Homebird by Amy Lane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Yeah, this one totally did it for me. I wasn't quite sure I'd love it when I read the blurb, to be honest. I'm not one for insta-love trip romances and wandering hearts, but I really loved this book.

Crispin has been left all his life. His parents died when he was young, leaving him to be sent to a wonderful, loving adoptive parents who then died when he was in college. Now, as an accountant for a firm where his team of coworkers have taken him in, he finally has a small corner of the world to call home.

On a week long boys trip to Oktoberfest, he meets Luka, the waiter/superhero with many talents, including loving Crispin and helping him heal. But he's also been left... and his method of healing involves running around the world.

I loved Crispin so much. He took his time. Everything was according to his time, which was so real. And the depth of feeling he had, the compassion. I just loved everything about him.

Luka was your typical perfect on the outside, broken on the inside MC with a wandering heart and enough charisma to light up a Christmas tree farm. He was the perfect balance to Crispin.

I loved the group of friends that Crispin had. As accountants, they were so freely giving of their time and expertise and affection. I loved how they took in Jaime as their own, saw what lied beneath, and loved heart and soul.

This was another homerun for Amy Lane. I loved every page and hope there will be more because I need Cam's story.
