for Noah were
genuine. Their relationship moves quickly emotionally, but
with the strong connection I felt to Noah I wanted him to
find happiness as soon as possible so I was okay with the
fast pace. I don’t agree with the way the town handled some
serious issues in the story, except heart and lots of love
was behind their actions. Saving Noah ended
with some loose ends where I felt storylines were drop or
forgotten, but on the whole Saving Noah was a
moving story and enjoyable read. |
