Strawberries and Thunderstorms (His Will and Testament Book 1) by L. Luther 


BLURB


Chad

Honestly, I never would have come back to this shithole if Pop hadn’t made it clear I wouldn’t get a dime otherwise. And it really isn’t about the money for me. No, I know it’s all about that little girl he adopted and her need for a proper home. Any one of my brothers would have stood up and taken on a kid, and hell they might even be the smarter choices too, but I know I can be the dad she deserves. 

I am her father, after all. 


Louis

My sister told me not to do it. She told me moving out of the province to chase mon rêve was insane. Certifiably, she insisted. She wasn’t wrong. Who knew that five years later I’d be painfully working alongside my very straight, very hot, best friend, who I might be in love with? Merde. I promised myself I wouldn’t ever be that gay man, the one wanting the unattainable. And apparently, I’m a masochist, because it gets worse. Suddenly he’s telling his lawyer that he and I are together.

So that he can get custody of his kid. 


**Strawberries and Thunderstorms is a friends to lovers, sexual awakening, fake dating m/m romance. This story does contain graphic sexual moments between men.



REVIEW

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


I love his laugh, and his smile. I love how he teases me and the way he pays such close attention to the smallest detail of Shelby’s attitude or tone that he knows her as well as he knows himself.


Chad has no intention of settling down and accepting his small town life. He just wants more. Being accepted at the University of Toronto gives him an opportunity to pursue his  dream and embrace the big city life.

Seven years later, Chad is living the life he always wanted. But there's just one hiccup, he just came to know that he has a daughter that he never knew about. Her mother is dead and his father who then adopted her in secret has passed away as well. Now her fate lies in his hands. But to be granted sole custody of his daughter Shelby, he needs to have a partner.


I guess friends are better than it all going to shit when he realizes I’m in love with him.


Louis Martin is a criminal defence lawyer who specializes in family law. He is also Chad's former university roommate, current business partner and best friend.

It would be the perfect partnership if only he hadn't been in love with him and pining after him for as long as he can remember.

Now his bestfriend needs him to pretend that they are a couple so he can get sole custody of his daughter.


But there is a fine line between pretend and reality. What happens when it's not just pretend anymore? Will Chad, a guy who's always considered himself to be straight give in the newly found attraction to his bestfriend? Most importantly, will they be able to give Shelby a home?


This was a lovely gay for you, second chance romance. I love how Chad's character evolves throughout the storyline. Louis was such a stand up guy always there and supporting his bestfriend. I loved how Shelby came into their lives and brought them closer. She was such a little ray of sunshine and a bundle of joy.


If you like a friend to lovers romance with a bisexual awakening and a sweet found family, this will be perfect for you.

  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 ...

  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...
