Still in pain a few days later, he is dragged out to a club only to be saved by Green Eyes once more. This time, he isn’t letting the man go.

Review: Frankie and Al is a cute little story about two men who keep running into each other, but never long enough to even get each others’ names. Until one day when they do, and it’s a surprise worth waiting for!
Frankie works for an insurance company. He describes himself as a 30 year old twink. He likes to have a good time but knows that his days as a party boy are numbered. Frankie gets himself into crazy situations, and his future love interest, Al, helps him out on a couple of the occasions. I’m not going to give them away, because they are pretty funny.
Al works for a company that runs corporate team building weekends. And that’s how Frankie and Al finally meet. It’s a big “Oh shit” moment! The lead up and subsequent meeting are pretty funny. The whole story is mostly lighthearted and fun. The boys work well together. Al is a bit of a Dominant and Frankie is the opposite and likes to push his buttons. In that respect they fit perfectly together. They have great sexual chemistry and are believable as a couple and are fun to watch!
There are no twists and turns in the plot. The story’s a bit predictable, but it’s cute and entertaining. The writing is light and breezy and flows without any stilted parts. Frankie and Al is a sweet little tale about chance meetings that were meant to be.
