Blurb
The watcher is Alex Shaw, and he too works from home, designing logic and crossword puzzles. Alex’s options are limited: he’s too shy to approach Luke and his wheelchair won’t let him follow into the woods. His solution? Secret messages for Luke in the crosswords he writes for the local paper.
When Luke decodes them, romance begins, but then they face greater puzzles, like Alex’s interfering sister and what commitment to a man in a wheelchair really takes. And, most puzzling of all, how do you know if love is real?
Review
Puzzle Me This by Eli Easton
is one of the sweetest and most heartwarming books I’ve read in a long time.
This is a true-blue love story and I loved it. There’s very little angst, fabulous
banter, and sexy heat between two self proclaimed nerds. Pushes all my buttons!
Luke Shumaker is an active
guy who loves hiking with his dog, Trevor. Each day they hike the same spot and
each day, someone watches them. Alex Shaw works from home and sees Luke walking
by each day. Alex has developed a good old fashion crush on his handsome
neighbor. Alex is shy and he’s wheelchair bound and doesn’t know how to
approach Luke. Alex creates crossword puzzles for the newspaper and decides to
take a chance and slip some messages for Luke in them. Unbeknownst to Alex is
that Luke loves a good puzzle. Soon the two meet and the connection is
immediate. While they click emotionally and physically, outside source begin to
get in Luke’s head. He needs to decide if he can see himself making a life with
someone in a wheelchair. Can he accept all that comes with Alex?
I absolutely love that the
author has Luke really evaluate what their lives would look like in the future.
It’s so authentic and making a commitment to someone is a serious decision and
making a commitment to someone with extra needs, even more so. While this book
is incredibly sweet and romantic, I love that touch of reality. Luke and Alex
are fantastic, they are both hot nerds and lets face it, that’s just sexy.
They’re so witty and you feel how much they just love being together. I could
feel the genuine joy they find in each other. It was so nice seeing a book with
someone with a disability. Eli Easton doesn’t shy away from Alex’s chair and
the accommodations needed for him. He’s strong, independent and it’s lovely to
see him being treated as the full-bodied man he is. I love that Luke sees Alex,
sees his strength and his beauty. This one is a must read!
