Not Perfect, But Striving to Be
Joshua is a ballet student moonlighting as a mechanic in his uncle's garage. When fireman Elias' truck breaks down nearby, he heads to the garage, and gets more than he bargained for when he sees Joshua.
The two men decide that their mutual attraction is worth exploring, but the situation is far from perfect. Joshua isn't sure a firefighter is for him, and Elias doesn't know if Joshua is right for him, either. Nothing is perfect, but will Elias and Joshua find enough common ground to keep them together?

I found this story very hard to read because it's written in a storyteller version of present tense.
Example:
Elias loves his truck, he really does, it has carried him for many, many miles, but she’s a bitch to maintain and she always breaks down at the most inopportune moments -like right now, for example. He’s just come off a twenty-hour shift, his hair stinks of smoke, and all he wants is to sleep before he gets called in again.
The story is interesting, and I think this new author is one to watch. Her descriptions of Joshua and Elias are very colorful (see excerpt above!, and their inter-reactions are believable. The notion of a ballet dancer and a fireman is entrancing: opposites do attract. I just wish it had been easier to read.

Not a fan of present tense writing, and the end left a little something to be desired, but overall an enjoyable story.
