Ian McCormac
is an ER nurse with an unusual habit. Every day, he does a
tarot card reading, just to see how things are going in his
life. One morning, he gets a very strange and unexpected
reading. That day, he meets the new ER doctor, Roberto
Valdez. He thinks Roberto is hot, but since he’s pretty
deeply in the closet he knows nothing will come of his
attraction. Then he agrees to give Roberto a tour of the city
and discovers the man’s been living in a hotel due to a fire,
so he invites Roberto to be his roommate. That’s when things
get really strange! Will Ian find love at last, or will the
tarot cards steer him toward disaster?
Finding
the Divine is a quick read with very interesting
subject matter. I don’t know much about the tarot, but the
book gave me a bit of background and explanation, which helped
me understand the significance of Ian’s readings. Uncertain,
closeted Ian was a likeable character, as was the equally
uncertain but more experienced Roberto. I liked the way JL
Jensen used POV-shifts to tell the story through the eyes of
both men, although it took a bit of getting used to at first.
While there were a few pieces of cheesy dialogue and a place
or two where I would have liked a bit more back-story,
overall, Finding the Divine was a fast,
enjoyable read. |
