I really enjoyed this slice-of-life novel about an ex-Army computer geek and cute barista. Matt Halston is coming off a bad break-up - with a woman - and his friend Sam is constantly trying to fix him up with any available women they know. Matt isn't interested, but when he meets Christian Flannery at a party he feels an instant connection with the other man. What begins as friendship quickly builds to more than that and Matt must re-evaluate his sexuality in light of his attraction to Christian.What I really liked about Where You Least Expect it was that in this Gay-For-You story, there wasn't a lot of angst and drama about Matt's coming out. Yes, he had doubts, but they were dealt with matter-of-factly. At the core of this book was the slow build-up of Matt and Christian's relationship and how they deal with things as a couple. As a reader who appreciates non-angsty novels, this was a charming break from high drama, intrigue and murder/mayhem.Even though I have never read any of M. Durango's books before, I am making note of this author. I truly enjoyed their style, wit and way with words. They go on my auto-buy list from now on. Recommended.Dark Divas Reviews
