Behind the Title with #gayromance #holiday #bestseller Night Song #MMromance #teaser


 

Twenty-five year old Oliver Honeycutt has no idea how handsome he is. He’s creative, brilliant at his job, and underused in the designer fashion store where he works. Behind the scenes, Oliver takes special care with orders for customer, rock star, Zane Highwood. When Zane is to be the main attraction in the store’s Christmas party, fashion show, Oliver hopes Zane will notice him.

Multi-millionaire, twenty-five year old, Noah Somersby, made his first million before he was twenty-one and now owns a number of casual-chic menswear stores. He’s a designer, gorgeous, and desperate to find a man who will love him for himself and not see dollar signs as they kiss.

Noah doesn’t often take the train into the city, but one rainy day he does, as he settles into a seat opposite Oliver, the two men exchange interested glances.

In fact, Noah is super attracted to Oliver and Oliver thinks Noah is gorgeous.

As the store holiday season party approaches, can serendipity bring them together?

Read a teaser that features the title:

A blast of dance music accompanied a flood of white light along a short catwalk, previously hidden from Noah’s attention in shadows. Noah moved toward it, wanting to see the promised fashion teaser. The first two models danced along to the music in what Noah considered unremarkable powder-blue jeans ripped at knee and thigh. They were bare-chested and carried their pointed toe, coral leather boots instead of wearing them.

Noah glanced away for a moment when two people wanted to pass him. When he looked again, the music changed to a rock ballad, one he hadn’t heard before, and over the opening bars the DJ announced Zane Highwood’s fantastic new release, “Night Song.” The singer made an entrance along the catwalk. He wore low-low-rise white jeans and a cherry-red leather jacket over his shirtless torso. Zane held a man’s hand, and this guy carried Zane’s fancy-shaped guitar over his shoulder in a parody of deference. He walked a step behind Zane, as if being led, and as the blue beam of light from the swinging spots hit him, Noah gasped. “Oliver,” he whispered.

Noah stared. He’s a model. I should have known. He’s red hot in that outfit. He heaved a sigh. The words of Zane’s new song fit the occasion. He was the guy in the night gazing at the one he loved and wishing they would glance his way. When Oliver did look at him, a wave of sadness hit Noah. There wasn’t a glimmer of recognition in his expression. I wonder if he’s with Zane … if they’re an item. That’s a familiar pairing, the rock star and the model.

The cold from his drink seeped through the napkin. Noah felt the chill all the way to his heart. He watched, mesmerized, as the two men turned and walked to the other end of the runway. The new rock ballad continued as Oliver made another appearance. He looked less at home than before, compounding Noah’s wild guess that he and Zane were lovers and Oliver missed Zane beside him. Acutely disappointed, Noah concentrated on seeing the cobalt-blue cashmere overcoat and not Oliver’s handsome face.

As two other models made an entrance on the walkway, a voice from behind him caught Noah’s attention. Grateful for the diversion, Noah greeted the designer he’d met a couple of months ago at an event organized by the wool trade. He managed to converse normally, but all the time his heart ached with regret over Oliver’s apparent lack of single status.

4 sparkling stars from Long and Short reviews for Night Song, gay romance.

I really enjoyed this slow-paced and romantic holiday romance. I loved the buildup between Oliver and Noah – the fact they didn’t just eye each other off in the train, fall instantly in lust and jump into bed. Oliver was shy and very lonely and Noah might have been successful in his career but he wanted to be liked for himself and not his bank balance. I was pleased that each man was realistic, relatable and the author gave me enough time to get to know them both independently to want them to come together and see how they could form a relationship together.

I felt the conflict in the story was a little cliched but enough of the surrounding sub-plot, who Oliver and Noah both really were and their deep and genuine attraction to each other, managed to carry the story through this roughness. Readers looking for a fresh or unique story-line won’t find that here, but I was really pleased both Oliver and Noah’s characters were interesting and relatable. The sex between the two men was equal parts tender and hot, and I was really impressed that the author didn’t rush to have them jump into bed or fall in insta-lust.

With a good pace, strong characters and a lovely Christmassy setting this story had a lot going for it and overall I really enjoyed it.
