Gabe Layton comes home early to find his live-in lover of six years engaged in unsafe sex with a younger man. Outraged at the blatant act of his partner, Gabe leaves the apartment before violence could erupt. His first thought is to call his best friend of twenty years, Dean Bannon. Gabe has desired Dean for years, but never acted on it until Dean takes Gabe home to sober up. Gabe kissed his straight friend but instead of rejecting him, Dean responded and wanted more.

Positive Possibilities is a wonderful story of discovery for Gabe and Dean. Gabe is gay and even though he wanted Dean intimately; he accepted that they would never be more than friends. It took Dean years to realize he liked both men and women; information that he never shared with anyone. Shayla Kersten has created an impressive story of friendship growing into love. I enjoyed the reflections of Gabe and Dean as they explore their relationship and the bond they have always shared.
