If you're looking for a brother's best friend with a childhood crush story, with opposites attract and bi-awakening energy, look no further than Catching Sparkles!
From the blurb:
Rhys - It’s been a decade since I left the tiny backwoods town I grew up in, on track to be a pro football player. Now I’m back in the most pathetic way possible: jobless, in the middle of a divorce, and staying with my parents. I’m completely miserable until I reconnect with Kendall, my younger brother’s childhood best friend and my parents’ honorary third son. The massive crush he’s always had on me is still in full effect, and he has absolutely no qualms about expressing it. I’m straight, but the attention he gives me is starting to feel kind of… addictive. I find myself making excuses to be around him all the time, but that’s just because he’s so nice to me, right? Or am I actually developing feelings for a guy?
Kendall - Rhys Kensington has been my dream boyfriend since I was a little kid. When he comes back to Cherryvale after a string of terrible life events, I realize the ten year separation didn’t change my feelings at all. If anything, seeing him so beaten down and unhappy only makes me want him more. He’s never been into a guy before, but when I make it my personal mission to soothe his bitter, broken spirit by building his ego back up, I can tell he’s questioning everything he thought he knew about himself. It’s unbelievable, but the closer we get the more I realize I’m exactly what he needs in his life. Now I just have to convince him.
Catching Sparkles is a guaranteed HEA dual 1st POV bi-awakening romance featuring a grumpy jock with a secret praise kink and the sunshine power bottom twink who loves indulging him. Opposites attract, size difference, lingerie, and lots of spice and fluff.
Heather's review:
Sometimes when you pick up a new read, you are hoping to escape into the pages and lose yourself in a fluffy, spicy, low angst read and this one totally delivers! Perfect for a rainy autumn weekend, or that Fall holiday escape, you'll be grinning from ear to ear as you watch Kendall go all out to dislodge the grumpy rain cloud Rhys is living under and help him find his own Sparkle...
I love that this book explores praise kink, explicit consent and dips a toe into gender fluidity and explores bi-awakening, self-awareness and of family!
