To say this was a slow burn was an understatement. It was the slowest of the slow ... but by god was it good! The passion and tension built up perfectly throughout the book. It wasn't what I expected, much more about self discovery and building a solid foundation for yourself in love.
Really enjoyed it - full of slow-burn satisfaction :)

[Seattle] during the 1990s is beautifully captured here and comes alive in the reader's mind. While I was not in Seattle in the 1990s, myself, I've been given to understand from other readers that the scenes and places discussed are real and recognizable to people who were there.

This Charming Man is a charming, lovely read. There are no difficult hoops to jump through to get into the book. The writing itself is sharp and straightforward. I've read it twice and loved it both times, and both times found a deeper connection to the story and the characters.

I think Gen-Xers will especially identify with this story but it's a great read for all lovers of gay fiction.
