Out of the Shadows by K.C. Wells
3.0
Christian Hernandez has holed himself in his apartment away from the world after an accident 8 years ago left him not wanting to be seen. And that has worked well for him until his landlord decided that his apartment will be getting a full-scale renovation that will require someone spending days working in his living space. The man assigned to do the work, Josh, has heard the rumors about the reclusive resident who no one ever sees, but he's not worried about working in a space with someone he assumes is more misunderstood than anything else. When, despite Christian's best efforts, the two end up interacting face-to-face, both men find their world opened up in ways they never expected. I was a bit worried this was going to be a "I'm going to rescue you and suddenly your life is perfect" type of story--but it's not. It's written sensitively, and there are elements of growth for both characters as they work to navigate a potential relationship and the world around them.
