Excerpt from a Review by Carole of "Rainbow Reviews"
This sweet, hot story takes us just a little farther down the story line with these two men as they celebrate their first Christmas together. Addison Albright has written a heart-warming tale that will leave you teary-eyed and smiling at the same time. Her writing is so intensely visual that you can see the characters and the setting, and you just want to give both of them a hug.
While Moving Along is a sequel to Moving On, it stands alone nicely, though if you like Addison Albright's writing, as I do, you'll certainly want to read the story of how Brandt and Mark met. This is a lovingly crafted, tightly-written short story that I am sure you will enjoy.
Excerpt from a Review by Tina of "Two Lips Reviews"
Moving Along is a short but beautiful read that will make you believe in love and the lasting power it has in life.
Excerpt from a Review by Rose Nymph of "Literary Nymphs"
A light and sweet story, it was lovely to revisit the characters’ lives to see if things are working out between Brandt and Mark. The chemistry is definitely still there and the conflict both men feel between the past and the present is very believable. The Christmas presents they got each other were very cute and I’m just itching to read the fun they get up to in the future.
An Excerpt
Mark couldn't keep from laughing as he spun Brandt around the dance floor. It was Christmas Eve. Brandt loved to dance and Mark loved to indulge him in every way. In this case, it was easy since Mark loved to dance, too.
Brandt grinned up at him. “What’s so funny?”
“Nothing darlin’, I’m just happy. I was thinking about when we met, how you just blew me away that night.”
Brandt smirked. “As I recall, I was the one who got blown that night.”
Mark’s eyes sparkled with mirth. “That you did, darlin’, and I’ve been falling for you ever since.”
Brandt had a wistful look in his eyes. ‘Falling for’ was putting it lightly. Mark was in love and there wasn’t even a shadow of a doubt about it in his mind. He hadn’t said it aloud to Brandt yet, though. He was reasonably confident that his feelings were reciprocated, but he was also pretty sure that Brandt would be more comfortable progressing slowly.
Mark knew that Brandt had loved his former partner very much and had mourned his death deeply. Mark wasn’t jealous of the feelings Brandt would always have for Graeme. In fact he greatly appreciated the fact that Brandt was capable of such a strong lasting attachment.
Although Mark had been burned by infidelity in the past, he knew Brandt well enough to know that the man’s integrity would never allow that. Brandt was conscientious, honest and direct in all aspects of his life, and clearly treading cautiously in their relationship. Mark was the first man Brandt had been with since Graeme’s passing and Mark knew that Brandt’s feelings would be complicated by wanting to be sure that it was truly Mark that he cared for and that Mark was not simply a rebound man filling a void in his heart.
The song came to an end and Mark led Brandt to a table at the edge of the dance floor. Jason and John, old friends of Brandt’s who were now good friends of Mark’s were at the festive table.
“You two look great out there together,” Jason commented.
Mark laughed. “Well, at least we match each other for this party.” They were wearing coordinating red and white holiday themed shirts.
“You clashed at the last dance party,” John remembered.
“In more ways than one,” replied Mark. He looked over at Brandt. “I almost gave up pursuing you when you pushed me away during our first dance. Guess I did give up – I only approached you again to apologize.”
Brandt smiled, and looked into his eyes. “I’m glad you did.”
Brandt might have been smiling, but he looked like something was on his mind. Was Mark’s notion that Brandt might love him back just wishful thinking? Maybe Brandt wasn’t as glad as he professed to be.
