Jefferson Blythe, Esquire

Written by Josh Lanyon

Narrated by Aaron Landon

In this fast, fun and dead-sexy male/male new-adult caper from multi-award-winning author Josh Lanyon, twentysomething Jefferson Blythe gets lost, gets found, falls in love and comes out…all in the span of one wild summer After his first relationship goes disastrously awry, Jeff Blythe uses his savings to tour Europe—the old-fashioned way. Armed with his grandfather's1960 copy of Esquire's Europe in Style, Jeff sets off looking for adventure but finds much, much more than he bargained for… In London, dodging questions from shady criminals about a mysterious package he most certainly does not have is simple. Losing the gunmen who are convinced he's someone else is not. And when George, an old friend, offers him help—and a place to stay, and perhaps something more—things become complicated. Is George really who he seems? And is Jeff finally ready to act on his attraction? From Paris to Rome and back again, Jeff and George fall for each other, hard, while quite literally running for their lives. But trusting George at his word may leave Jeff vulnerable—in more ways than one.

Can you ever truly make up for hurting someone you love? That’s what Jefferson Blythe is about to find out. There is a mystery here that isn’t easily unraveled... not by the characters or the reader. In addition, there are a number of quirky secondary characters that provide a lot of comic relief, in between murders. Jefferson Blythe is a reluctant hero...to use the word loosely. He’s no super-sleuth by any stretch of anyone’s imagination. He stumbles into the mystery and spends most of the book bumbling his way through it. George, his old friend and new love interest... seems like truly unlikely boyfriend material...and sometimes an unlikeable human being. Having so many familiar archetypes doesn’t necessarily detract from the story. It’s probably why the story seems so complete with only 200 printed pages. It’s a pleasant read and different in tone from this author’s usual writings.

This isn't your usual Josh Lanyon. Well, at least I didn't think it was her usual kind of story. It took me a bit to warm up to the MC's and even now it's finished I'm not sure how I feel about George... I would have given it a higher rating, but the ending was extremely abrupt in my opinion. I could barely rate that a HFN!
