I really enjoyed this book.  It was interesting how the book was divided into three parts with the first part being from Samuel's point of view, the second part from Rey's point of view and the third, from both.Samuel has moved to small town Pennsylvania from New Mexico to start his life afresh.  He is a police officer who walks a beat.  His route takes him past the Dixie Cup Diner and as is his habit, he stops in to get to know the people there.  He is struck by the friendly Dixie and Jennie as well as the enigmatic Rey who is a good cook.  Samuel makes it a habit to take his break and evening meal there each day to see Rey even though he tries denying it to himself.Circumstances bring the two men to a friendly relationship with sexual benefits though Samuel has to be so careful around Rey's mysterious mood swings. They both like each other, but are tentative because of their pasts.The plot includes both men going through tough situations that still affect them, danger in the present, and fear to try for something special between them in the future.This story would be enjoyable for those who like m/m contemporary romances, small town stories and a little angst.
