Chaser by Rick R. Reed

When he goes out to gay bars, Caden gets his share of appreciative glances and flirts, likely because of his athletic runner's appearance. Kevin noticed Caden as well, and was very surprised when he came over to talk with him, since, as a chubby gay man, he was used to being treated as invisible in such situations. Caden has always been attracted to guys who were a bit beefy, and was glad to find out they had many things in common as well, as they started to date. When a family emergency took Caden out of town for an extended period of time, Kevin worried if he'd still be interested when he returned, and undertook a massive diet and exercise program to slim down, which he succeeded in doing. The homecoming was not what either was expecting since, although Caden was glad Kevin was being health conscious, he missed his chubby boyfriend.
Master storyteller Reed puts an interesting spin on the dilemma of physical vs. emotional attraction to someone, and how it is uncomfortable for either party to discuss such feelings. The characters are relatable and well-defined, although the story seemed a bit rushed in places. Overall, a recommended read, four stars out of five.
