Love, Marriage, and a Baby Carriage<\/em> (2016) C.S. Poe<\/a><\/p>\n

\"MarriageIt’s been a rough couple days. I desperately needed something light and funny so I decided a reread of Love, Marriage, and a Baby Carriage<\/em> was necessary.<\/p>\n

This is a short story, and currently you can’t find it anywhere, but OMG it is one of the best things.<\/p>\n

It is troupe soup, where she took all the tropes–fated mates, virgin hero, surprise baby, frantic chase scenes, shifters–and threw them into a single story, where what came out was AMAZING.<\/p>\n

Here’s the blurb:<\/p>\n

Theodore Reinhart is a young man looking for love. In San Diego. At a convention. For penguin shifters. WaddleCon is the go-to event of the year when looking for your life partner, but Theodore isn\u2019t comfortable with the game they\u2019ve turned dating into, nor does the convention provide for the gay community. A mistake in speed dating table assignments puts Theodore in front of Wesley O\u2019Neill, a handsome and confident model who lets it slip that he\u2019s definitely noticed the spark of attraction between them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s only 37 pages so it’s hard to quote, but OMG THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER.<\/p>\n

Once she gets her rights back from Dreamspinner I will let you know, because it is amazing and you need this story in your life.<\/p>\n
