This series was recommended to me by my Goodreads friends and I was so glad that I took their recommendations on this wondeful series.Elements of Retrofit is the first in the three books of Thomas Elkin by lovely author N.R. Walker.In Book one we meet Thomas Elkin a divorced architect who comes out later in life at 40 after being married to his wife Sofia and son Ryan. While Ryan seemed to adapt to his father's choice of lifestyle, Sofia still seems to have a hard time adjusting to Tom's choice of partners.Ryan's childhood friend Cooper Jones comes to New York to see his friend Ryan and apply to an intership for a job in New York. While having dinner one night with both Ryan and Cooper, Tom immediately feels an attraction to Cooper. Cooper is very open about being gay and hides nothing, while Tom is still a little private about his lifestyle but Cooper feels senses the same for Tom also.Ends up that Cooper is applying for his intership at the firm that Tom works for because Cooper is also finishing up his degree in architecture....how coincidental. Tom picks Cooper to take under his wing but not for the wrong reason he takes him because he truly belives that Cooper has what it takes to be a great architect.Together while Tom and Cooper start to work together there is a nagging feeling that neither can deny and Cooper just comes right out with it "I want to kiss you" and so it begins. The relationship between these two just gets better and better with Tom totally adoring Cooper and Cooper loving Tom so genuine that he always need to touch Tom whether it's holding his hand, grabing his arm, touching his leg he just needs to feel Tom within his grasp.The storyling is written well in this book with so much warmth between the two men, but what really got me is when Cooper tries to be smart Tom puts him right in his place with his famous saying "You little s***" and Cooper response "It's a Gen Y Thing". Stay tune for book 2 Clarity of Lines.
