But is Cameron simply second best?

So, lets just get the bottom line out of the way: this is quite possibly *the* best novella-length story I have ever read. Clinically speaking, it is the textbook presentation of the successful short story and all that should entail, but seldom does. Start to finish, beginning-to-fully fleshed middle, to ending-with-a-slight-but-interesting twist, this is the quintessential big story compacted beautifully into a short.
It would be a disservice to leave the analysis at the clinical level, because there is just heart-for-days in this journey with compelling main characters and full-bodied secondary friends and family. There is a melding of disparate worlds, made possible by a gentle letting-go of pasts best left…past. There is a resolution of souls, in this world and the next, and every last bit of it—heart and soul of it—is exceptionally, beautifully and believably accomplished with *zero* descriptive sex. And it is every bit as visceral a journey as any explicit story I’ve read.
I can’t recommend this 80-something pages of deep and abiding soul highly enough for anyone wanting a great little story, and/or anyone wanting to see how any story -short or long- *should be composed.

Nate and the New Yorker Nate and Cameron Book 1 edition by Kevin Klehr Romance eBooks Reviews
Reviewed by Caer Jones for QUEERcentric Books
There is a certain suspension of disbelief that happens in a romance novel, but Nate and the New Yorker by Kevin Klehr stretched that until it snapped.
Nate waits tables at a café in Sydney. We meet him while he’s on a tour of Europe. In Prague he meets “the charming American”, Cameron. They have chemistry, but their only night together is interrupted and Nate returns home. The rest of the story is about Nate and Cameron trying to form a relationship while living on two separate continents.
Right from the get-go I had questions. Lots of questions. Like… how does a café waiter pay for a three-week trip to Europe? Or a week later go to New York? Granted, Cameron paid for most everything in New York, but it’s not like Nate’s bills stop coming because he’s globe-trotting. Then a bit later in the story he goes to Tokyo. How is this café waiter not homeless?
The thing that killed me about this whole thing is that his profession had absolutely no bearing on the story. Make him a lawyer, or a doctor, or a freaking Time Lord. That would have smoothed out the logistics enough to be swallowed. That didn’t happen, though, and the story suffered for it. It was so bad I found the ridiculously over-the-top fairy-tale romance mostly believable by comparison.
WE SUDDENLY HAVE A GHOST!
And then. Nowhere in the blurb did this story mention a paranormal element, but completely out of the blue we suddenly have a ghost! At first I thought it was isolated to Nate, and so a figment of his imagination. Other people become involved too, though, and they’re all so blasé about the whole thing I wanted to scream. A bunch of folks heard the ghost talk to them in a cemetery and they were all “I heard that – champagne?”. Just… no. Nonono!
Also? The story is positively dripping in purple prose. This makes an 80’s bodice ripper look restrained. The flowery language was as distracting as the complete lack of logic, and both permeated the whole story. If I’d read “charming American” one more time I would have gouged my eyes out. I forgot the character’s name because he became The Charming American.
To top it off? Absolutely no sex. If you want any heat in your story you are out of luck here. I don’t require sex to enjoy a story, but this sure could have benefited from some!
SUPPORTING CHARACTERS WERE ENTERTAINING
On the plus side, the supporting characters were entertaining, and I think a longer format would have given them more time to shine.
This could have been good if the author had focused on writing a believable contemporary romance without the ghost aspect and toned down the prose. This could have been good if he had focused on the paranormal element and tweaked the logistics a bit while, again, toning down the prose. He didn’t do either of those things, though, and this story was almost impossible to read as a result.
Why can’t all stories be as fresh and tough and sentimental and unforgettable as NATE AND THE NEW YORKER?
Maybe because this author holds the magic key, the one called “language.” He has a sure touch for dialog, for indirect character revelation, for image building. Most of all, he knows how to construct a story until it fairly sings and cries, until the last chord is struck and the music lingers forever.
I marked this tiny passage for its ability to transport me—along with Nathan—to a New York I’ve never heard or seen
“Bagels spread out in [a] shop window, with a sign claiming they were the best in Manhattan. A busker rapped between the notes he played on his saxophone, telling us God would love us if we bought his CDs. And all this was happening as cars breezed along on the wrong side of the street.”
Okay, I loved Kevin Klehr's novella. I loved the way the seemingly tough-skinned Nathan lets a new romance begin to invade his heart and guts. I loved his new lover Cameron’s naive and boyish passion. I loved the secondary characters…Nathan’s friends, Cameron’s butler and aunt, and above all the brooding figure of Elliot the ex-lover. Every character in this novella has a story to tell, and the story is all about love.
There’s no chance I’ll give away the plot of this delicious love song. An Australian meets an American. They meet, and part, and meet again. They lose each other and find each other before doing it all over again. And in between, there is a small symphony of love lost…and new love found.
Bravo! Encore, maestro!
