Forfatteren skriver i bogen, at sådan som verdenen var (og er) havde hun lyst til at skrive en let og romantisk historie, som man kunne glemme lidt af det trælse i, mens man læser. Og det er præcis, hvad man får. Ingen store konflikter, men masser af romantik

Falling for the guy sleeping down the hall was never part of the plan.
When I told my brother I’d do anything to save our dad’s diner, I should have been more specific. Obviously, I didn't mean I'd go on a reality dating show to drum up business for the place.

But since I know a thing or two about taking one for the team, I suit up, hop on a plane, and head to a mansion in L.A. where I’ll spend the next several weeks pretending to woo my future wife.

Only, in a surprise twist absolutely no one saw coming, she’s not the person I’m falling for.

The suave, confidant man who sleeps just across the hall, though? My feelings for him are a whole different story.

Kai Sheridan elsker bøger og cola, men hader ærter, Leonardo DiCaprio, matematik og at træffe beslutninger. Derfor kommer det mildest talt bag på ham selv, da han i et vildt øjeblik beder skolens lækreste og mest populære fyr om at være hans date. Bryson Keller, som drømmefyren hedder, har indgået et væddemål; hver uge skal han date en ny for at bevise, at datinglivet i high school er spild af tid. At date Bryson Keller vender op og ned på Kais liv, for hvordan kan et fake forhold føles så ægte - og hvordan går han fra at være skabshomo til at være åben om sin seksualitet?

Det er en rigtig charmerende bog som man griner og smiler sig igennem.

I came to Whispering Key for a job. That was all. To show the world Mason Bloom could be more than a small-town doctor living a medium-sized life.

Private doctor on a swanky island with a posh resort? Check.

But from the moment I set foot on this island, nothing went according to plan.

I didn’t expect to find the resort falling apart.
I didn’t expect the people here to be so charming and crazy and welcoming and real.
I didn’t expect legends about shipwrecks and buried treasure.
And I definitely didn’t expect Fenn Reardon, the island’s incredibly attractive, incredibly infuriating, incredibly male resident tour guide, to become the one person I can’t live without.

Thirty-five’s a bit late for me to realize I'm not straight, though, right? And I have big dreams that won’t fit on Whispering Key, anyway—dreams that do not include tying myself to a tiny island stuck in the past or to a man who refuses to think about the future.


En bog fyldt med en masse interessante bipersoner, som jeg vil glæde mig til at læse mere om i de kommende bøger i serien

What is “normal”?

When Brandon Kenner shows up at Kasey Ralston’s garage with a 1970 Chevelle SS 454, Kasey is smitten by both the man and his car. But Kasey is hiding an embarrassing secret: his love for old muscle cars goes beyond what most would consider normal. His unusual fetish has kept Kasey isolated—estranged from his family and even distant from his coworkers.

But when Brandon figures out the hot mechanic’s secret, he’s not repulsed. In fact, he finds Kasey intriguing, and he’s determined to have him for himself.

Everything about Brandon revs Kasey’s engine, and he’s more than willing to get down and dirty with the charming man. What worries Kasey is what will happen after. Is there any chance of a future for them? In the past, expecting anything long-term has only led to heartbreak. But Kasey can’t help hoping that, despite Kasey’s fetish, Brandon will be the exception

Dustin Walker has no idea that avoiding the search for Mrs. Right could send him into the arms and bed of Mr. Right Now. According to Dustin's mother, he should be out looking for his next wife so he won't be the divorced black sheep of the family. Instead, he passes his free time at a local bar and pool hall, where he meets someone who's everything his ex-wife wasn't: funny, caring, faithful... and male.

Is Brandon Stewart just Dustin’s way of getting over a bitter divorce? Can Dustin really care for him, or is it simply that Brandon is the complete opposite of his ex-wife? Dustin keeps their affair as quiet as possible, because if it continues, he knows he'll eventually have to come out to his homophobic family or walk out on the man he's trying not to love.

Miller:
When Talon left to play pro ball six years ago, the hole in my chest confused me. I focused my heartache into making my own NFL dreams come true, and by the time I was drafted, the longing I had for my best friend was buried deep.Now he wants everything to be like it was in college, but we can't have threesomes and be reckless like we once were. The media storm would be enough to break both our careers.That's not my biggest concern though. The torch I had for him burns brighter after so long apart, and there's nothing I can do about it. Marcus Talon is straight.I need to stay away from him.

Talon:

Years ago, Miller and I made a pact that we'd win a Super Bowl together. When I'm offered a position on his team in Chicago, I don't hesitate. I move across the country to chase a dream that's a decade old.Only, now that I'm here, he's avoiding me every chance he gets. If he was anyone else, I'd cut my losses.But this is Shane Miller--the guy who makes everything better just by existing in my universe. The guy I'd do anything for. The guy who's more to me than a brother, a friend, or even a teammate.I'm not going to let him get away.

Maddox
The reason I rarely go home is three simple words: I'm a liar.

When the pressure to marry my childhood sweetheart became too much, I told her I was gay and then fled to New York like my ass was on fire.

Now, five years later and after a drunken encounter, I find myself invited to her wedding. And I have to bring my boyfriend--the boyfriend who doesn't exist because I'm straight.

At least, I think I am. Meeting the guy I'm bribing to be my boyfriend for the weekend makes me question everything about myself.


Damon

When my sister asks me to pretend to be some straight guy's boyfriend, my automatic response is to say no. It's because of guys like him people don't believe me when I tell them I'm gay.

But Maddox has something I need.

After an injury that cost me my baseball career, I'm trying to leave my playing days behind and focus on being the best sports agent I can be. Forty-eight hours with my sister's best friend in exchange for a meeting with a possible client. I can do this.

I just wish he wasn't so hot. Or that he didn't kiss like he means it.

Wait ... why is the straight guy kissing me?

16-årige Austin Szerba fortæller om hvordan han og hans bedste ven, Robby, kommer på sporet af et mislykket videnskabeligt eksperiment og ved et uheld forårsager verdens undergang.
 
Det virker virkelig som om, at det er en 15 årig drengs hjerne der har fundet på hele historien, for den er virkelig gennemsyret af, hvad der nok foregår i hjernen på en 15 årig dreng. Hvad han ville tænke på og finde interessant.
Det er en bog om jordens undergang, om sex, om venskab, seksualitet og sex igen
