About this ebook

A Tucker Springs Novel

Sometimes you have to get dirty to come clean.

When muscle-bound Denver Rogers effortlessly dispatches the frat boys harassing grad student Adam Ellery at the Tucker Springs laundromat, Adam’s thank-you turns into impromptu sex over the laundry table. The problem comes when they exchange numbers. What if Adam wants to meet again and discovers Denver is a high-school dropout with a learning disability who works as a bouncer at a local gay bar? Or what if Denver calls Adam only to learn while he might be brilliant in the lab, outside of it he has crippling social anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder?

Either way, neither of them can shake the memory of their laundromat encounter. Despite their fears of what the other might think, they can only remember how good the other one feels. The more they get together, the kinkier things become. They’re both a little bent, but in just the right ways.

Maybe the secret to staying together isn’t to keep things clean and proper. Maybe it’s best to keep their laundry just a little bit dirty.

Ratings and reviews

4.2 > Two men with very different disabilities find strength and support in one another. A well-built shirtless male wearing a cowboy hat standing in front of a row of laundromat dryers makes up the cover of this book. Interesting. Bold title color and font is easily legible and visible. It was enough to make me read the synopsis, which I found very interesting. POV ~> Third person While the author does a great job at building her characters and portraying them in a positive light, while showcasing their individual struggles, I did have a hard time connecting with Adam. This is said even as a parent of an adult child that, too, suffers OCD and Anxiety/Depression. While I can intellectually understand the clinical complications, it is nearly impossible to truly understand and comprehend how difficult even the littlest things in life can be for them and for that reason alone I was at a disconnect. Denver was a little easier for me to get. Their interaction was good and felt natural. Secondary characters ranged in likability. The writing was smooth, the plot was strong, and the story flowed nicely with only minimal predictability. The conclusion was solid enough, providing a satisfactory HFN / implied HEA. While I’ve purchased a few books from Ms Cullinan in the past, this was actually the first I’ve read from her. I was pleased with the outcome and look forward to reading more from her. .
