This is my very first Sara Brookes novel and I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised by it. I was browsing NetGalley when this book stood out to me. I'm glad that I was accepted to read this book.

I will admit, mfm is one of my favorite genres on the more taboo side of romance. Unfortunately, not many authors know how to write the book where it is believable and sexy. Sara Brooks, seemed to find that medium where everything was good and a little more believable.

I loved the fact that this book took place over a long period of time. There was instant connection but not insta love which i really appreciated. The characters were fun to read though I would have liked a little more growth when it came to the main characters. For some reason though I know there was growth, I just feel like there should have been more.

I will admit that this book was a change up because it features two bisexual men and one woman. I'm not one for the male on male scenes so those were interesting to read even though they're not my cup of tea.

All in all, I enjoyed it. I liked the concept. Loved the fact that two of the characters were geeks and I will definitely add Sara Brookes to my "author to follow" list.

*If you didn't already catch it, I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

Book Rating

STRONGER THAN HOPE is the first book in the Chesapeake Days series, and we are introduced not only to the town but the inhabitants, including long-term Linc and new blood Nate. Linc is a bisexual widower, raising his son alone. Nate is revamping his (deceased) uncle's coffee shop and needs help because of the work involved. That isn't how they meet though, oh no. They meet when Nate nearly runs Linc down as he is looking for his rental accommodation.

These two are incredibly sweet together, and Nate shows that he is strong in ways that are not just physical. Linc's grief was incredibly well explained and nuanced, showing there isn't a time limit on mourning someone's loss.

Whilst I loved both of them for varying reasons, I really wanted to slap Linc upside the head for not communicating with Nate, who had already proven he would listen with a calm ear and attitude. Now, I know the upset needed to happen for the story, but still... LOL

A strong start to the series and I honestly can't recommend this highly enough. Can't wait to continue and see who finds love next.
