Book Chat: The Handyman Can by Lily G. Blunt

I went to an author’s meetup the other day – my very first one! Upcoming releases were discussed with great enthusiasm and at fast and furious speeds, almost too rapidly to update my TBR list in the middle of it all.

Here’s one of those stories, The Handyman Can by Lily G. Blunt, something hot and sweet to enjoy with a glass of wine and that one reviewer called a “bathtub read.” Which sounds just perfect for a Saturday night!

The Handyman Can is available from Pride Publishing now and on general release from Tuesday, 1st March. And because she’s extra nice, Lily G. Blunt has even let me have an excerpt. Enjoy!

Blurb

After moving into his new house, Alex Sucre employs the three good-looking Fernando brothers as handymen to maintain his home and garden. He’s immediately attracted to Michael, the youngest, and enjoys watching his muscle-packed body through his study window as he works.

After a spate of burglaries in the area, one of Alex’s neighbors accuses the brothers of the thefts. Alex is reluctant to believe that any of them could be responsible, as their business is thriving and they appear to be honest men. But once that seed of doubt has been sown, Alex wonders whether they can be trusted.
Should Alex confront Michael with his suspicions and risk destroying their newly formed relationship?

Excerpt from The Handyman Can by Lily G. Blunt

All it took was the clack of the garden gate closing. Alex Sucre’s breath paused, his heart raced. He shot a look from the spreadsheet on his laptop to the digital clock at the top corner of the screen.

Mmm… He’s early today.

Alex waited in case he’d misheard, but there it was, the gritty roll of the lawn mower on the path down the side of his house. Warm excitement rippled through him—his breath quickened, his heart pounded just that bit faster. He peered through the slats of the Venetian blinds strung across the study window and out into the garden, waiting expectantly. His cock stirred, a familiar and very welcome tingle. Alex was already anticipating what, or who, he was about to see.

Several whirrs of the motor’s pull cord rattled the near silence until it caught and the lawn mower burst into life, filling the quiet of the house. Alex leaned forward, adjusting the blinds, ready to ogle his gardener as he strode across the lawn. In his eagerness, Alex scattered papers onto the wooden floor.

Damn it!

He scooped them up and slapped them back down by his keyboard. Alex moved beside his desk, to one side of the window, not wanting to be caught snooping already.

Come on. Come on. Hurry up!
