Read in the volume "Waiting for the Flood."
Chasing the Light is the other, longer novella in this new edition. Marius (Edwin's ex, whose absence looms large for Edwin in Waiting for the Flood) falls and injures his ankle on Christmas Eve (as someone recovering from a broken ankle, I was certainly very concerned about this) and is rescued by Leo, a large man with a canal boat. This one has more of the frenetic energy I associate with Hall. Marius is a wounded animal, constantly lashing out with sarcasm, barbs, and flirting. It's a miracle that He and Leo manage to connect. It's also very satisfying in that we get to see more of Edwin and Adam (whose relationship had barely begun in the previous novella) and trust that their HEA is lasting. Still good - more of a four star read, though.
A couple of lovely novellas.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book (Waiting for the Flood with this as the bonus novella). All thoughts and opinions are my own.
