Buchanan House Book One
Eric Allen, thirty-three-year-old line cook, moved in with his grandmother, Jewell, after a disastrous coming-out when he was in middle school. She raised him, and he cared for her when she fell ill. When Jewell died, she left everything to Eric—angering his parents and older brother. The inheritance isn’t much, but Eric and his bestie, Nathan, pool their money and buy an abandoned hotel on an isolated stretch of the Central Oregon Coast. The hotel isn't far from Lincoln City—a town with its own Pride Festival and named for a president—so they christen it Buchanan House after James Buchanan, the “confirmed bachelor” president with the close male friend.
Eric and Nathan need a handyman to help them turn Buchanan House into the gay resort of their dreams. Eric finds Tim Tate in the local listings, and over the months leading to opening weekend, Tim reveals himself as a skilled carpenter with many hidden talents. Eric falls hard for Tim, but before he can see a future with the gorgeous handyman, he has to get over twenty years of being bullied and shamed by his birth family. It would be much easier if Eric’s brother Zach wasn't trying to grab part of the inheritance or ruin opening weekend.

This is the first book in The Buchanan House Series. A beautiful book the writing was great. The story is told by Eric’s point of view. That is my only problem with the book. I would’ve like Tim’s thoughts. The plot was entertaining and it was steady throughout the book. I found the story and characters wonderful. The characters were well developed and thought out. Tim and Eric are the MC’s of this book. Nathan is a great secondary character. There was humor, grief and loss, family and friends, an accident, a beach, police, a phone call and so much more in this book.Here is a quote from the book, “Eric had grudgingly agreed when Nathan suggested they take one full day off every week, and named it Sanity Preservation Day. After the craziness that was Work Party Weekend, it was hard to deny Nathan a solid day of rest.”. There is more but you will need to read the book which I can recommend as a good read.. I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book for an honest review.

Buchanan House edition by Charley Descoteaux Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This is a book in my opinion about a man, Eric, who is not so comfortable in his own skin. He knows he is attracted to men but some part is attracted to women too. He has a hard time excepting who he is especially since the only one in his family that accepted him was his grandmother. The rest of his family bullied and made fun of him and that made him to become a very insecure man and has him always second guessing himself and the decisions he makes in his life. When his grandmother passes away and she left him a small inheritance him and his best friend pull their money and by an old place and turn it into a B&B. This is the step that changes his life forever. This is where he meets Tim and his life will never be the same.
I think that Tim would be considered he strong one in the relationship. He knows that Eric is having a hard time and he excepts and supports him regardless of how Eric feels about himself. I believe that because of Tim Eric is able to start believing in himself and accepting that him being bisexual or even gay is not a bad thing. I also believe that with Tims support that Eric actually starts liking himself and having more self confidence. Without Tim I do not think that would have been possible.
This was such a sweet story and a good read. I am lookin forward to the next book especially to see what happens with Eric and Tim or maybe even Brandon or Nathan. Charley Descoteaux did a good job on this book and cannot wait to read book two in the series
This is a soft, gentle story, but it quickly drew me in and held my attention. The writing style is beautiful. The transformation of Buchanan House from an empty shell into a welcoming retreat mirrors Eric's transformation from insecurity to fully embracing who he is. The whole thing has the quality of hiding away for a time to heal and rejuvenate, ready for the next phase.
I loved Eric. He was easy to connect to, with his fears and the ways he'd been damaged by his abusive family. The pacing of his romance with Tim was just right, and I loved that their relationship wasn't the sole focus of the story. Eric not only learns to trust Tim but also to let go of the destructive beliefs ruling his life.
The side characters are marvelous. I adored Nathan, and the affection between him and Eric is obvious all throughout. I'll admit he's probably someone who would intimidate me in real life, but there's no question about how much they love each other. Tex is terrific, with her larger-than-life personality and her ability to get things done. All the rest are people I would love to know better. None of them feel like tokens or flat characters; they are all significant in some way to the story and to the myriad of social issues brought forward by the story.
This story hits on some sensitive things, particularly with Eric's unhealthy methods of avoiding things he'd rather not think about. But when he finally opens up and trusts the people around him, the end result is emotional and beautiful.
Buchanan House itself is as much a character as any of the people. It's a setting which lends itself well to ongoing tales of the people in and out of the house, whether they work or simply vacation there. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
I received a free copy via Inked Rainbow in exchange for an honest review.
Charley Descoteaux has an idiosyncratic style of storytelling. She leaves gaps here and there for the reader to fill in with one’s own imagination, but without creating plot gaps, for this particular story is held together by the old Buchanan House.
Eric came out to his family on Thanksgiving Day as a thirteen-year-old, expecting a warm reception but instead receiving coldness and rejection. As Eric recalls, he left with his grandmother before pie was served and she and her eclectic group of friends became Eric’s family. When Eric’s grandmother passed away, Eric was named her sole heir, against the demands of his greedy family. Eric took his inheritance and invested it in an old fixer upper on Oregon’s coast with the plan to create a place where all the people under the rainbow could gather happily and feel safe.
Nathan was Eric’s best friend since childhood. Much more flamboyant than Eric, Nathan became Eric’s co-investor in Buchanan House. Why the coastal camp and house has that name is fascinating and I’ll let you discover that for yourself.
Eric is weepy and emotional on the best of days. When he meets Tim the handyman who is engaged to fix up the house he finds his other half. Tim is as calm and ordered as Eric is sensitive and passionate.
There are many other secondary characters who are lovingly developed by the author. Some are in and out of the story quickly and I would have liked to know more about them. Others are woven into Eric’s life, for the story is told entirely from Eric’s POV. I’m hoping for more stories from Buchanan House to fill in the stories waiting to be told about the other people and guests. It was a lovely book and I enjoyed reading it and watching the story blossom like roses in spring.
This is the first book in The Buchanan House Series. A beautiful book the writing was great. The story is told by Eric’s point of view. That is my only problem with the book. I would’ve like Tim’s thoughts. The plot was entertaining and it was steady throughout the book. I found the story and characters wonderful. The characters were well developed and thought out.

After the craziness that was Work Party Weekend, it was hard to deny Nathan a solid day of rest.”. There is more but you will need to read the book which I can recommend as a good read..
