From the moment he finds The Naked Remedy, Noah Booker is enthralled. Not only because the blog owner is gorgeous or that the nude photos are hot, but because Fisher uses his platform to face his fears about a crippling accident, as well as the aftermath of putting his life back together.<br><br>Noah isn’t brave. He copes with his shyness by staying in his comfort zone. At twenty-six, he still hasn't come out or left his conservative hometown. Finding the blog offers a beacon, but when he summons the nerve to comment, he never expects Fisher to respond.<br><br>The two men strike a friendship. Sparks fly, but dating isn't easy.

The Naked Remedy

My eyes were bleary when I went to bed. The low murmur of my parents’ voices down the hall disappeared when I shut the door. Pulling my shirt over my head, I tossed it on top of my hamper as I crossed to my desk. The lottery winnings could pay for a movie this weekend. If something good was opening, I might be able to convince someone from work to go with me.


I made a shortlist of who I might be able to sell on the idea, but as I started to close my laptop, I noticed the number on my Gmail tab. I had a new message in my inbox. Though it was probably spam, I clicked over to check it.


It wasn’t spam. It was a response to the comment I’d left on the Naked Remedy blog.


I stared at the subject header. Nobody ever responded to me on the rare occasions I thought of something worthwhile to say.


The email didn’t contain the text of the comment, just the link that would lead me straight to it. My gasp when I saw who it was from rivaled the one Mom had made when I read off the Mega number.
