This is not the first book I have read by this author. Eric was a professor in a college where he had to share an office with a proud, young gay professor, Mike. Him being gay was not a problem as he was also, but him being so out there was his problem. Eric had come out in his younger day and his mother took it as a phase that he would outgrow. Him in his forties now lives in a very nice condo that he had inherited. His mother turned up one day, where his father had kicked her out to be with one of his floozies.


Mike had a very different background where he was sent to Germany to live with his grandparents at the age of 4. At the age of 18 when he came out he was shipped back to US where he was stranded. He did very well for himself with a difficult beginning, but he managed to get his PhD and buy his basement apartment, which he was very proud of. Even though they shared an office the atmosphere between them was very cold.


Coming up for Christmas, Eric's mother started getting out her decorations, she was German and had some traditional items that Eric was not happy with. His mother was not happy and after having a good talk to his mother, Eric decided to invite Mike over for dinner on Sunday. His mother being very excited, him not so sure. The dinner was a success and arrangements were made for the following Sunday. As with this author's other book I don't want to spoil your reading experience, but it gets a lot more dramatic in the second half of the book. Another well written M/M book.
