The Artist and the Devil

I've been having so much fun reading Shira Glassman's shorts in the past few days, and this one is great. I've never been especially attracted to large older men with goatees before, but after encountering a character like this in several of this author's books, I am starting to understand the appeal.

I like that Noah is about my age, and his love interest is even older, as well as bisexual. I want to see so much more of all of that, in m/m. Also, even though it's very short, I think the story makes an interesting comment on the difference between expectation and reality, in attraction; I have to admit that it's easy for me to relate to Noah's flight of fancy.

Anyway, this story is cute and funny. I would have preferred it to be slightly longer, but I recommend it highly. I laughed out loud when it was revealed that Noah was even wrong about the diamonds.
