#SpotlightSaturday this week is courtesy of Sonia Blue, who brings us a fun excerpt from Ravenous, second in the Pointe of Love series. This sounds like so much fun, I do love a good Age Gap story. Once you've read and enjoyed the excerpt, the book is available now.
From the blurb:
Ollie only has two rules: low calories and no straight men. But then fate brings him Finn.
Finn Cooper could use a break. He’s been alone for so long that it’s starting to take a toll and watching his best friend find The One only rubs salt in his solitary wound. Resigned to being a constant third wheel, he’s blindsided when one night his rideshare passenger is Ollie - a patch of sunshine with golden curls who captivates him and leaves him wanting more. Finn’s never been with a man before but he doesn’t think that matters until he runs headfirst into Ollie’s rule.
As fate connects them in surprising ways their attraction grows and so does Ollie’s restriction, for he has secrets to hide. Smitten and unaware, Finn fights for a chance at love, but when his past steps in it may cost them everything.
Will Ollie and Finn be able to break the rules, survive their secrets, and find their way to happiness together?
Ravenous is the 115K second book in The Pointe of Love series. It contains an age gap, gay for you romance with hurt/comfort, nicknames, wedding bloopers, makeovers, tennis battles, vampire movie marathons, enough heat to keep your drink steaming while you read, and an HEA with no cliffhangers.
All books in The Pointe of Love series can be read as standalones, as they each follow a different couple, but they’re much more fun when read together.
There are topics in this book that may be difficult for some people. Please check the forward for content warnings.
Excerpt:
“Is vanilla an actual flavor or is it like…plain?” Finn rubbed his chin. He’d opted for the carrot cake and Ollie was beginning to see a pattern. First the carrot cake muffin at Vice and Virtue and now actual carrot cake?
“It’s a flavor. It’s vanilla. Oh my god, I can’t believe that I have to explain this to you when you ordered vegetables for dessert.”
“It’s carrot cake. Cake and icing, not just carrots. I thought you liked vegetables?”
“I do. But not for dessert.”
Finn laughed. “You have some strong opinions about sweets.”
“And you have some bad takes about ice cream.”
“Do I? Hear me out.” Finn’s eyes were full of mischief. “Chocolate is a flavor. So is rocky road. And pistachio. But vanilla is a base. The beginning. You need to add things like chocolate chips or caramel to it to make it an actual flavor.”
“It’s still a flavor though. Otherwise, it would be called plain. It’s called vanilla because it tastes like vanilla.” Why were they even debating this?
“It tastes like paper. No flavor, hence it is not a flavor.” Finn waggled his finger as if he were a scientist making a point and Ollie couldn’t help but smile.
“How do you know what paper tastes like?” Ollie asked as the waitress came back, putting their desserts in front of them and giving Finn a raised eyebrow before she left. “And just because you say it’s not a flavor doesn’t mean that you’re right.”
“I’m going to need to see a citation on that.” Finn winked, digging into his cake.
Ollie ignored his ice cream, typing on his phone. “Aha!” He turned the screen toward Finn, gesturing around it like he was presenting a prize on a game show. “It says right here that vanilla is the world’s most popular aroma and flavor.”
“You know you can’t trust everything you read on the internet.” Finn held out a little carrot cake on his fork. “Would you like to try some?”
“Of your vegetable cake? Nope, I’ll stick with my delicious flavor of ice cream,”
