Review
This is a cute premise for a story. Falling in love with your roommate but not knowing if they return the feelings. No matter what you do to show them, they don’t respond. Until your landlady introduces you to the concept of love languages. So of course you decide to conduct an experiment to see if maybe you’ve been doing it wrong.
Chris embarks on a journey testing these ideas in very cute ways. Perhaps they aren’t the most scientific experiments but then getting the right outcome is all that matters.
This was a nice little Thanksgiving friends-to-lovers romance with a sweet happy ending.

Synopsis
What do you do when you can’t figure out if your roommate is interested in more?
Try out the Five Love Languages on him, of course.
Like bros do.
I’ve wanted my roommate, Oliver, since the day we moved in together five years ago. There’s just one problem: I’ve never been in a relationship with a man before. And I don’t know if Oliver is into men… or anyone other than his microscope. And I’ve been doing everything I can to not think about it. Okay, three problems, but who’s counting?
But when our sweet-but-nosy landlady forces a copy of the Five Love Languages on me, the sight of the book sends Oliver into some kind of dark mood. I’m skeptical about the whole love language thing, but my curiosity gets the better of me: What is Oliver’s love language, and why won’t he talk about it?
If I want to find out, I'll just have to take a leaf from Oliver’s book and perform a science experiment of my own. I'll try showing him how I feel using all five love languages, record the results... and hope that by the end of our upcoming Friendsgiving gathering, I’ll have something new to be thankful for.
Speak My Language is a 15,000-word low angst M/M romantic novella featuring cozy fall vibes, unexpected birds, roommates-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers, a feastworthy Thanksgiving meal, and a super steamy and romantic first time. All books in the Slow Burn Holidays series can be read as standalones and in any order.
About Nico Flynn
Nico Flynn is all about stories that are heartwarming and steamy in equal measure, always with a healthy dose of humor. Bring on the snappy banter, mutual pining, and well-earned happy endings!
Nico lives a wild life out in the country with too many dogs, a family, video games, and a whole lot of books. If new releases suddenly stop, you can assume Nico was swallowed up by an out-of-control tomato plant or eaten by a bear.
After years of writing across age groups and genres in the traditional publishing arena, Nico is thrilled (and terrified) to finally be taking this first step on the indie side. It’s a wide and wonderful world out here!
