BOOK BLURB:
Evan lets his co-worker talk him into working a kissing booth at a charity fair, not quite sure what to expect. He certainly doesn't count on meeting Gary, or kissing him, considering his past. Kissing is what he ends up doing, though, along with playing cow pie bingo for a good cause. Will Gary end up being more than a six-ticket ride?
BOOK REVIEW:
Evan is a recently divorced 32-year-old man who has finally admitted to himself that he must be gay. He hasn't acted on it yet, and has mostly just looked and fantasized.
When he is asked to work in a kissing booth at the fair, he's really reluctant, but he's a helpful kind of guy ~ how bad can it be? While waiting his turn in the booth, he buys tickets and participates in various activities, such as cow pie bingo and the dunking booth. In fact, the man he dunks ~ twice ~ in the dunking booth is really hunky.
After an hour of kisses from a variety of women, who should come up with six tickets but the hunk himself? Evan has no experience, but Gary is very attractive. Gary doesn't want to be an experiment, but he loves the idea of being Evan's first time. Will they be able to negotiate something more than a six-ticket kiss?
I loved Cow Pie Bingo (and no, I'm not going to tell you about the title: you'll have to read this story to see what on earth 'cow pie bingo' is!). Addison Albright has a way of making a simple first-time story special. I loved the details and the fair and the flirting and kissing. First-time nerves are set against a backdrop of small-town America, an imaginary world where you know that there will be a happy ending. The joy of reading the story is seeing how the author will take us there. In a funny and romantic way, Evan and Gary are deftly characterized for us. Even in a very short story like this one, you leave smiling and satisfied.
I highly recommend this story. It will leave you smiling!
