After Shilo discovers that his lover, Chandler, has been unfaithful, he takes his money, cat and belongings and moves from Arizona to Wisconsin to start his life over. He hopes that the new location will allow him to rest, recuperate and heal from his painful ordeal. In a short time he not only has a new home, friends and job, but also a new love, when he accidentally meets Officer Jeffrey Layton. Despite their intense mutual attraction, each man carries enough emotional baggage to sink any relationship. Shilo is still recovering from the pain of Chandler’s betrayal, and Jeffrey lost his partner of five years to inoperable cancer.
To make matters worse, Jeffrey is still deeply in the closet and scared of exposure…scared of what his family and fellow police officers will say. These two damaged men must learn to trust that their love was meant to be, and they have to do it in a town not particularly gay friendly. On top of everything else, there’s also a killer on the loose who brutally murdered a young gay man, and Jeffrey’s determined to find the person responsible before he or she kills again.
The Color of Love and Autumn is a warm, tender and fun ride of emotional healing and the promise of love. Unlike most other gay contemporary romances which lean heavily on the physical aspects of a relationship, this one instead focuses on the emotional connection between Shilo and Jeffrey. It’s a tale of change and growth; Shilo moving from town newcomer, to heavily involved committed citizen. And let’s not forget Jeffrey, who’s afraid to love again, his loyalty to his deceased partner compelling, heart-wrenching and unhealthy. I enjoyed the interaction between these two likable men, but it was often painful to watch as they struggled to throw off the baggage that was holding them captive to the past. The quirky secondary characters made this story shine, giving it a unique and interesting twist which I thoroughly enjoyed.
