Catering with Benefits (1) 1. Appetites

This is a gay story that steps outside the box.

Our two main characters are Craig and Justin. They first meet when Craig is Justin's nurse whilst he's in hospital. 

Craig is a rather sedate person and Justin is a bit of an exhibitionist, but they work well together when forming there new business. But this story is not just about Craig and Justin, we also meet there fantastic friends.

There are some very interesting experiences for our friends throughout the story. We meet some good people and some not so good people.

A great insight into the lives of a group of friends, that prove the Australian suburban  lifestyle is anything but dull.

A fantastic read and I look forward to Book 2 of Craig, Justin and friends adventures.

I admit to being a little biased as the story is quintessentially Australian and, being Australian myself I am able identify with much of the language and settings of this wonderful story.

The author, Wombat Bill, has a wicked and quirky sense of humour as demonstrated quite often in the chapter titles and the inspiration for the titles. Witty repartee between the characters, particularly if Edward is involved, is one of the many attractions of this story.

The story is character-driven. Wombat Bill plants his characters, warts and all, in settings both ordinary and melodramatic, realising characters that are believable and for the most part likeable.

The introduction of the additional characters into the lives of our protagonists Craig and Justin is never forced; the said characters woven into their lives in a rich tapestry of events, expanding their horizons both in business and their private lives which s a joy to behold.

A beautifully written story that kept me intrigued, delighted and wanting more from beginning to end.
