Accountant Randy Ohara has been alone and lonely since the death of his first and only lover. While in New York to attend his sister's wedding he develops an instant and strong attraction to an unknown man at a Manhattan nightclub. The desire he feels is surprisingly intense, making Randy realize he's never wanted another man with such passion before. It's even more of a surprise when Randy learns that the stranger he lusts for is none other than Jason Chen, the groom's widowed father. Randy doesn't dare make a move on the sexy older man, until the handsome detective reveals a few secrets of his own.

She often writes in the romance sub-genres of contemporary, historical, and paranormal.

Barbara lives in Pennsylvania and loves hearing from readers and others who share her interests, as well as being able to “meet� them via social media.

October 7, 2013I really enjoyed this. I've read reviews where people claim that because these guys are Japanese/Chinese they can't connect to them, which is, dare I say it? vaguely suspicious, because these are still *people*. And real people, too. So whatever, just because these aren't white Caucasians doesn't ruin the book or the characters. What nonsense.
Okay, off my soap box now. I liked this. Barbara Sheridan is excellent with sexual tension, and made my commute very interesting. *coughs* I liked the guys, the writing, the style, the energy. I liked the game of fantasizing and denial and a moment where you go "oh noes, they won't". But they do, and everything turns out well. It's a well-formed story, but I would have wanted more, much more. Perfect as a snack - I just sometimes want that three-course-meal, especially when I like the characters and the writing.

I was lucky enough to win this short in a promo on Slash and Burn. It was 50 pages and was a good read. There may be a sequel which will be interesting. I thought the main characters moved pretty fast (within 5 days he’s going to retire from the police force and move to Hong Kong with his son’s BIL, but hey, they only had 50 pages.) I enjoyed it though and would definitely check out where it goes next.

March 27, 2009Do you believe in love at first sight? after reading this book maybe you will have another proof it exist.
Randy is a japanese-american guy who works at Honk Kong and returns to New York for the wedding of his little sister, Emmy. He is 34 years old and in his life he has had only a lover, Henry, who was his first love at 18 years old and sadly died in a car accident. Now he is alone and more he aging, more he feels the loneliness.
Jason is the chinese-american dad of Danny, the groom. He meets Randy in a club and it is love at first sight. He is 50 years old and since his wife died, he has never had a lover, female or male. Really he didn't love his wife, it was an arranged marriage, and it was a serene marriage, but not else. And now he suddenly feels this passion for this young man, and he knows he must follow this urge, cause life is to brief and tomorrow can disappear.
Randy and Jason are two fatalistic characters, they flow the events. They are quite but passionate, and let the feelings drive their actions. This is a rather short novel, you can read it in a beat, but as always Barbara Sheridan and Anne Cain draws two perfect characters with only few words.

Cute, hot, and sweet! Two lonely men fall in love during a wedding joining their families.
I'm tickled the main characters, Jason and Randy, first meet during a JRock concert that neither particularly enjoys. I also like that both men are widowers, after a fashion, and closer to middle-aged than many of the m/m romance couples I've read. The secondary characters, Dan and Emmi, were great fun as well. They're an adorable couple, and provided comic relief that punched through the main characters' loneliness--and, occasionally, their attempts to fix said loneliness with one another.
Of course, the story wasn't perfect--no story ever is. I think the ending came abruptly, and was accompanied by dialogue that seemed too sappy for the characters as I'd come to know them.
While I wish the story continued beyond Jason and Randy's first time, I had fun reading it as is, and I'm sure others will too.

It was fine the story moved a bit fast and may have benefited from a few extra chapters and epilogue.
