Stanley Shulze came to Boulder ten years ago. He had a business degree , a minor in art and a job as a yarn buyer. He spent the good part of that time, going to all the night spots, clubbing, and sexing. Life in Boulder was different from where he came from, Boulder offered a great gay community and he was going to enjoy every minute of it!Rance Crawford made deliveries to the yarn shop called Ewe'll Love This, where Stanley worked. Stanley eagerly noted Mr Crawford checking him and his fine butt out on his first visit. That was the day he sorta became exclusive without thinking about it.  Five years Stanley and Rance had this adventure in the bathroom or the delivery closet with a condom and a bottle of lube. This all ended when Rance met a nice guy and settled down with Ben.Stanley looked out the window of the yarn shoppe, wondering how this all happened. He did not want that " club scene" anymore, and if he was ever going to meet some one, that was where he needed to go back to; as he shuddered. Leaving town was not an option, he had roots here after ten years and loved Alice the owner and his boss. After selling yarn to  old and young alike, he decided to become a `user' and learn more about the craft than the seed stitch. It was the day before Thanksgiving....when he bought two skeins of wool and some needles. Now after his first attempt at a scarf, he was a Knitter !Rance and Ben came to the shop on Black Friday to ask Stanley for a favor. Adriane, very pregnant was being sent to the hospital in Boulder for complete bed rest and they asked if Stanley could stop in on her for company. It was then Stanley realized "Being by yourself meant you weren't by yourself after all".  He now had a purpose. With Adriane out of Rance's shop, Aiden and Jeremy would stop delivering and he would have a new delivery guy. Oh my my...enter Johnny.Too bad Stanley was in such a hurry to get to the hospital, he fussed and berated the "new delivery guy" and actually called him Jethro. The scene is hilarious until he looks up into those beautiful brown eyes when Johnny calls him "cupcake" and he sees the eye candy and his mind says Holygodshootmenow !Amy you have done it again, brought me to the brink, allowing me into a little world you have created with loving folks that inhabit this little piece of Boulder Colorado. Of course the road you take us on is not always smooth,  as in life. The possibility the past can come back to bite a person is always there, the world is not always pretty, it can be a scary place and people sometimes suck. But after you have pulled us over the hot coals of angst and fear, we can always depend on you to also let us feel love and family and hope.I love your writing Amy Lane, there is no story I do not gain something from. I commend your honor, your skills and your love for writing...Keep it up and that will keep me a reader.Review by Gloria LakritzSr Reviewer and Review Chair for the Paranormal Romance Review Team
