I read Strange Bedfellows some time ago, and for whatever reason did not publish a review of it. The following review is also posted on the Amazon page linked above. I did in fact read it when it was free.
------------------
Walter is a numbers guy, an accountant who numbs himself to the dreary
misery of his life with attention to meaningless detail at work and
random internet surfing at home. Watching him leverage a break in his
life will take you from pity to envy to admiration, with a side of
Morgan Le Fay. You can practically hear the sultry contralto as you
read Le Fay's dialog. It's a great romp that leaves you with a smile.
And pirates. There are definitely pirates.
Rhoad has a real
sense for what heroism means when the protagonist doesn't wear tights
and a cape, literally or figuratively. Look for more from him for
characters you'd be lucky to have as friends in the world we actually
live in.
