Review

A collection of wonderful short stories with some wonderfully diverse pairings that will make swoon and fan yourself.

Some fake dating, some daddy’s, and some sweet men finding love.

I enjoyed them all but I think Elliot and Noah are my favourites. Age gap, different worlds, but both equally strong personalities, they have to work for it a bit, but it’s definitely worth it in the end. They are definitely a strong match and you can’t help but cheer when it all works out.

Read them all at once or sprinkle them amongst other books.

Synopsis

Three short stories of love found when it’s least expected.

For Fake’s Sake

When Ollie bumps into his old school bully, Monty, in a bar, he soon finds himself a speaker at a school gala. Not only that but after Monty sees him with a man, it seems he has to find a boyfriend to accompany him. Enter Jack, the stranger from the bar. He stupidly didn’t get Ollie’s number. Fate has a wonderful way of working, and the two young men find themselves fake boyfriends.

Can they pull it off without falling in love?

Table For One

It’s Pride Day, and Spencer bumps into the perfect Daddy. Can he keep him for the night? Carl walked away from his wife when he could no longer live a lie. When the fabulous twink bounces into him on a hot and sweaty night, he knows he can’t let him go after just one night. But Spencer remembers more about him, and although he knows it will break is heart he breaks off any chance of them being together.

Will Carl be able to prove it doesn’t matter, that nothing is more important than them being together?

Worth Waiting For

Elliot a gay forty-one-year-old man finds himself lost in Mexx, a top-end high street store looking for two female employee’s birthday gifts. The soft male voice not only has him looking to his side, but his heart pounding fast at the sight of the exquisite young man offering his assistance. The offer of dinner together has Noah shocked, but he shyly accepts. When Elliott is stood up, he’s not ready to write Noah off and returns to the store to find out why.

After his mum is diagnosed with MS Noah moves back home to help, which means that if she’s not well his plans get cancelled. Missing out a chance with Elliot hurts more than it should.

After being given a second chance, is the spark they felt for real. Have they both found the perfect man? The forever kind.

For Fake’s Sake was originally in a giveaway, Table For One has been available before in an anthology. Both books have been extended. Worth Waiting For is a brand-new short story.
