Precious Ache by Amanda Young

[reviews_and_ramblings]

I have a kink (only one?!?): I like stories where the two partners have different height... is there a name for this type of kink? Anyway, when I read the blurb of this story I knew that I would like it: one of the main character is 7 feet and 6 inches tall!

Dave is a shy geek young guy. 24 years old, he grew faster than the other guys, and I don't mean in physical way. He lost his parents when still a child and was raised in various foster homes; he couldn't wait the day when he turned 18 years old and went to College, since in that way he would be independent. The loneliness he brought from the foster house, follows him in his adult life, and now Dave is an independent professional web designer, with no one to refer to. But this also means that he seldom has the chance to meet someone, and his social life is a mess. Hating to draw attention everytime he steps out of home, he prefers to stay hidden; if he wants sex, he has no problem, he can simple enter a club and cruise a man to take to a backroom... when speaking of sex, no one complains about his measures. But now Dave wants something more, he wants a relationship. And this is when he meets again Micah, one of the guys who shared with him a foster home for some months, and the protagonist of a lot of his juvenile wet dreams.

Micah was and still is a good guy, the boy next door type, the bachelor whose house is always open to friends. But he is also a divorced man with still a ring on his hand, maybe memento of a lost love? Dave can't avoid to frequent the man, and he wants to frequent him, even if is a sweet ache having him around, but in no way he can let slip what he really feels for his friend.

Dave is a blind man, he can't see in him all the good quality he has, and so, in a way, he presents himself badly to the other people. But he is really young, only 24 years old, and so it's not too late to find someone who helps him to come out from his lair. And Micah, with his generosity and positive attitude is the right man.

A medium long story, less than 80 pages, without much twist and turn; it's really only a story of guy meets guy, guy falls in love for guy, guy "marries" guy (in the figurative meaning, not literally). They even have a dog per one, and when there is a dog around, especially a puppy, the story is for sure a sweet romance.
