Continuing with the Rainbow Rescue Cat Cafe series, we meet Luke and get to know what really makes Sebastian purr...
From the Disaster Stray blurb:
No kissing. No repeats. Those are the rules that have kept me safe, kept me hidden. But I couldn't avoid Sebastian even if I wanted to.
Luke
After what happened to my brother, I swore I’d never come out of the closet. I live my life through anonymous hookups and one-time encounters.
But when my high school students graffiti a local café with a cruel word, I’m forced to step in and take a risk.
I go to the café to smooth things over, but I never expect to meet him in the process.
Sebastian is everything I’m not: fashionable, brave, magnetic — and very much out of the closet. Our instant attraction makes it difficult for me to say no. Part of me wants to tell him everything, but that would require actual courage, and I don’t know if I have what it takes.
Sebastian
As a dancer at a nightclub, I’m used to being eye candy. I’m used to being desired, if only for a night.
Luke is the total opposite of the men I usually meet: sweet, dorky, soft — and utterly unavailable. He says we can’t kiss. He says we have to keep this secret. He says this can never happen again.
Yet somehow we keep colliding.
I want so desperately for this connection to be real. I want it to be more than a fling. I want to mean more to Luke than disposable fun. And I think I can, if he’ll just open up and take a risk.
Disaster Stray is an opposites attract small town MM romance with a size difference, a coming out story, spicy open door scenes, and, of course, lots of cats. Go to linktr.ee/faraywrites for CWs.
Heather's Review:
I love the depth and quality of F.A. Ray's characters backstories and how those weave into the story. I really like how their lives parallel in so many ways, including their love of teaching and also how much Sebastian supports Luke in his journey of acceptance.
I loved getting to see Luke and his brother reconnect and watch as Sebastian finds true satisfaction in his relationship and his life.
If you like a romance with instant connection and a dollop of angst, you'll enjoy Disaster Stray.
Miki.J.'s review:
When I started this book, I felt quite sad for both MC's.... both have switched off emotionally for differing reasons. One guy who thinks he doesn't deserve love and the other just too scared to even admit his true self....let alone what he feels. But as soon as they meet, this tentative connection makes them want and hope and feel......but, boy-oh-boy, it felt like I was in an emotional dodge'm cars game...didn't matter how or where you'd steer, does it own thing anyway!!! There's a lot of going back'n'forth but I found the story very well written and I was emotionally invested. Yes, I was doing the "c'mon" and "oh maaaan" ........and that lightbulb moment....oh sweet - "...because sometimes it felt easier to keep being scared instead of taking a chance." Take that chance.......
(You could totally read this as a standalone)
