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. Noah lives in California, and Fisher's in Florida. But making it work takes more than coordinating schedules. It means taking risks. For Fisher, though, Noah will try. Because if he's learned anything, it's that change only happens one step at a time.

The Naked Remedy

Staring at my reflection while I brushed my teeth, I didn’t think the latter would happen. The more I saw it, the more I liked it, until I was practically bursting with newfound confidence as I crawled into bed with my laptop.


I went straight to Fisher’s blog where I found a brand-new post from this afternoon. It was short, but sweet.


Inspired by recent comments, I want to know what acts of bravery you’ve done lately. Big, small, doesn’t matter. We should be taking inspiration from each other, and what better way to do that than sharing?


The post had over thirty comments already, but I knew by the second one I couldn’t let this entry go by without making my own.


In the scheme of things, it wasn’t much. But I was going to keep the color, at least for a little while, and there was no telling what kind of flak I would need to endure.


I crashed in the best mood I’d had all day. It was a shame it couldn’t last. 4
