The author seems to assume that all the acronyms used are well-known. This left my only true niggle, which was the use of acronyms. But it was wonderful to read a story packed with genuinely good people wanting to help others. There are plenty of instances of the mutual appreciation society and self-deprecation.

Worldbuilding and scenes are detailed, which generally I’m not a fan of, but in this story, the concept fits.

Ian also struggled to find lovers who saw beyond the rock star. It was hard work, but he loved it even if his stage alter-ego’s makeup, took a while to remove. The Love Bank Romance series features sweet LGBTQ love stories with a little heat. Sometimes the one you were hoping for is right next door.
Fame and notoriety bring challenges though, will it prove too much for Bodhi to handle?īo Next Door is an endearing story of love, trust, and finding someone who loves all of you. Bo next door, with his crazy dog, makes him think it could be possible. Ian wants more than the casual hookups he’s been enjoying. His attraction to Ian is immediate, but dating his neighbor is a big risk. Thanks to his hyper but lovable dog, Ollie, Bo runs into the hot and mysterious guy next door. But very few people know the man under the fierce makeup and loud clothes.īodhi is excited for a fresh start in a new town where no one knows his past.
