Handle With Care By Josephine Myles

What Josephine Myles had to say about Handle With Care on Samhain’s Site:
“I surprised myself by writing a May/December romance for my second Samhain m/m romance novel, Handle with Care. What's more, I wrote one featuring an older, hairier man paired up with a nubile young twink. There isn't really that much of an age difference: Ben is thirty-three to Ollie's twenty, but the years feel more than that because Ben is seriously ill and permanently exhausted, whereas Ollie is an energetic, purple-haired skateboarder.”


The best things in life aren’t free…they’re freely given.


Ben Lethbridge doesn’t have many vices left. After raising his little sister to adulthood, he wasted no time making up for the youth he lost to responsible parenting. Two years of partying it up—and ignoring his diabetes—has left him tethered to a home dialysis regimen.

He can do his job from his flat, fortunately, but most of his favourite things are forbidden. Except for DVD porn…and fantasizing over Ollie, the gorgeous, purple-haired skateboarder who delivers it. Their banter is the highlight of Ben’s lonely day, but his illness-ravaged body is the cruel reality that prevents him from believing they’ll do anything more than flirt. Not to mention the age gap. Still, Ben figures there’s no harm in sprucing himself up a bit.

Then one day, a package accidentally splits open, revealing Ben’s dirty little secret…and an unexpected connection that leaves him wondering if he’s been reading Ollie wrong all this time. There’s only one way to find out: risk showing Ollie every last scar. And hope “far from perfect” is good enough for a chance at love.
Product Warnings: Contains superhero porn comics and a cute, accident-prone delivery guy with colour-changing hair. Readers may experience coffee cravings, an unexpected liking for bad mullets, and the urge to wrap Ollie up and take him home.
