Summary
2018-2019 Rainbow Awards Runner-up, Best Gay Contemporary Romance & Romantic Comedy
When a series of personal crises prompt risk-averse research librarian Aaron Templeton to apply for a job on the other side of the country, nobody is more surprised than he is. He nearly runs home before the final interview except for one little problem: he has no home anymore. He put his condo on the market before he left California and it’s already sold. Only an encounter with free-spirited Connecticut native Cody Brown at the Mystic Seaport Museum staves off Aaron’s incipient panic attack.
Cody loves nothing better than introducing newcomers to the great features of his beloved home state, and when the newbie in question is a rumpled professorial type with the saddest blue eyes on the planet? Score! The attraction between the two men deepens as they explore Cody’s favorite spots, but when difficulties arise and Aaron’s insecurities threaten to overwhelm him, will Cody’s love be enough to keep him in Mystic?
Mystic Man is a 32,000-word novella featuring a pertinent internal playlist, suggestive shellfish consumption, and a six-year-old who thinks history should have more girls. HEA guaranteed.

Sweet and fun romance
Cody is a free spirit, he loves traveling and meeting new people. Aaron likes stability. A series of events leads Aaron to apply for a job at Connecticut where Cody is a volunteer at Mystic Seaport Museum. Cody mistakes Aaron for a tourist and offers to be his tour guide. The two men go sightseeing and soon start developing feelings for each other.
This was a sweet and romantic love story between two different men that completed each other perfectly. It was low angst and beautifully written with a happily ever after. Cody and Aaron had great chemistry and I loved the descriptions of the places they visited. I felt like I was with them going sightseeing. I had a great time listening the audiobook. The narrator brought Aaron and Cody to life beautifully, wonderful voice and fantastic audio quality. I loved it, it was such a fun summer read.

The whole story was so uplifting.
A lovely low angst romance about two men who find a home in one another. I fell in love with both Aaron and Cody almost immediately, they just so perfect together. They bedin a friendship and from that they just sparkle together. This has all the elements of Ms Russell 's work. It's funny, quirky, with lots of romance, and emotion. The secondary characters are great, I love the whole found family element, and this has it in spades. I also enjoyed Cody's internal playlist, what a great inclusion by the author, especially how it linked to the story. I enjoyed the whole story, but I think that the epilogue was my favourite, it was gratifying to read their sweet HEA. Kirt Graves does a cracking job in bringing both the story and the MCs to life. I loved reading the book, but the audible version takes it to the next level. Such an uplifting tale.

Loved Aaron and Cody!
4.5 Stars!
This was a very low-angst, fast, enjoyable read! Both Aaron and Cody were very likable and even though this was pretty much instalove, it worked well in this case.
It was endearing to see how Cody threw himself into making his time with Aaron the most awesome experience of his life in the hopes that Aaron would stay with him. He was sweet and enthusiastic and so dreamy. And then we have Aaron, who was so out of his element after doing something so out of character as putting his house up for sale before knowing he had the job he'd applied for. I liked that he was willing to try new things with Cody, even when he wasn't sure about doing a lot of those when Cody first suggested them. While Aaron should've been on the rebound, I never got the feeling that he and Cody didn't belong together, au contraire, they just fit, despite being so different. It didn't hurt that they had amazing chemistry, of course. ;)
Overall, this was a fantastic addition to the States of Love line and another hit by Ms. Russell, who is one of my favorite authors and this book is just another reason why.
I had the chance to listen to this audiobook and I fell in love all over again with Cody and Aaron through Kirk Graves's voice. He has such a pleasant tone and brings a lot of emotion into the story, which somehow was even better the second time around. You definitely can't go wrong with either the audiobook or ebook version, but if you have the opportunity, do yourself a favor and get it in audio.
