His Boy by Dean Cole

4.0

This was a fizzy and fun romp! I read this expecting a rom-com but found it was more the story of a young man finding himself; a young man who runs away instead of confronting heartache, only to be finally forced to deal with those who've hurt him in the past. It's over the top with stereotypes in places, which you can either embrace or not, but I think most readers would find Charlie Stone pretty endearing. Is he egocentric? Yes! But he's egocentric as a defense mechanism; a costume he wraps around himself. I did find this a bit light on the romance side, and I was waiting for some scenes that never happened, yearning for some more heat and/or palpable connection between the characters.
