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

It didn’t matter. He heard what I meant without having to utter the actual words. “I don’t want to wait if I don’t have to. Can I see you Sunday afternoon?”


Of all the days to pick…“I have to work.” I did my best to hide how disappointed I was, but by the way his smile faded, I don’t think I did a very good job. “What about in the evening?”


Fisher shook his head. “There’s this party I have to go to. I was hoping you could go shopping with me to find something to wear.”


I was missing watching Fisher change in and out his clothes with express opinion to appreciate it? Me and my rotten luck. “And we can’t do that tomorrow?”


Fisher shook his head. “I have to spend the day at my folks’. And I’m back to work on Monday.”


“Then I guess it’s next weekend some time.” I didn’t dare suggest a weekday date. It would be a lot harder to explain to my parents, and the later hour in Florida would restrict our options.
