  HAIL MARY Big Bend Bears - Book Two by Nicole Dykes Release Date: December 9, 2024 Review Benny is an aggressively sunshiny guy who is blindly fearless to others' opinions. Rowan on the hand needs a big old hug and a lot of loving. When his mother died, he was left with an a-hole bigot of a father, adding to the fact that they live in a small largely bigoted town. I adored Benny in the previous book, but I was admittedly a little frustrated with his almost refusal to understand why Rowan didn’t want to come out, as well as Benny’s refusal to take no for an answer. But it’s a fast-paced story, and they do make a cute couple. And it’s always satisfying to watch the grumpy/hurt guy find love and acceptance. I especially loved Benny’s parents. They are such warm people.  Here’s hoping Big Bend learns so much more love and acceptance soon. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis Benny Big Bend is my home. I love it here. I love everything about it. It’s my senior year, and I...
