Something Like Winter
You’ve heard Ben’s side of the story. Now a troubled artist will paint the complete picture.
There are two sides to every story. When you’re Tim Wyman, sometimes there are three.
Tim hoped moving to Texas would mean a new beginning but soon finds himself falling into the same tired patterns. Until he meets recklessly brave Benjamin Bentley, who introduces Tim to a world of love, sex, and warmth. Certain that society won’t understand what he and Ben have together, Tim struggles to protect their relationship, even if it means twisting the truth. Buried beneath his own deceptions, Tim must claw his way to the surface in the hopes of learning to fly.
Something Like Winter, the companion novel to Something Like Summer, tells the story from Tim Wyman’s perspective, revealing new private moments and personal journeys.
“– readers should know that these books stand alone well and are perfect to laugh and cry over. They are audience-participation novels to the fullest. Summer was a two-hanky book, Winter a one-hanky tale, but Autumn tops them all as a multi-box book. Read it on public transportation at your peril.” – Pat Henshaw, All About Romance
The premise…
Something Like Winter is more than a simple retelling of Something Like Summer. For much of the first book, Ben and Tim go their separate ways. Tim lives through a lot in his time apart from Ben. By the end of the first book, he’s clearly grown and changed. Something Like Winter finally allows the reader to understand Tim’s motivations and how he becomes the man he does. Of course the story can’t be told without reliving some of the scenes from the first book, but an effort was made to leave many of Something Like Summer’s most memorable parts exclusive to that book. Instead, the times that Ben and Tim spend together are sprinkled with new scenes—moments that the reader didn’t experience the first time around. In the end, only about 27,000 of nearly 130,000 words retread previous scenes, meaning Something Like Winter is less of a retelling, and more of a completely new experience.
