Blurb:  When Isaac finally decides to take a chance and make a move on the handsome guy who’s been coming to the bar where he regularly works, will his gamble pay off or will he lose big time?

Working the bar at Blackjack’s has its advantages for Isaac Anderson: free music, decent tips, and all the ogling of customers his eyes can devour. When his sights lock onto a regular Friday night patron, Isaac likes what he sees, but there’s just something not quite right about the mysterious Caleb Miller. If he wants to discover what that is, Isaac must take a gamble, but will it pay off or will he lose big time?

Review:  This story revolves around Isaac (Neo) and the mysterious Caleb.

Isaac thinks he’s blown his chances with the mystery man he’s eyed at the bar for months. The man doesn’t even finish a free drink before he’s running away after Isaac mentions ‘gay erotica’. However, he returns, and Isaac persuades him to go on a date. It’s not long before Caleb runs again, but this time, Isaac catches him, and discovers Caleb’s secret is epilepsy, as his new friends suffers a seizure.

Isaac reads up on the condition, and still wants to pursue a relationship, despite Caleb’s worries and initial resistance.

It’s a sweet story. Although the epilepsy is very debilitating for Caleb, he’s still quite dominant once he gets past his initial shyness. A lot of the story is the lead up to the revelation of Caleb’s condition, and then a cautious courtship. I would have liked to have seen more development of their physical relationship.

I recommend this to anyone who likes to see hurdles overcome, sexy guys, a dash of hurt/comfort, and a HEA.
