Jeffrey relocates to the city from his small hometown seeking employment. He is over- qualified for his new job but knows that with a little hard work, he can move up in the company. Jeffrey’s father has told his son he is too soft-hearted. And unlike his father, Jeffrey believes some of the homeless people he comes across are in their predicament because of a string of bad luck.

Shane, a homeless man, is working through the trauma of his memory loss. Jeffrey approaches him with a goodwill gesture and Shane can’t believe his luck. Since waking up in the ER, Shane has gained firsthand knowledge of how cruelly homeless people are sometimes treated. A befalling conversation over a shared cup of coffee leads Shane to agreeing to spend the night in the comfort of Jeffery’s home.

Reaching out to those in need is what Jeffery does in The Perfect Gift. Jeffrey knew that Shane needed his help and gave him an offer he couldn’t refuse: refuge for the night. Despite the physical attraction he held for Shane, Jeffrey just saw someone who was lonelier and worse off than he was himself. Shane was nervous about accepting help from a stranger. But Jeffery made him comfortable and eased his doubts. The sex was charged and laced with an amount of caring neither man could express with mere words. The characters are witty and realistic. I love how Jade has brought the plight of our homeless to the forefront in this erotic romance. The Perfect Gift has been my introduction to Jade Falconer and I look forward to reading more literature by this talented author.
