Splash by J.R. Hart

Blurb

Connor Molina’s summer can’t get any worse. He’s stuck in his college town taking summer classes, and he’s got a dead-end lifeguard job he’s too old for and a baby gay who’s thirsty for all the wrong guys.


Even worse? Tristan, a wild patron, won’t leave his section of the pool, splashing him and pulling stupid stunts to get his attention. When Tristan fakes a drowning to get closer to him, Connor’s furious, but he quickly realizes that Tristan’s reckless nature isn’t always infuriating…it’s also intriguing.


Can he let his guard down and let Tristan in, or will he be bound by his own rules and drown in the self-doubt this summer could free him from? 




Review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Connor is a college student who works as a lifeguard. He'd rather be doing anything else but is stuck in this dead end job. Moreover, a particular unruly patron won't just let him be and is pulling all the stops to get his attention.


Soon Connor realises there is more to Tristan than meets the eye. He can't help be intrigued by the contradiction that is, Tristan McCarthy.

This was such a sweet summer romance!

I was expecting a light, fluffy read, but instead this one delivered so much more.

We got to see real emotions, angst and growth.

I loved how the author left the ending open ended and up to the reader's imagination.

  BLURB  Everyone hopes his road to happily ever after will be carefree and smooth, but too often hair-pin turns and detours seem to get in the way.   Having thought he was on the road to forever before, former Silicon Valley programmer Dan Lassiter is leery about pedaling down it again. His elderly companion Charlie urges him to get to know Rick Reardon whose bakery is across the street from Dan’s bicycle shop.   Under the watchful eye of Charlie, Dan and Rick take tentative steps towards each other, all the while trying to avoid potholes such as exes, homophobes, and family problems.   As summer turns to fall and then winter, they hope that the road will be smooth going from their first date and first kiss to having what Rick’s sister euphemistically calls their “sleep overs”. At each step, though, they are tripped up and wonder why there seem to be so many bumps in their road.   Maybe Dan and Rick should heed some of Charlie’s sage advice or maybe they s...

  BLURB   I knew the instant I saw him he was meant for me.  I feel like the focus of my life took a hundred-and-eighty-degree shift.  I couldn’t stop thinking about him.  He became my obsession…my descent into hell.  Damn. I couldn’t be sure who the monster was…him, me or my enemies.  My heart and mind will defy all logic but he doesn’t know that.  I’ll do anything for Dillon. He defines my destiny and I will fight for his survival. Our fates are sealed.  I shall not wait any longer.  REVIEW   This book is unlike anything I have ever read. I don't want to give much away, so I won't go too much into detail about the story itself. I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this, but let me tell you, I was engaged from the very first page. The twists and turns will keep you guessing and at the edge of your seat. The characters are real, relatable and well fleshed out. I liked that this was in dual POV as we get a perspective ...
