Summary

2018-2019 Rainbow Awards Runner-up, Best Gay Contemporary Romance & Romantic Comedy

When a series of personal crises prompt risk-averse research librarian Aaron Templeton to apply for a job on the other side of the country, nobody is more surprised than he is. He nearly runs home before the final interview except for one little problem: he has no home anymore. He put his condo on the market before he left California and it’s already sold. Only an encounter with free-spirited Connecticut native Cody Brown at the Mystic Seaport Museum staves off Aaron’s incipient panic attack.

Cody loves nothing better than introducing newcomers to the great features of his beloved home state, and when the newbie in question is a rumpled professorial type with the saddest blue eyes on the planet? Score! The attraction between the two men deepens as they explore Cody’s favorite spots, but when difficulties arise and Aaron’s insecurities threaten to overwhelm him, will Cody’s love be enough to keep him in Mystic?

Mystic Man is a 32,000-word novella featuring a pertinent internal playlist, suggestive shellfish consumption, and a six-year-old who thinks history should have more girls. HEA guaranteed.

I really enjoyed this short story. It was cute, fluffy and low spice. Right what I needed at this moment.

A lovely low angst romance about two men who find a home in one another. I fell in love with both Aaron and Cody almost immediately, they just so perfect together. They bedin a friendship and from that they just sparkle together. This has all the elements of Ms Russell 's work. It's funny, quirky, with lots of romance, and emotion. The secondary characters are great, I love the whole found family element, and this has it in spades. I also enjoyed Cody's internal playlist, what a great inclusion by the author, especially how it linked to the story. I enjoyed the whole story, but I think that the epilogue was my favourite, it was gratifying to read their sweet HEA. Kirt Graves does a cracking job in bringing both the story and the MCs to life. I loved reading the book, but the audible version takes it to the next level. Such an uplifting tale.

The whole story was so uplifting.

I adored these characters. The story was funny and endearing and the narration was absolutely fabulous, but the fade to black was a let down. Nice HEA

Lovely story but disappointing

Cody is a free spirit, he loves traveling and meeting new people. Aaron likes stability. A series of events leads Aaron to apply for a job at Connecticut where Cody is a volunteer at Mystic Seaport Museum. Cody mistakes Aaron for a tourist and offers to be his tour guide. The two men go sightseeing and soon start developing feelings for each other.
This was a sweet and romantic love story between two different men that completed each other perfectly. It was low angst and beautifully written with a happily ever after. Cody and Aaron had great chemistry and I loved the descriptions of the places they visited. I felt like I was with them going sightseeing. I had a great time listening the audiobook. The narrator brought Aaron and Cody to life beautifully, wonderful voice and fantastic audio quality. I loved it, it was such a fun summer read.

Sweet and fun romance

I think this one is my favourite of all EJ Russell’s novels. Sweet, funny and light. Actually chuckled out loud at times.
