Review: Could be a Better Story
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is an odd sort of story line. Benji is an extremely closeted policeman, but also prone to intsa-love. He falls for it twice. Unable to come out to anyone, he still has no trouble inviting a stranger into his bed for sex, until he meets the second stranger and then it takes longer to invite that one home than it did to jump into sex. There's a great deal of talk about closets and hiding, but almost no angst over any of it. Very little tension in the story. Neal is equally strange. He's an out and proud man who willingly will hide everything in a closet again for Benji. And while I liked each of these characters, neither one is fully developed. Maybe the author is new to character development, or maybe she has no real knowledge for character behavior? I just wish more of the back story was included for each of these characters.
