House Call Reviews




Reviewed by April of Fallen Angel Reviews (three angels)
House Call by Jane Davitt is the story of Dr. Paul Jackson, a closeted doctor in a small town. When an emergency house call brings him into contact with the one night stand that he can’t stop thinking about, and never expected to see again, Paul discovers that he has some healing of his own to do.

Now, onto my favorite of the three, House Call  by Jane Davitt. I really felt the connection with Paul and Steve. The sense of regret and longing that both men feel and the reconnection that Paul felt with his chosen profession came across the page strongly. I like author Jane Davitt and this just reaffirms my liking for her storytelling skills.

House Call by Jane Davitt is a lovely story. Paul is a closeted gay doctor in a small town, trying to adjust, trying to deal with country ways. He's lonely, but he isn't looking partly because he is afraid he will lose his job and partly because he carries a torch for a man, the perfect man, that he was with for just one night two years ago back in Chicago. On a house call to see a dying man deep in the countryside, what are the odds that the man's grandson Steve will be that man? That this is Steve's hometown? Steve has also been carrying a torch for that long ago one night stand and is angry that Paul never called him. He left his number when he left that morning, didn't he? Paul and Steve are perfect for each other, but they are in a small town. Paul's in the closet and Steve lives elsewhere now ~ and both are angry. Can they overcome two years of misunderstanding, and even if they can, will the town accept them as a couple?


In-House Review by Cassandra Gold

In "House Call" by Jane Davitt, new country doctor Paul isn't pleased to have to do house calls, especially when he meets the grandson of one of his patients. He and Steve have a history together, and the man's flirting annoys him. Will Paul and Steve manage to get past their history and move on?

"House Call" has great characters and lots of emotion, and it's a real pleasure to read.
