James had an one night stand with Alex, even when James is in a serious relationship with Travis.
Travis forgave him and James came back home, end of the story.
If I was Travis, I would had leave James under the bridge, the unfaithful loser.

I can’t possibly not like this story, since, more or less, I asked for it. Yes, if you will buy it, and will read the dedica, it starts with “For Elisa…” and yes, that is me. When I read The Wish, and I wrote about it, my main worry was that, despite the happily ever after for the couple in that story, Alex, one of them, was really mean with a young boy, barely 21 years old, he met in a nightclub. That boy, James was pretty and cute, but he gave me the idea of not being “strong”, and when Alex k...more

Now here's an interesting idea. In this story the author has taken a scene from her book The Wish, and re-written it from the perspective of the other character. The scene is from the beginning of the book where Alex deliberately comes between a couple who look to be in love and takes one of them home for a night of sex. The man in question is James who has recently left all he had, his job, his friends and his family, to move across the country to be with his lover Travis. They are celebrating...more

A side story from Winters' The Wish, we are shown what happened with the one-night stand Alex had that night before he went home.
It's a touching story, if brief, and the sex in it feels more dirty than sexy as our narrator (James) recalls the events after the fact.
Having already read The Wish, I skimmed some of the flashback scenes, but they are a necessary element, especially for readers who aren't familiar with the larger work. James and Travis are a cute couple, very human and realistic, wh...more

This touching story of finding one's way in a relationship stands alone, but is even richer for being a spin-off of a very character-revealing scene for Alex in Eden's novel "The Wish" - an excellent read in its own right.
The structure is a great part of the charm -- James leaves the club with a sizzling hot stranger, and only the next morning does he listen to the messages his boyfriend left over the course of the night, all the while remembering what he'd been doing and how he felt at the time...more

really nice little story<3
A very short follow up to the guy, Alex had a quicky with in The Wish..
Yes, Alex broke up the couple, but apparently love conquers all, because the couple ended up together the next day.. Awww.. ;o)
With that said, I would SO rather have had a follow up to The Wish? I want to see how they are doing now, if they are still in love (of course they are) and how many kids they got with the lesbian biker.. lol Pleaseeee??

This is a stand-alone story based on a scene from an earlier book The Wish. A sweet, slightly sad spin-off from The Wish featuring two minor characters. James and Travis seem very young and their relationship has suffered what might have been a death blow at the start of this story. But they do get a happy ending which was very doubtful after their appearance in The Wish.
3.5-4
I haven't read "The Wish" but I put it on my wish list now! :)
Even if I normally detest cheaters, this story was written so that I empathized with both James and Travis and am glad that they will still make a go of their relationship!
Both of the MCs are still so young, yet have a mature outlook that served them well!

Boy Under a Bridge is a quick read. It’s not a “fun” story in the sense that you are reading about a painful night for two men who love each other and both feel terribly hurt. However, a satisfying HEA brings it all together and left me hopeful that both of them had learned a hard lesson that will keep them from making assumptions that lead to serious consequences.
I recommend Boy Under a Bridge for anyone who enjoys a well written short story and a tale of persistence paying off.

This is such a good sweet story about what happens to Alex's one night stand from The Wish. Alex's treatment of James was atrocious and when he was summarily dismissed, we didn't know what became of James and Travis, his boyfriend he left behind at the club.
I loved the interplay between James and Travis in during their diner conversation and was happy to see a resolution for them.
Thanks Eden!

A great story of how love can overcome anything, in a sweet way. Nothing terrible happens but where many would give up, these two worked through it.
I do not mind cheating, it's interesting to know how different people deal with it and solve the problem. 3.5 stars, leaning towards 4.
an okay little "the wish" spinoff. he's getting off too easy though for my taste.
I know that everyone hates a cheater, but everyone makes mistakes.
Everyone has that chance to learn from their mistakes, and change. Great follow-up!
