I’m not sure how I stumbled across this one, it was probably a random email from Prolific Works that I just happened to actually open and they happened to profile a MM Romance novel in it.
It’s the story of Chase, a news anchor, and Ashton, a nonprofit CEO, college acquaintances who reconnect later in life at a gala event hosted by Ashton. There’s drama and office gossip and Ashton’s adorable kid, Trent, calling things like they are even when the adults won’t.
The writing was well done, and I’d probably give Olsen another chance if I stumbled across one of her works in the wild. From what I remember the sex scenes were well written and held my attention (no poor word choice here).
Recommendation: Worth checking out if you come across it. The main characters were well written and I’ve always loved a single dad getting back out there romance. Add in that from what I remember there were great minor characters, especially the kid, and you’ve got a decent story. Olsen probably could’ve turned it into a full novel, but it works as is, so I can appreciate the restraint.
Opening Line: “‘Wake up, party animal, time to rise and shine,’ a familiar voice whispered in my ear.”
Closing Line: “‘Let’s save a bottle for later, handsome. Just you, me and the hot tub.’ I winked. ‘It’s a date.'” (Whited out to avoid spoilers, highlight to read.
