Miss Me? by Mel Spenser

If you believe in love at first sight, you will like this one. Andy works as librarian and he meets Nick who is searching a cookbooks. In few minutes, Andy manages to know that Nick is single, gay (he lives in the gayest neighborhood of Houston) and quite a good catch having a good work and a pretty property loft. From that day life seems to go on roller coast and they seem unable to stay far from each other.

Both Nick than Andy's family have the chance to see the two lovebirds together and seal they agreement to the union. But it's not all roses under the sun: Andy has a stalker who is not so happy to see the man have a love relationship, and the situation can become pretty ugly.

All the novel is more centered on the relationship between Andy and Nick than on the stalker problem. Both men are not so young, around thirty, but they are young regarding love. Nick is grown with one night stands and with one only important relationship, ended pretty badly. Andy is suffering from a abandoned child syndrome and every time he has the chance to be near someone else, both for friendship or love, he avoids to be involved; the only real relationship he maintains is with his twin sister, since she passed the same experience as a child.

So when they meet, they are not ready to admit that what they have is love, but it's very clear to everyone else. Everytime Nick or Andy try to put a boundaries to their relationship, soon after they have broken the rule. There are not real problems on their love, and the story is pretty sexy: there is a lot of sex, but of the "old way" type; yes, they experiment a bit, but always inside their couple: from the moment they met, both of them know that they are an unbreakable unit.

Nick and Andy have to face a bit of prejudice during their story, but they are not big obstacle, and all in all they have a good life: young, handsome and wealthy, they are a quite perfect couple. Miss Me? is a rest and relax reading, more since it's also setting for a part in Cancun.
