Second Time Around by H.A. Caine
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The more he thought about it, the more he was certain Matthew had no idea he was a guy.

Jamie is finally going to open his own bakery, and his roommate, John, throws him a party to celebrate. There he meets Matthew, the hot co-owner of the Home Improvement store on the same block as Jamie’s bakery. But since Jamie prefers to wear female clothes, he’s not so sure Matthew knows he’s a guy.

This short story is all about second chances, being true to yourself, and following your dreams. Jamie has a strong sense of character and knows what he wants out of life – even if he goes against the grain, he’s true to himself. While part of the plot seemed a little cliche, it had a slight twist that did work out for Jamie.

Second Time Around is a quick read with a feel-good ending, leaving the short and sweet romance blossoming.
