Clay is hoping that by going somewhere he and his ex have never been, it will help him begin to put the past behind him. That means every Thursday, like clockwork, he shows up at O’Leary’s Irish Pub, orders a beer, and, when he’s done and goes home alone; until he sees Taran, and then everything begins to change. Taran knows Clay is meant to be his; the only problem is getting the man to notice him. Taking a job at O’Leary’s may just be the thing to help him along.
Sculpting Clay, by author Linda Reilly, is a fairy tale with a spin. Clay is almost debilitated after his longtime boyfriend dumps him. By chance, he meets Taran and starts to hope things are changing. The emotions and confusion Clay experiences over the sudden breakup of a long term relationship and starting over with someone new are understandable and come through realistically. Taran is a fairy, and while he knows that Clay is his mate, he knows thing will not be easy between them. Both characters are so strongly written that they grab the reader from the beginning. There were, however, many unanswered questions surrounding Taran and I wish his character would have been explored by the author a little more.
Clay’s ex also comes into play, as he soon shows up after seeing Clay and Taran out on a date. This leads to some angst on everyone’s part and, to tell the truth, I could not decide who made me madder at that point; Clay for falling back to his old ways or Javier for acting as if he had a right to Clay’s time, after the way he left.
Between the passion exhibited by Clay and Taran, and the need to bring a conniving businessman to justice, this story has plenty to keep readers entertained till the last page.
