Danny is a teacher in small town Colorado, trying to live down his wild teenage years and living his life the only way he knows how; one day at a time. The last person he expects to ever see back in town is Harlan Quinn, his old best friend and consummate bad boy. And when he finds out Quinn is the new Sheriff it's even more of a shock. Quinn knows there's more to his old hometown than meets the eye. He knows there's more to Danny than old memories and quiet living, too. He sets out to stir things up in more ways than one, pushing Danny to admit that there's more to life than he has, and that their old town just might manage to be new again.

Old Town New
I enjoyed BA.Tortuga's The Terms of Release. Unfortunately, Old Town New didn't work for me at all.
The premise was good (second chance romance is always a favorite trope for me), and I liked the first 20% of the story. Quinn returns to his hometown ,a small town in Colorado, where he is supposed to work as a Sheriff. There, he meets his old friend and teenage boyfriend, Danny. Danny is a teacher and he carries his own demons.
What bothered me to no end and made me almost DNF was the writing, especially the dialogue. For example:
"Hey. There's coffee. Bacon. Eggs."
"Yeah. Naked. Fucking."
"Anything. Fuck. Love."
"You 're. I. Wow"
"Danny. Babe. I, oh."
And this is only a small sample. Single, one syllable, random words ALL THE TIME. It didn't make any sense.
The writing was repetitive too. The word "babe" was used 100 times and I couldn't tell one sex scene from the other.
The "mystery" subplot with Quinn working as an undercover cop was so underdeveloped, it bordered on ridiculous.
After a while I couldn't even see the point of this story. The sex was too much, not integral to the plot at all (if there was any plot to begin with), and it was mostly used as a filler.
I'm sorry, but I can't recommend.
