Genre: Gay Erotic Romance, Historical, M/M
Rating: 4.5 Nymphs
Literary Nymphs Reviewer: Scandalous Minx
Spencer’s move from Vermont to Greenwich Village was a good choice. His job as a night shift druggist is a rewarding career. His friendship with old schoolmate Leo is pleasant and soon provides a few rewards he never anticipated. When Leo shows up for help, Spencer believes he understands what he needs to cure what ails him. There’s a mix-up in the translation, and before it’s corrected Leo shows Spencer A Fine Cure from Fennel Seed.
The setting for this story is 1932, a time where homosexuality was still a criminal offense, and the United States was going through an economic change. Spencer knew he had an attraction to Leo, but not a clue of how deep it really went. Leo has wanted Spencer for too long, but refused to cross the line of friendship without some indication that Spencer was prepared to experience ecstasy. While their first encounter showed Spencer’s innocence, it also gave a glimpse of passion and the depth of Leo’s caring for his friend. The supporting cast takes some of the weight off the couple to entertain us, and allows a few moments of laughter and light-hearted banter. I’m not sure if there will be a sequel, but I’ll be the first in line ready to read what Spencer and Leo have decided to do about their new level of friendship.
