This is very romantic and hot, if that's your thing. Not really mine. I prefer a little more edge, and a slower evolving relationship. Trent and Lance sleep together on their first night (without even knowing each other), and only take two days before they are hit with insta-love. For the majority of the story, they are cocooned in Lance's trailer and avoid the outside world. I wanted more about Trent's musical disaster after being outed, and more of Lance's backstory. Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for copy. Due out on November 16. |
This is a typical, light hearted romance between an unwillingly outed country superstar and a closeted, small town deputy. Trent and Lance's relationship starts pretty quickly, there's not much conflict and everything pretty much just falls into place within two days. It's indicated in the initial stages of this story that Trent was betrayed by his bf, someone he once loved and trusted, in no way do we see Trent grieve or take time to discover who he really is as a gay a man after hiding in the proverbial closet for years. Instead he immediately falls for Lance, within the same day his world falls apart and basically the whole plot beyond that point becomes a plethora of clichés and mediocrity. I don't think there was any substance to this story except for basic entertainment and even in that regard I found it to be lacking. If that's what you're looking for guys, feel free to give this one a try,as for me, I'm over it. |

A quick moving fun romance between Trent a just outed country music megastar and Lance a small town cop. I am not usually a fan of insta-romance but their attraction felt real and I loved the chemistry between the two. After his devastating public outing Trent needs time to regroup and decide how to move forward with his life, Being gay in the music business he believes will be the kiss of death to his career and he needs alone time to process this new chapter of his life. Now that he was forced Out he will not deny it He decides to lay low in a small Texas town where his best friend Lemon lives her fiancee. The fellows accidentally meet during a simple mix up and sparks fly. i look forward to reading more. maybe another story featuring Trents twin? My fingers are crossed. |
I will admit I wasn't expecting a lot of realism from a country superstar hides in a small town story. This book, however, was an extremely pleasant surprise. The realism is what stuck out to me most. The characters acknowledged every issue I could have had in a way that really made it work for me. The writing and pacing was also excellent and I think this is a book I will remember for a long time. |
I really wanted to enjoy this book, but this was so insta-love my neck still hurts from the whip lash. There was zero character development only that both were hot and their sexual appeal alone was enough for the other one (in this case Lance) to forget a lifetime of fear of coming out of the closet and does it in front of the entire media. It was entirely cringe worthy really. Or maybe its just me.. |
Mini Review:::::::: I loved this book SO MUCH. Honestly, I went into it expecting to give it three stars, simply because I realized it was shorter than I initially expected. I guess it was a mood thing; I was in the mood for a long, slow-burn m/m. But I ended up adoring the story, the character, the smut, and the pacing!!! Sometimes insta-love just works! This was one of those times. The two main characters communicated constantly, respected one another, and their feelings felt so intense + genuine. I would recommend for anyone in the mood for a quick romance that will make you say "ahhhhh" many times. **A longer review on Goodreads/Blog to come, |

This was between a three and a four star read for me, but ultimately I decided on a four out of five. I enjoyed the relationship between Trent and Lance, but feel they fell in love too quickly. I wish that it was more drawn out over a few weeks at least. I liked that Trent was willing to be with Lance and not out him, but found Lance’s willingness to out himself after a few days with Trent very odd, especially considering his panic attack when Lemon finds out about them. I liked that both characters had multiple sides to them, like how Trent was dominant but also had a sweet and soft side. I thought this was well written but a little too fast paced, and the epilogue focused a little too much on Lulu for my tastes. I decided on a higher rating because it was well written despite the issues I had with it. :) |

Country music superstar, Trent Thorne is on the run. What he’s kept hidden from the world is no longer a secret. He trusted the wrong person, a man he’d stupidly thought he was in love with, and instead of a happily ever after all he’d gotten was outed.When I started reading I couldn't put it down. Jess Bryant is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book. |
