You Know Me As Lad

Spencer & Emilio Sugar Pops

Cute and sweet. Really, really sweet like rock candy lollipops. This was a very uncomplicated story and I was totally cool with that.

Emilio Sanchez is a 22 year old electrician who works with his brothers for his family's thriving contruction business. They're buolding an addition on the local university and that's where Emilio spots Spencer Derdinger, a 38 year old math professor. Spencer is an adorable, buttoned up, geeky guy who wears sweater vests, blushes, and has a little bit of sexy grey in his hair. Emilio is totally gone on his object of affection and waits for a long time for the perfect opportunity to talk to Spencer.

I really liked Spencer. He's shy, older than most M/M characters, suffers from erectile dysfunction, and though his self-esteem is not great that somehow makes him more endearing. He's just a nice guy. He's also super cute, which Emilio tells him all the time. Emilio was also great. He's young but he's mature and knows what he wants in life. One of the things he wants is Spencer and he goes after the man but in a really adorable way. Emilio is all about making Spencer happy, and letting Spencer know just how special he is. Emilio is just IN LOVE from day one.

The age difference in this book might discourage some from reading it but I would say to give it a try. The age difference is handled really well and the relationship never seems unbalanced.

*sigh* Did I mention how SWEET this book is? Because it is. I adored it and it will definitely become one of my comfort reads.
