Here on GA, I am always on the lookout for story content from authors I haven’t read before.  As an aside, I’m personally looking for content outside the paranormal thriller/romance genre that has gained immense popularity on the site in the last couple of years.  So just recently I ran across this story by Ajbt2001, who joined our little community just a few years ago, but already has a number of finished stories published here.  

In a New Family Unit, two single gay fathers with teenage gay sons are living in a duplex together.  Sheer proximity, and attraction binds all of them together.  The two fathers Sam and Taylor quickly begin dating.  Their sons, Cillian and Devon, who also share an attraction,  opt for getting to know each other and becoming friends first.    

Moving from the opening, the story is very much in the title a newly forming family unit of these four living together.  However, it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows.  The story does have its conflicts, with some surprising past connections, and darkness from the past resurfacing in the present. 

I will say, it’s not entirely a perfect story, as a lot it feels like too much too soon.  The two boys, who are 14, often times feel like much younger characters.  Also, each character could use a more distinctive voice and personality. 

That all being said, it’s a fun little tale of romance and the journey of building a new family.  It’s an easy read at only nine chapters, and it’s bound to put a smile on your face.
