We Need to Talk by Sophia Soames

Four little words that no one ever wants to hear from a past or current hook up… WE NEED TO TALK.this is a drunken one night stand holiday hook up turned into something more. If you can imagine two people falling into a whirlwind romance this is for you.


From the blurb:

A drunken mistake, and a one-night stand. It was never supposed to be more than that.

Noah Fairweather doesn’t care what it looks like. Going on holiday with your parents is all rather civilised and normal, even for an almost forty-something British doctor. Anyway, it’s a gorgeous beach resort, all-inclusive food, and the room is actually a villa with a private little terrace. Deckchairs, sun, sea, sand and he’s already eyed up a bottle of nice Shiraz on the room service menu.

What he hadn’t quite counted on was ending up being someone’s…ridiculous rebound shag.

Fair enough, but…now he’s got a bloke in his bed and his parents next door, and the guy…
Crap.
This wasn’t at all what this holiday was supposed to be about. There’s no future here, is there? Can a simple hook-up, a million miles from home…ever become something real?

Nah. Life doesn’t work like that. Does it?

We need to talk is a standalone novel.


Molly Otto's review:

Four little words that no one ever wants to hear from a past or current hook up… we need to talk….
Noah & Riley have a messy arse one night holiday fling that was supposed to be just that a holiday fling. Then real life happens and guess who are back into each other’s lives. What starts with an awkward af conversation turns into meaningful soul bonding conversations. When things are starting to hit that perfect sweet spot, enter Bailey, the boy who is about to change everything once again. Bailey takes what is an amazing growing connection and makes it something stronger and better, something that you know will forge these mens connections for a lifetime. The emotional connections of these men is so palpable who a truly brilliant writer is able to bring this amount of depth in what could be a fairly simple plotline, just shows the true genius that they are as a writer.


SNik's review:

Standalone. Mature characters. Instalove. Dual POV. 

Noah is on vacation to celebrate his 40th birthday - with his parents. Fox is on the island for his annual trip with supposed friends but his ex is there as well. A drunken headmaster with a sunburnt foot is luckily found by a lonely doctor and the care turns to lust which begins a fairytale-like connection that neither man can deny. 

There’s something about the way this author writes men falling love that brings all the swoon, all the yearning, and all the hope that what they feel is meant to last. Fox and Noah have different backgrounds, they live far apart, and have their own insecurities, but they desperately cling to each other as they attempt to make it work. There were twists and turns, supportive (sometimes overbearing) secondary characters, and luckily a quick and easy resolution to how they come together in the end (suspend disbelief a bit and this is such a sweet romance). I thoroughly enjoyed every moment Fox and Noah spent together, as well as getting to know them and how they threw caution to the wind in order to pursue their dream life together.
