A nice review for Too Soon For Love

kimberly on Jan 2nd 2012 09:21 am

It’s always nice to be surprised by a good review. This morning I found a lovely review of TSFL in my inbox. The review is from Barbara at PNR and it says in part, ”

Kimberly Gardner challenged my feelings over the question “How soon is too soon?” The answer,
I suppose depends on the individuals involved. I found the two men’s battle with their feelings heart rending and ultimately, uplifting.”

Bound To Please placed 2nd in the Beanpot Awards!

kimberly on May 9th 2011 07:19 am

Well, I guess the subject line says it all. Lol!

But yeah, I am pretty excited about this. The Beanpot contest sponsored by the New England chapter of RWA is a well-respected and reader-judged contest.

The other awesome thing is the book competed against other books in the erotic category including non-LGBT titles and placed second.

WooHoo!

Dressed To Thrill

By Kimberly Gardner

From Loose-ID

Blurb

Dumped. Right before spring break. What rotten timing! Since the trip to Key West is already paid for, Oliver decides that he’ll go anyway. Who knows?

maybe he’ll meet a hot guy to make him forget his woes. Little does he suspect he’ll be drawn in both by the gorgeous locale and a sultry drag queen.

Drew knows he has what it takes to be a star. If he has to wear a skirt and stilettos to make it happen, so be it. He looks good as a woman. But then he

meets Oliver and has his doubts. He can’t tell this terrific new guy what he does in the evenings. Not when they’re having such a great time and not when

Oliver will be gone in a week. Given the circumstances, what’s the harm in a little white lie?

But plans change when secrets are revealed, and both men’s deepest desires become their greatest thrills.

Excerpt

“I’ll have another one of those,” Oliver said. He angled his head toward the empty margarita glass on the table in front of him.

“Rocks and salt?” The waitress had to yell to be heard over the music.

Oliver nodded, and she scooped up his empty before hurrying away. Continue Reading »

Too Soon For Love Now Available!

kimberly on Feb 16th 2011 10:26 am

Available now from MLR Press

Sometimes attraction is stronger than the best kept secret, even when it’s Too Soon For Love.

Michael Stricker is still reeling from his partner’s sudden and untimely death when he meets someone new, someone he could really care about. But first he needs time, time to get his life back in order and time to get over is lost love. But learning to live alone again is nearly impossible with his well-meaning relatives treating him like a poor helpless blind guy.

When Alan Stuart befriends Phillip DiMartino’s grieving partner, the last thing he expects is to discover hidden lies and infidelity. Guilty over his attraction to the still-grieving man, Alan resolves to stay silent. But the truth has a way of coming out, and soon a dead man’s secrets bring about more heartbreak than Alan could have imagined.

Although both men vow to keep their distance, staying away is easier said than done, even when it’s Too Soon For Love.

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust …”

The voice of the priest–Father Malone, was it?–droned on, the words of the Catholic burial ceremony little more than a buzzing in Michael’s ears.

The February sun, brilliant and bright after the snow storm, felt warm on his face. But the wind was all teeth and claws as it whipped across the open cemetery grounds. Inside his boots Michael could no longer feel his toes. Thanks to the valium Dr. Z. had prescribed, some of that numbness had seeped inside him. He hated the numbness, hated feeling like his emotions were wrapped in cotton, but even that feeling of chemical detachment was better than the wrenching pain that was his constant companion ever since Phillip’s death nearly a week ago.

Yes, Phillip was really gone. For the first time in nearly twelve years, Michael was alone, the pain his only companion despite the people who’d surrounded him ever since he’d made that first phone call. Continue Reading »
