Une histoire toute douce, où la romance existe à peine.
Ce qui est mis en valeur ici, c'est l'amour de la nourriture, le lien entre souvenirs familiaux & petits plats. L'ambiance du pub est très sympa, et la relation simple qui se construit entre Eric & Colm est douce comme tout.
Il est quand même difficile de croire qu'un mec passionné comme Eric ait pu se laisser embobiner à ce point par son compagnon, au point de lui faire jeter au feu toute sa déontologie ... Mais bon, cette nouvelle se laisse lire, on passe un moment doux et tranquille, sans aucune prise de tête. :)

Loved this. It was sweet but with an edge because as a reader you're aware of the conflict and as Eric digs himself deeper into a hole you know the fallout is coming.
I adored Colm from the beginning, Eric was harder to like, no that's not true, Eric was just as easy to like as Colm, which made his original act hard to understand.
The setting was very evocative, both the pub and Portland, and I'd love to experience both.
And the scene at the zoo was brilliant.
No steam with a HEA.

Very good

I really enjoyed this one. I liked Colm’s dedication to making his business work. What happened was unfair and I was glad with how Eric tried to fix it. I liked that Eric knew he made a mistake and took steps to fix it. I never really understood why he did it, but it still worked.
