Levi Finley is young, hot and has everything going for him so his friends and his mother don’t understand why he would date a middle-aged introvert, who literally says nothing. Levi knows why he stays with the man but when their taunts get into his head, Levi starts second guessing himself – that is until his quiet boyfriend decides to remind him exactly why he stays.
Best Unspoken is a very original story, a premise that had me glued to my seat. The funny thing about this story is that I didn’t completely warm up to the couple but the writing pulled me in and inevitably made me curious to know more about the characters. Levi is young, compared to his forty or so boyfriend Rob. His mother and friends don’t approve and consider his quiet lover “creepy”. I felt bad for Rob; he was judged because of his age and his introverted personality. Levi’s friends, and to a lesser extent, his mother were rather horrible and I was surprised that the character was so easily swayed by their opinions.
Overall Best Unspoken is a premise that would have worked wonderful in a much longer book, where it would have been given more time to develop. The characters’ relationship is fascinating enough and the writing was solid. I felt the story was rather a fragment of their relationship – and in the end left me a tad confused because there was no character development. However, the author has me very interested and I can only hope the author decides to make this story into a more feature length novel.

If this is anywhere as great as his "If I Were A Lady..." I will certainly pick it up.
This is my first time reading anything by this author, and it was a good piece. I hope you enjoy it if you do pick it up.
nice review, Bryl, and it makes the book sound intriguing. Way to go.
