Kelly Kendall wears many hats but he tries to keep securely under his hat the fact that he is the author of Doorways. He’s not ashamed of his book, he just prefers his anonymity and solitude above all else. That’s destined to change when a bet with his houseboy, Will, goes south and Kelly has to pay the price of writing a satirized version entitled Windows. What he didn’t count on was it being read by Jae-sun Fields.
Tabloid reporter Jae-sun Fields is out for blood when he reads Windows. The coming-of-age novel was part of his pinnacle to his own coming out, and he cannot believe a man corrupted what he deems a sacred piece of literature. In fact, he truly believes the culprit is a woman and is ready to out her, by any means necessary.
Soon Jae learns she is truly a he and he has multiple identities to go with his severe case of OCD. But there is still more to learn and when Kelly discovers Jae is snooping, it cuts him to the quick. There is still a great deal to learn about Kelly. Will Jae keep his confidence or will he teach Kelly a lesson about mistrust?
Z.A. Maxfield’s ePistols At Dawn takes us into a cyberworld battle that changes into a real world love affair. Jae is not your average Korean man. His stature alone is heads over the competition but his sharp mind is what will keep you in his company. His conviction over the story and not having a book that touched his life proves he’s a man you wouldn’t want to wage war against. Kelly has more quirks than most could endure, but his wit, giving nature and warmth made him a man Jae wanted to get to know. The men are as opposite as they are alike. While their physical make up is as different as night and day, their love of literature and brilliance seemed parallel. Watching Jae not only embrace Kelly and his quirks without reservation had me smiling. He could have decided the author was too much trouble but Jae saw the true prize covered by insecurities, waiting to be claimed and loved.
Z.A. Maxfield brings the subject of debilitating medical issues such as OCD into this story, along with ethics that some in the reporting field seem to overlook, to the forefront in ePistols At Dawn. However, it’s the subjects of unconditional love, learning to trust, and recognizing true friends as well as embracing friendship that seemed to draw me into this story. I found the story balanced and between the comical conversations and steamy scenes between Kelly and Jae, I couldn’t put this book down. This is definitely a credit to the author’s vast literary works. Readers of the genre will not be disappointed!
