Blurb
Robby Dalton is the perfect all-American boy. He played the sports his father chose for him in high school, attended the college his father selected, and has worked hard to conform to his father's macho views. But emotionally he doesn’t fit anywhere, and he can’t connect with a woman beyond a few uninspired dates. Robby’s not in the closet, because he’s never guessed he’s gay. Now he owns a small commercial construction company, and one night after work he runs into Savannah Meyers. He finds her fascinating and agrees to a date, thinking maybe this woman would be different.
But Savannah has her own agenda. She is looking for a love match for her roommate, Tristan Chartrand, whom she rescued from the streets years ago. He’s like a brother, and her only family, so she wants him safe and happy. Her plan seems to begin well, because when Robby meets Tristan, he’s surprised to find it’s Tristan he wants, not Savannah. But some people in Robby’s life don’t approve of Tristan’s lowly station in life, and some don’t approve of Robby being gay. Some people are full of hate and violence, and Robby and Tristan will need courage and strength if a loving future is to be part of the deal.

My Rating - 5 Stars!
A Package Deal, by Mia Kerick, is a complicated and messy romance.
I found the beginning to be a little difficult, as I was having a tough time caring about Savannah. As I wasn't interested in reading a M/F romance, I was weary. But, later, it gets so good and was definitely worth the read.
I love the slow burn in which Robbie truly falls for Tristan. Once they really connect, it's with such intensity, and an all-consuming need. In other words, it's passionate and hot, jumping off the page. It a total turn on.
Don't let the potential sex with a girl turn you off. This story is wonderful. It's about love and growth. It's about trust and strength. It's about friendship and family. It's about shame and embarrassment. It's about rising above and surviving. It's about dreams and choices.
The author gifts us with some extremely broken and scarred characters. Tristan and Savannah's past is heart wrenching and the more we learn, the more I like Savannah. Both my heart and body ached for Tristan. As for the relationship between Tristan and Savannah, it's truly a gift. Neither would have survived without the other. Two former street kids, Savannah saved Tristan and helped him become a confident, successful man.
As for Robbie, his best friend is a jackass.
A Package Deal is an amazing read. The storyline is stellar and unique, as Mia Kerick entwines romance with so much more. It's crazy and intricate, making for a fantastic book.

Wow! This is a blast from the past! I'm glad you were patient with the Savannah aspect of the story. Many readers assumed it was M/F and stopped reading. It truly is a slow burn love story. I really appreciate the way you described it!
