In the Middle of Somewhere by Roan Parrish

5.0

This was my first read by Roan Parrish, and omg I am in luhrve. This is my favorite kind of romance, where two people who have been knocked around by life meet, fall in love, and are just...good to each other. Daniel is a professor, a bookworm who muscled his way into intellectual circles from a blue collar upbringing, raised with a houseful of brothers by a single dad. His new job is at a college in a small town in Michigan, and it’s a far cry from the busy city life he’s used to. He’s not sure how long he’ll want to stay until he meets Rex, and I can’t blame him for the change of heart because Rex is THE BEST. He lives in a cabin he built himself. He’s a woodworker who makes custom furniture. He is a self-taught gourmet cook. He is a big tender-hearted softie who just wants to take care of Daniel and I am so here for it. Can’t wait to read more of Parrish’s work!
