Oliver's been stuck in the hell that is writer's block for what feels
like ages. He's out of ideas, neglecting his life, and all around losing his
mind. His partner has had enough. Adam's tired of watching Oliver stare blankly
at the screen. It's time to bring back his spark, and he knows just what to do.
A vacation is in order. A beautiful beach, a sparkling waterfall, and lots of
love should put everything to right.
Another sweet, sexy short story!
Unlike many other short stories Catching Light doesn’t shove a whole lotta
story into a tiny package, Meg Harding concentrates on a week vacation, and it
fit perfectly into this charming novella.
Oliver is a writer and experiencing some hellish writers block, his
husband Adam thinks a change of scene will help him get the ideas moving and a
story on paper. Oliver reluctantly
agrees and they take off for a week of vacation, hopefully a relaxing time but
Adam has other plans. He schedules,
hikes, cliff diving, surfing, snorkeling, and a myriad of other action adventure
activities.
This is a sweet story, and although we were slightly confused if Adam
and Oliver are living together or married, it is a fun little snippet into an
already established relationship. There
is no drama, no angst, and whether in a relationship or not we can all put
ourselves in this couple. They sneak
kisses, get some loving under a waterfall, and just re-connect in their relationship
which makes Oliver’s writings block crumble.
If you have an hour and want to read a light, fun, sweet story Catching
Light by Meg Harding is not to be missed!
