Luke and Billy Finally Get a Clue

Luke and Billy Finally Get a Clue (2023) Cat Sebastian (The Cabots #3.5)

Set in North Carolina in 1953

This is a story about being injured.

Billy was no prince when he was hurting, either. He always felt, idiotically, that giving in to pain was some kind of character flaw. He knew it wasn’t, he knew that he had to ice his damn arm and take whatever medicine the team doctor gave him, but he still felt weirdly ashamed of himself when he wasn’t able to use his body the way he wanted to.

But it’s also a story about feelings, and people who have no idea how to express those feelings.

Also, there is a secluded cabin with dogs.

The dogs, apparently sensing that important work was being done, were relentlessly in the way. Luke resorted to picking up sticks and flinging them in the general direction of Not Here, the dogs, who had never fetched one single object for Billy, not even once, brought sticks back to Luke. They didn’t seem to be the same sticks that Luke had thrown, which made it even weirder.

This is a novella, and there are a lot of discussions about sex.

Characters: Billy Reardon, Luke Novak, Suzanne, Mrs. Reardon
