Returning Your Love: A Small-Town Gay Romance by Lynn Burke
4.5
This book was dramatic af AND all the characters are unlikable. But why did I like the two mmc's anyway?! It's a true conundrum.
Jamie and Chaz are pining childhood besties. But Chaz is married to a woman [and I have SO MUCH TO SAY about her, but I can't because of spoilers] and he thinks Jamie is straight. Jamie loves Chaz and is prepared to be miserable and pine alone forever... and maybe sleep with Chaz doppelgangers to get through the loneliness.
Then WE LEARN THINGS.
BIG THINGS. 👀
There is cheating in this book, but not between Chaz/Jamie. Less spoilery and more of a warning.
I wanted these two to get it together SO MUCH. They obviously belong with each other, but god, they are both MESSES. Like, how are they even alive?
Pippen Creek is gonna be a wild series. Jamie's dad was great, and I bet his book, the next book, is gonna be smoking hot. I bet he's a freaky deaky. I can't wait!
This love story was a mess. It felt real. Real as in ✨️maybe you CAN make it work with your ex. Let's call them & bang it out and then be surprised it didn't solve everything✨️ But it all still surprisingly worked out.
I'm glad Chaz and Jamie worked their issues/trauma/grief/madness out & got to their HEA. It was an adventure getting there.
RETURNING YOUR LOVE will be available on the 20th.
