Jaclyn Osborne's writing tends to be a hit with me. Even if I dont LOVE the book, I always at least like them. This fell in the like category for me.
Declan is famous and spends the majority of the book cursing himself in his head and being paranoid about people finding out he's gay. Ky is a challenge for him, as in he can't ignore him and stay away like he normally does.
The age old tale of fuck buddies becoming complicated by feelings occurs, but it still doesn't stop Declan's fears. Or the months long separation between the two before Declan pulls his head out of his ass and gets the help he needs.
One real bright spot in the story is Ky's bestie Brysen. His outrageous blurty personality is my cuppa and I can't wait until his book. (My hope is he ends up with a certain body guard hehe). He definitely provided some fun comedic relief from the agnst.
I’ll notice you, babe. And I’ll totally scream in the theater, ‘That’s my bestie!’ Then, I’ll throw popcorn in the air like confetti.”
Royal is the 3rd bestie in Ky's tripod of friends and it appears book 2 is about him. I def liked this start to the series to continue on. 3.75 stars

When last dictates present
This book is a true representation of that. But in the end you’ll find you’re the only one allowing yourself to be back.
As expected, I loved this book and have loved everyone one of Jaclyn’s books I’ve read. She’s a truly, gifted author.

This was such a cute, sexy and fun MM romance! It's about Declan Price, a famous actor coming to Addersfield to film for his upcoming movie and small town guy Kyler! They meet on set where Kyler is an extra in Declan's movie. They agree to one night because Declan isn't out publicly but it turns into much more than that...*wink*
I loved both main characters but I gotta say I have thing for Kyler and his friends. I absolutely adored the scenes of Royal, Kyler and Brysen together. Brysen especially has me suuuuper excited and I canna wait for his book!!! He's so flamboyant and crazy and I just know his book is gonna be awesome!
All in all, a great new series to keep on your radar if you like MM romance! This book is perfect for you if you're looking for a feel good romance with a little bit of angst and a whole lotta feels!
This was another hit for me, I've really been enjoying everything Jaclyn Osborn has released recently and she's fast becoming one of my favs!

I adored these two sweet men
I never shy away from the books about a man coming out. This was a beautiful story about Kyler, who idolizes actor Declan, while Declan is dealing with some major skeletons in his closet, which keep him deep inside said closet. Kyler and Declan meet on the set of Declan’s newest movie, a run of the mill romance that Declan gets no substance from. Kyler is an extra and has fantasized about Declan numerous times. So, when Declan seeks him out, he is visibly flustered, creating a disaster that sets in motion a relationship he never dreamed possible.
What starts out as a no strings mutual attraction, it is clear from the very beginning that both boys are becoming way too invested for this to end cleanly at the end of Declan’s ‘on location’ stay in Kyler’s town. It’s not just a matter of Declan manning up and stepping out of the closet, since he has deep rooted issues in his past that prevent him from living his best life. Can their feelings for each other surpass the Hollywood spotlight and Declan’s tragic past?
I loved these boys so much. They were so real. Kyler has amazing friends and I cannot wait to delve into Royal’s story next. But what I really cannot wait for is (hopefully at some point) Brysen’s story. I have a feeling I know what is going to happen, but I will wait patiently to see if I am correct. Brysen is my absolute favorite!!!!!
