Premise: Kai and Silas have been best friends sinc Premise: Kai and Silas have been best friends since they were in their teens. While Kai’s feelings for Silas have deepened, Silas has never seen him as anything more – and how could he, when he’s straight as an arrow? Kai knows he needs to do something to stop himself from getting hurt; to stop Silas hurting him. A clean break might be just the thing. After all, it’s not like Silas needs him as more than a friend, right?⁣
⁣
Come for the… on-stage dirty dancing! 😜 Kai and Silas’ sexual chemistry is off the charts, Silas’ obliviousness notwithstanding. And as Silas starts to work out what’s going on, it only gets hotter…⁣
⁣
Stay for the… feelings. God, this is the best kind of angst. It’s heartbreaking but also all gonna be worth it in the end. Plus, there’s found-family feelings, there’s family-that-pseudo-adopted-you-in-your-teens feelings, there’s jealousy and loneliness and finally getting all your dreams come true. UGH. Amazing.⁣
⁣
Similar reads: I don’t read enough contemporary/friends-to-lovers for this but possibly @jackienorth_author's The Cook and The Gangster? Like, if Silas and Kai didn’t see each other for a long time, it might go like that. 😅⁣
⁣
Verdict: 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸⁣
⁣
I’m not a friends-to-lovers kind of reader (sometimes I just think it’s boring, which means nothing more than it’s not for me) but the gay pining and angst in this had me hooked from the moment Kai and Silas appeared in White Noise. And then all that backstory? I loved it; I love the nuance with the way @larktaylorauthor’s written about growing up on council estates (Kai is the first time I’ve felt SEEN wrt this – there’s a lot going on for a lot of different people but usually you only see the Silas variant of this story) and then how growing into fame can really change your life in a way that isn’t necessarily better.⁣
⁣
And then their whole relationship??? GAH. Silas, I love you, but bb open those pretty eyes and look at what you’re missing. Perfect. I don’t think I’m emotionally ready for whatever’s going on with Arlo, but I’ll make it. 😂⁣
⁣
Get Green Light TOMORROW! ✨⁣

What is the true nature of the relationship between the guitarist and bassist of the world-famous rock band, Caffeine Daydreams?⁣
⁣
Kai⁣
⁣
I should be happy.⁣
My childhood best friend and I are living our wildest dream—making music and touring the world as famous rock stars. I’ve got everything I could wish for.⁣
Except him.⁣
I’ll never have Silas. Not the way I want.⁣
Our onstage behaviour gives fans a lot to speculate over, but it’s only an act.⁣
The truth is, I die inside every time we touch. It might be pretend for Silas, but for me, it’s a constant reminder that I can’t have him the way I truly desire.⁣
Then, a moment onstage leads me to a breaking point, and I can’t bear the heartache any longer.⁣
I need to find a way to only see Silas as a friend before I lose our friendship, and him, forever.⁣
⁣
Silas⁣
⁣
My life is split into two chapters.⁣
Before Kai and After Kai.⁣
My childhood was a nightmare. A darkness I carried alone. But everything became brighter when I met Kai. He took me into his life, his family, his home.⁣
Kai is more than my best friend. He’s my everything.⁣
Some people think our relationship is odd…that it’s unusual for two friends to be as close as we are.⁣
But everything about us makes sense.⁣
At least, that’s what I believed.⁣
When an onstage moment shines a light on the cracks in our foundation, my eyes are opened to a truth that’s been right in front of me the entire time.⁣
A truth I want to explore.⁣
But it’s too late. Just when I’m ready for more, Kai’s moving on.⁣
One thing’s for sure; I’m not giving up.⁣
No matter the risks.⁣
⁣
Green Light is a bi-awakening, best friends-to-lovers MM rockstar romance. The 2nd in the Caffeine Daydreams series, each book will follow a different couple as they find their HEA. These books can stand alone. #RockstarRomance
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⁣ ⁣ OKAY so I read Patienc 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⁣
⁣
OKAY so I read Patience like a week ago and I am OBSESSED. Love this! Love Ferry, love Leo, absolutely adore Danny (sorry not sorry that I am so interested in everyone's side characters) and this was such a fun start to the new series!⁣
⁣
Anyway, I wrote an entire-ass review over on my blog 👉 1001reads.com, but the tl;dr is: check out this book! Not that it's spooky, but we're getting into spooky season, and this is adjacent and it's super hot, super cute, often laugh-out-loud funny and ALL the guys are hanging out being in each other's business.⁣

What else do you want? 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣

✨ NOW LIVE ✨⁣ ⁣ Reactant (Chain Reaction B ✨ NOW LIVE ✨⁣
⁣
Reactant (Chain Reaction Book 2) is LIVE! 💞⁣
⁣
💫 Get it here: https://mybook.to/Reactant_CR2 ⁣
⁣
Chain Reaction is an MMMMM steamy suspense series following the same five men. Catalyst (book 1) begins with four men in a tangled web of friends to lovers and second chances. Reactant (book 2) adds a fifth man to their already complicated lives.⁣
⁣
💫 If you haven’t read Catalyst yet, now is the perfect time. Get it here: https://mybook.to/Catalyst_CR1 ⁣
⁣
❤️ MMMMM polyfidelity romance⁣
👀 Suspense⁣
🧡 Hurt/comfort⁣
💜 Bodyguard⁣
😏 Forced proximity⁣
🔥 Sizzling attraction⁣
🥵 Sexy suits⁣
🥺 Will loves food⁣
⁣
When the chemistry between the five men explodes, the stakes get even higher.⁣
⁣
Jericho Rowlands has spent most of his life living under different names, doing the dirty work required to keep Sydney safe. Quinn, Peyton, Will, and Sebastian have the weight of history and mistakes and missed opportunities between all of them, making an already-complicated situation harder. None of them can deny the magnetic pull holding them together as they try to muddle through what their new normal will look like. Jericho isn’t supposed to be part of it, but they can’t ignore their instant connection with him when he falls into their orbit.⁣
⁣
They’re racing against the clock, and unless they can figure out who’s gunning for them from the shadows, the future they're fighting for could be out of reach.⁣
⁣
Reactant is a 100,000-word MMMMM romance that ends in a HFN. It is Book 2 in an ongoing series that follows the same five men and their relationship. It is not a standalone whatsoever and begins directly after the end of Catalyst (Chain Reaction Book 1).⁣
⁣
This is an Aurora Crane novel. That means it's written in third person, there are a myriad of poly characters, it's a sprawling universe with lots of side characters and cameos, and of course, there’s lots of snarky banter and idiots falling in love.⁣
