Bending the Iron

   (2 reviews)
Genres: General Fiction, Romance,
Sub-genres: Drama, Contemporary Romance

Michael feels trapped. In his poor, conservative hometown. In his dead-end job. In caring for his grandfather. Everything changes when he meets Eric, the new curator for the railroad museum. Carefree and refreshingly confident, Eric guides Michael to places he's forgotten, reminding him that it may not be too late to follow his dreams.

Dedicated to everyone who counts the railroad cars of a passing train...

We have read this kind of story a lot on GA what looks like a permanent situation for the protagonist has a chance to change as a results of meeting a special someone and a lot of complication come up while our protagonist is going on this journey. What sets apart these kinds of stories is how the author is her/his  way takes you there.This Author is more then up to it as you'll see

From the desk of one of Gay Authors great authors comes another classic tale of loss, love, duplicitous bosses, and an awaiting future, is the latest enthralling offering from Libby Drew.

A fantastic tale packed in 11 chapters, this one has it all. I mean...how can you go wrong with settings like this...

Outside, the rain had yet to let up. A betting man might say it was coming down even harder than before. He sheltered the bags as best he could with his jacket and made a break for the truck. The door swung open a few seconds before he reached it, and he flung himself up into the cab, handing the bags over as he slammed the door behind him. Water dripped down the back of his neck, making him shiver. “Damn. I hate cold, wet Aprils.”

“Aren’t cold, wet Aprils a given in Pennsylvania?” Eric asked around a mouthful of fries.

Michael rolled his eyes and reached for his seat belt. “You seriously couldn’t wait until we drove the two blocks to your place?”

“Dude, I’m starving.” Eric groped unapologetically in the bag for another handful. “Don’t begrudge me a little appetizer.”
