Reactions and Reviews

"Conundrum" is loved as a first-time story that is sweet and romantic and tension built. Love Doyle with nature. Seeing him through Bodie's eyes was just...SO romantic.[1]

... the possible romantic possibilities of a gay man who assumes his tryst with his previously straight partner will be as fleeting as his other relationships? Yes, this definitely has possibilities. But, it has been done. In CONUNDRUM Bodie and Doyle are overtaken by passion in the woods after which Bodie treats it casually, while Doyle (it was his first time ~ ahhh!) gets a bit bugged. Bodie takes off and is driving back to town fuming at Doyle's attitude and gets to "it isn't as if it was his first time.." Car screeches to a halt. Big "oops" on Bodie's part. [2]
