The Rivals of Casper Road, by Roan Parrish

4.0

Roan Parrish is fast becoming a MM romance favorite. Weaving brilliant small town romances, with characters that feel like they could live right next door.

In the most recent Garnet Run story we have Zachary the reigning six time champion of the neighborhood Halloween decorating contest. Zachary finds comfort in his routines, working from home as an architect and designing building that don’t inspire him but will get him a coveted promotion.

Bram is new to town, licking his wounds from a devastating betrayal and breakup. He is not a fan of anything scary but when the cute neighbor starts a prank war he knows he has to play along.

Bram’s fun, loud and overly involved family was a fun addition to the story but also made me sympathize with Zachary who is quieter, and is a little estranged from his family after his sister went missing years ago.

I love that Bram brought Zachary out of his shell and more a part of the neighborhood. They perfectly complimented each other!

With Halloween being my favorite holiday I loved the backdrop of the decorating contest to the story.

I received an arc for review, all opinions are my own and given freely.
