Splinters by Thorny Sterling

CCC

Smorgasbord of tidbits.

Gotta a little bit of nighttime soap opera goings-on, flair, and kinda touching, too. Not that kind, you pervert. Though, Al would definitely approve and Duke would have no problem getting on board with it either. So at first I was a bit hesitant to to just let go and take the ride, but when I did, it was playful and sweet. Al has a boldness and vulnerability to him that is charming and Duke, well... he's just solid as a rock. 

Nice job on characters that could have been stiff and stereotypes. Each one at first glance appears cardboard, yet managed to come alive. That combined with the pace made it an easy, smooth read. 

Overall, enjoyable with some laughs and some ahhhs. 

3.5 stars
