Fanboy in the Falls by J.E. Birk (Devon Falls: A Small Town MM Romance Series Book 3)


A Hollywood celebrity, a professional race car driver, and a guy who's trying to to raise his ringer brother are brought together under unusual circumstances. Things are heating up in Devon Falls as a fire at the Inn brings Gabe, Colin and Tom together and gives them a chance to explore their desires in a whole new way... 


From the Fanboy in the Falls blurb:

My two celebrity crushes might both be into me. What could be wrong with that? As it turns out: everything.

The world has thrown me a lot of challenges over the years, but I’ve always tried to stay positive. Life’s too short to dwell on the negative. Unfortunately, my situation just took a very complex turn: I’m raising my little brother alone right now, but I’ve got to keep that a secret. If anyone finds out, I risk losing Lou.

My secret gets tough to keep when two international celebrities show up in our small town and start paying me all kinds of attention. I’ve got zero dating experience and plenty of reasons to stay away from them both, but keeping my distance isn’t going to be easy. First there’s Colin, the quiet and brooding former race car driver who seems uninterested in everyone and everything…except me. And then there’s Tom, the charming movie star, who flirts with me like it’s his job. Oh, and did I mention the two of them are best friends? Or that I think Tom might have some very deeply hidden feelings for Colin?

I’m definitely in over my head here. If I want to keep Lou safe, I know it’s best that I keep both men at arm’s length. So what do I do? I start renovating a hotel with them.

Oops. But I’m sure if I just stay positive, everything will work out fine. Right?

Right?

Fanboy in the Falls is an MMM famous people/commoner romance. It comes with a brooding race car driver, a hopelessly romantic movie star, and the sweet cinnamon roll who is not supposed to fall in love with either of them. It has a guaranteed HEA and no cheating. This is a Devon Falls book, so of course it also comes with a leaf festival and plenty of small town quirk. This is the third book in the Devon Falls series, but it can be read as a standalone.


Angel's review:

Tom, Colin, and Gabe's story is one that I won't forget anytime soon. Devon Falls is full of magic and has a way of bringing people together, and being that place where they fall in love. When Tom, Colin, and Gabe say "There's something in the air in Devon Falls", it's so accurate, there's just something about that town that is truly magical.

I've been waiting for Gabe's story ever since his character got tipsy at the opening of the Winery, he was just really interesting and I wanted to learn more. And guess what? I got to it this book!! My heart was breaking for Gabe and Lou after they both lost their mother and who they knew their stepdad/biological dad to be. It was beautiful to see the bond Gabe and Lou have with each other, and I just love Lou. He's so cute and adorable, he's free in a lot of ways others don't let themselves be and I think that's a really beautiful thing.

Tom and Colin frustrated me a little bit with how their romantic relationship came to be... Mainly because both men were a bit oblivious when it came to each other's romantic feelings, but having said that I do get why it was written the way it was. It made sense to have their moment drawn out a bit further. I liked these three men together, once they got out of their own way they made a really great unit, and I loved seeing each of these men fight for Lou.

I'm looking forward to more stories set in this wonderful town and now I'm off to read the bonus scene that's in the back of this book!


Heather's Review:

I love when a Vee relationship turns into a loving poly family... Both Colin and Tom can admit that they're attracted to Gabe, and that they're not really jealous of the other's relationship with him, opening themselves to possibilities also sheds light on a long time crush, a best friends to lovers opportunity and helps them create their forever family in a way that supports both Gabe and his sibling, Lou!

For me, Lou steals the show - so authentically themselves and so loved and protected by Gabe, the romance is lovely, but the family story is what tugged at my heartstrings.  Don't get me wrong, the progression from bosses/besties and employee to lovers totally rocks and gives you all the steamy goodness that comes with MMM romance, mixed with just the right amount of anxiety and angst, but if you don't finish the book loving the whole found family and community support of Lou, you need to go back and re-read this book!
