Luke Schumaker designs computer games, working from his
home. Every day he walks his dog in the woods nearby, never suspecting that
someone who is completely smitten is watching.
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?
Second Edition: The new edition has an additional 12,000 words plus an overall rewrite.

Sarah – ☆☆☆☆
This is a fun romance between two adorably geeky leading men. The puzzles Alex uses to court Luke provide the most impossibly sweet meet-cute and the chemistry between the two game makers is wonderful.
There is much to love about this short novella. I love the way the two men seem so distinctly opposite until they connect with a shared love of puzzles. And horror. And hiking. They are a perfect fit and theirs is one of the few relationships where insta-love just makes sense. I love that Alex’s disability is acknowledged and discussed but it never dominates the story. I also love the surprisingly smutty heat in this book – there are a couple of fabulously steamy scenes.
There’s a little bit of angst at the end of this story but it’s definitely a feel-good read. I loved the characters and I really liked the connection between them.
