Finding Shelter

I very much enjoyed how this romance played out!
Justin's story is slightly stereotypical - he is a gay boy from a small town with a drunk and abusive father. After one bashing too many, he flees to Rock Bay where his cousin Travis lives. His cousin works in Lex and Tally's coffee shop but is leaving town which means Justin can take his job.
The characters from the first two books all make an appearance (no significant storylines) but enough to offer their support to Justin. Justin does not have any friends, is not really very used to people and is still nervous.
\"At least Rock Bay was big enough to have a few other fairies. Sure, they were a little too old to really be his friends in anything other than the boss and mentor category, but it made Justin feel better to know they were there.\"
Logan, Mason's best friend from book 2, is a straight guy who turns out not to be so straight after all! He is instantly attracted to Justin's beautiful looks.
\"And you're not even a little freaked by it? Justin's a guy, Loogs. You're straight.\"
\"I guess everyone has their exception.\"
I loved the way the relationship was handled with neither man rushing into anything. Firstly they don't share their feelings with each other, Justin because he thinks Logan is straight and Logan because he doesn't want to make the first move on the fragile Justin. Once the first move is made, the sexual exploration is also handled gently. \"It was so new for both of them: Logan with a guy, Justin with anyone at all.
The plot was a little formulaic with some drama provided by Justin's father but the book is more focused on the emotional journey as the two men realise that they are looking to a future together and what they have is not temporary.

The story is less emotionally charged than the summary suggests. However, that doesn't make it any less good, exactly the opposite. I liked how there weren't that many \"big drama queen\" moments and how the book had an overall relaxed vibe to it.
The end was a bit open (more like incomplete) but I think that is ok because I'm sure we'll see more of this couple in the next Rock Bay series books.
