When Things Happen Together by Jordan Clayden-Lewis

4.0

“You fell right into my arms, where you belonged.”

When Things Happen Together is an MM romance between a Brit & an Irishman on individual Australian working holidays. An artist & aspiring writer respectively, Thomas and Bruce have an instant and effortless connection, where they were so comfortable with each other from the beginning.

This book takes you on a journey in more ways than one. As their relationship progresses, the pair travel around SE Queensland to the Northern Territory and beyond. I loved the Aussie setting! But it's through these spontaneous travels that we learn they both have things to overcome individually before they can fully commit to each other. For example, Bruce was still reeling from an abusive previous relationship and the accompanying highs and lows.

At its core, When Things Happen Together is about finding home, seizing the moment, embracing love and finding personal growth in the most unexpected places. I loved the character growth, the ending and how the magic number 1122 serendipitously tied into their story.

Thank you to Jordan for the early copy of the book.
