Blurb
Everyone knows Curtis Wilson around the Soho business scene: a hard-working, budding young entrepreneur, who can get you supplies of whatever you need, and always with a joke and a laugh. Only Curtis knows that’s a purely public persona. Secretly, he’s still licking his wounds after being beaten up by his ex-lover, and he’s not about to let his guard down again.
Handsome Riley Richmond was born to be a cowboy, on his father’s side at least. But after his parents’ deaths, he finds himself stranded this side of the Atlantic, an anachronism in the bustling capital, and without financial capital. His consolation is his music, albeit he’s not a very successful busker and he loses his only decent piano gig after standing up for Curtis against a homophobic bully.
After that, they keep meeting, partly by accident, partly by Riley’s design. He’s smitten, and doesn’t mind letting Curtis know. Their music brings them together – Riley’s guitar playing and Curtis’ sharp, sexy poetry are a powerful combination. But Curtis still has some unfinished business with his ex-lover that he’s struggling to handle on his own. Riley intends to be the man Curtis calls on for help, whether he likes it or not. He’ll do whatever it takes to show Curtis that people can still be trusted to be honest and caring – even if it means walking them both into danger.
REVIEW
My Rating - 4 Stars!
Pluck and Play is classic With a Kick series fun.
Riley and Curtis are a mixed-up couple, but together they can start to open up to one another, and hopefully help one another out.
They have to deal with an alcoholic and abusive ex, threats, a whole lot of family issues, and some more. Through it all, they remain sweet and lovable.
I must admit to absolutely loving the reason for why they met. Classic With A Twist content here! And, of course, one of the main charms of this series is the constant appearance of former characters, as they add humor, heart, help and friendship!
