BOOK BLURB:
A man of few words, Joe is a hard-working farmhand who likes his simple, uncomplicated life. Ed is satisfied with his existence as an auto mechanic, but thrilled when an unexpected development in his life allows him to help Joe realize a dream.

It forces them, however, to reevaluate the casual, undefined nature of their relationship. They're too macho to speak of love, and neither would ever dream of acknowledging he doesn't really mind when it's his turn to bottom. When life throws them a curve ball, and the rules of their game get old, Ed makes an effort to take every aspect of their relationship up a notch. Will Joe be able to adapt to the open sentimentality Ed's injecting into their relationship, let alone the new spice in their bedroom activities?

BOOK REVIEW:
I loved this book. Addison Albright's stories never disappoint, but with Cultivating Love, she's kicked it up a notch. This book caught and held my attention, I laughed and cried with Ed and Joe, and I was really sorry when the book was over. I think a five-star book is one that you keep thinking about the next day, running through special moments again, till you have to go back and just read it again just to make sure you didn't miss anything. I highly recommend this book.

Ed and Joe are two regular working guys who just happen to be gay. They've accepted their sexuality, the sex is awesome, but they aren't about to be mushy about it. They really don't even talk about it except to laughingly keep close track of whose turn it is to be on top. When Ed's life changes suddenly due to an unexpected inheritance, it throws everything a little off-kilter. Suddenly they are separated for a while and they miss each other a lot more than they expected. And they're moving to a very different life, which means they need to awkwardly define the permanency of their relationship in words. Their lives swirl in new directions with new joys, new fears and new sorrows, but they are together.

This is an m/m romance with ordinary people, living in ordinary places, getting on with their lives. It's a joy to spend time with these two guys. I fell in love with Ed and Joe and I think you will, too.
