Elements of Retrofit by N.R. Walker was a beautiful story that gave justice to many issue that plague today’s society. Thomas was a gentleman in his early forties who a few years previously divulged his sexuality to his family. Married from a young age and raising a son, he lived his life in denial until he realized this issue was not going away nor was it fair to his family.Connor, an up and coming architect and friend of Thomas’ son Ryan landed the internship of a lifetime at the architect firm where Thomas worked. The attraction between the two men was immediately apparent, flirtatious and spontaneous; Thomas feared involvement with the young man.Ms. Walker delivered smart sass and as the two men choreographed the dance of attraction and companionability.  Connor was Gen Y personified as he zinged Thom with his quips and humor, all the while falling deep for the man old enough to be his parent. Ms. Walker’s style of writing was fresh and tender as she enabled the two men to traverse their attraction and any stigmas associated.Elements of Retrofit was a subtle reminder that seasoned and new are able to meld into a new  existence where mutual satisfaction is achieved.I adored Tom’s character, his almost shy demeanor in his feelings for Connor and the way he approached their relationship. N.R. Walker’s new series is one this reviewer looks forward to as the lives of Thomas and Connor are further revealed.book provided by the publisher for the purpose of an honest reviewreviewed by evelise
