Favorite quote:Review: Lyle has a good job in Harrisburg, PA, but he has no life. He and his boyfriend split up and Lyle goes to work, comes home with a takeout dinner, then falls asleep on the couch in front of the TV every day. The friends he still has worry about him but are powerless to change his routine. Then he is offered a job in nowhere, Kansas.Meanwhile in Kansas, Roger is in a tailspin following his divorce from his shrew of a wife and his own consignment to the closet of a gay man in a small town. Roger has friends who try to keep him from falling off the wagon of a recovering alcoholic. He has a smart, sweet daughter, who lives with her mother in Chicago but spends the summer with Roger in Wamego, Kansas, and she is Roger’s world.It was fun to see the two men eye each other on Lyle’s first day in Wamego. Everyone else noticed, too. It’s a small town. The question becomes, will Lyle and Roger overcome their pasts enough to find meaning in a new relationship. For Roger that means letting go of his fears for his daughter. For Lyle it means making what was a temporary change permanent.Another really sweet story from Andrew Grey. There is some angst from a couple of certifiable crazies, but it’s an Andrew Grey story so all you have to do is wait to find out how he gets his heroes out of the pickle they are in and on to their HEA. I can see Dumped in Oz being one of my go-to comfort books to re-read again and again. I loved this book so much and really didn’t want it to end, so I was thrilled to see this is #1 in a new series set in Kansas. Mr. Grey: bring it!Review originally appeared at mrsconditreadsbooks.com/index.php/?p=16875
