"The Mating of Michael" by Eli Easton

This is an unusual love story about two very different men with lots of baggage.  Michael Lamont is a home health nurse with a former burlesque dancer as his main client, and James Gallway is a successful novelist who contracted polio at age five and must use a wheelchair.  Michael loves James' books, and when they meet at a book signing, Michael is smitten.  However, James is practically a hermit and is dealing with his books not selling as well as his first, which he wrote at age 18.  They do eventually start dating, but Michael has a big secret that may tear them apart. 

This was a well written story with enough angst to make me worry that there wouldn't be an HEA.  James is not a very likable person at the beginning, but once we learn more about his childhood the reader can understand why he has a huge chip on his shoulder.  Michael is a sweet, giving, and trusting soul, and is the heart of this book.  His client, Marnie, is a hoot and gives the story a lot of its humor.  I liked most things about it except its title.  (It is part of a series but can be read as a standalone; I have not read the others but might in the future.)  240 pages (Kindle edition).
