Blurb:

Cameron has it all. He’s rich, lives in Manhattan, and even has a cross-dressing butler. But then he meets Nate, an Australian who’s bitter about love. Cameron is determined to turn this realist into a dreamer by sharing his world of classy restaurants, Broadway shows and fabulous parties. And while Nate’s friends see the makings of a fantasy romance, it’s Nate who has to learn that in order to open his heart, he has to face a painful secret.

Nate and the New Yorker is a short novel, it is why I am not going to talk about the story itself, except the fact, that the plot provides a good basis for a typical MM Romance with paranormal elements, that COULD deliver totally different kind of books depending on the interpretation of the starting material.
The story COULD have been longer – with a bit more erotica in it – or it could have been more serious, though I personally consider exactly the witty writing style as a winner for this short novel.

So let talk about what was good and what not so good here for me.

What I liked:

I enjoyed Kevin Klehr’s easygoing writing style and his humour.

This novel has a perfect length for my taste.

All characters are a bit over eccentric. In other kind of story it COULD be annoying, but here it matches with a story harmonically, and gives it something special.

I loved the first part of the book, but maybe because of my reading preferences.

What could be better:

Sex scenes! Yes, I understand that SEX wasn’t supposed to be the main focus of the story, but after such promising remarks like

“He was ready for worship. With one masterful stroke, I could unzip his manhood and give it breathing space.”

or

“You have techniques that could make a gigolo blush.”

not to give us, readers, a single SEX scene, was MEAN!

Maybe it is the reason WHY I completely missed the sexual tension between MCs. (see point above)

The second part of the book wasn’t as good as the beginning, it is why I gave it only three stars. But as I said, it could be my personal reading preferences.

All in all, it was a nice pleasant quick read.
