Review of `Their Plane from Nowhere' by Princess SoBe R.L. BaileyGenre: M/MSTAND ALONE5/5 angel wings for story4/5 flames for heat.The first thing I noticed about `Their Plane from Nowhere' by Princess So, is that the two hero's in the story, Hank and Earl are not young, tight, hot bodied men. No, these two fine gents are in their fifties, have had decades of secret weekends, stolen time and finally the chance to be together.The story starts out as Earl comes to their cabin in the Poconos; the one Earl gifted Hank with keeping, a legacy from Earl's late Uncle William. After arriving, he spies an old, beat up plane at the dock, just sitting there. Wondering what the hell, Earl decides to clean up the old biplane, and when he comes out of the shed, the plane is mysteriously gone.Getting anyone to believe him is futile, until Earl sees it for himself.  Life goes on for the two men, since neither can figure out what the ghost plane is supposed to mean. Earl's life is one misery after another, being married to Gracie, a shrewish, harpy who took great delight in making our boy miserable. Hank is a widower, but his Emma was a polar opposite. When Hank had come out to her, she offered him a divorce, and only a terrible accident which took his family, and left Emma on deaths door, stopped that from happening. As Emma was dying, Earl and Hank moved her to the cabin, where she passed, surrounded by the love of not only Hank but Earl as well. The men had talked of Earl finally breaking free and had decided to wait another few years, that is until Earl's daughter had a baby of her own. Surrounded by what family at what should have been the happiest time of Earl's life, he has a revelation."Guess I went and done somethin' else, myself too." Earl let out another sigh and his gaze drifted up toward the ceiling. "I tell you, babe, one look at that baby-girl and seein' the family all happy"--Earl shook his head--"and yet I couldn't be happy with them 'cause you weren't there with me."Of course it doesn't go over well and at the baby's christening, all hell breaks loose. It is Earl's daughter who decides she loves her dad, and doesn't care who he loves.Now, about the plane....well, that's a spoiler and I never do spoilers, as a reader I want to find out things by myself and I don't want a reviewer or anyone else taking the joy outof discovering what's next. But let me just say this... you WILL NEED tissues when the truth comes to light.The story is written in the voice of the men, and it could be disturbing for those purists who demand perfection of the written word. After a couple of pages, I decided that it fit the overall theme of the book. Hank and Earl are both well rounded, well developed characters and it is very easy to fall in love with them. The story is a fast but fulfilling read. The sex scenes are hot and my only complaint is there wasn't enough.Fans of Princess  So won't be disappointed in `Their Plane from Nowhere'. I read it all in one sitting, and it's one I will read again.arc given for fair and honest review
