REVIEW: Out of Focus by A.L. Lester

 

Review: 

This is a really neat quick read. A slow-burn romance (as slow as you can get with a short story!) with some great character development. 

When Luke ends up caring for Alex the two are finally forced to address the feelings they’ve been harboring for one another.  Turns out they aren’t far apart in that department.

I would love to read a full-length novel by this author to see what they do in that space.

Stars: 4

Synopsis:

Alex has never quite believed he's good enough. Not as a person and not as a lighting technician. He hates that however hard he tries he can’t get his boss, Luke, to like him. In the two years he’s been in the job it’s become a Thing with him and he’s got a huge crush on the man. He needs to move on for his own sanity and his career and he’s just about to accept a job at a bigger theatre when one of the volunteers he’s bedded and dumped pushes him off a ladder.

Luke likes Alex a lot and has done since the day he walked through the door of Theatre Fawr two years ago. He doesn’t date his staff though or do casual—and Alex is the epitome of casual. So Luke keeps his distance despite Alex’s constant flirting.

Will Alex’s injury give Alex and Luke the push they need to open up to each other? Or will Luke’s inadvertent discovery that Alex has a secret job offer push them further apart?
