This was an extremely well written short story by an author new to me. The Acres is a GLBT resort, although it seems predominately gay, where all the cabin owners know everyone else and the gossip grapevine runs at full tilt. Scott is still suffering the hurt of a three year old break up and feels the need to sell his cabin. Word hits the grapevine that some new, young blood will be staying in the cabin behind Scott's. It turns out that one of the three hot, young men, Gavin, is one of Scott's former students. A summer romance blooms but jealousies, misunderstandings and insecurities get in the way.
The characters and the homey feel of the Acres are well developed for a short story. I felt like part of the gang as I read along. The story line flowed very well and the relationship between Gavin and Scott evolved nicely. Ms Champa has a gift of bringing her characters to life and keeping them interesting. Even Scott's dog Stella was adorable. The romance was fun and not sappy sweet like so many are. The book is definitely worth reading. ( )
