Reveal (Men of Hidden Creek - Season 4, #4) by H.J. Welch








Blurb

“I wish this were real with you.”

Geeky Jason Miller has never really been with a man, and his bullying colleagues at NASA know it. But when an innocent white lie gets out of hand, Jason never would have guessed his gorgeous-but-straight childhood friend would leap to his rescue.

Firefighter Channing Forster saves people every day, so when protecting his former next-door neighbor turns into faking a relationship for a work getaway, he doesn’t hesitate. As the weekend goes on, though, Channing starts to think that he doesn’t just see cute Jason Miller as a buddy anymore.

Are Channing’s feelings for Jason real enough that he could be his first? Jason needs to accept his true self before he can love another. But when his colleagues and boss discover his many secrets, will he lose everything forever, including Channing?

Welcome to Hidden Creek, Texas, where the heart knows what it wants, and where true love lives happily ever after. Every Men of Hidden Creek novel can be read on its own, but keep an eye out for familiar faces around town! This book contains not-so-fake boyfriends, a stowaway kitty, and enough fireworks to out-shine the Fourth of July. 


Review 
My Rating - 5 Stars!

It's no surprise that I love Reveal, HJ Welch's contribution to Hidden Creek, season four. A combo of Hidden Creek and HJ Welch had me very excited, and this one was everything I was hoping it would be.

A pretend boyfriend relationship starts, as Channing volunteers to act as Jason's boyfriend to his homophobic co-workers. Friends when they were young, they naturally get along well, and fall back into old comforts.

Poor Jason is an extremely likeable and sympathetic character. He's so down on himself, and Channing is the perfect man to help him find some self confidence. The development from friends to lovers is perfectly done, with a natural feeling and a whole lot of emotion. Channing's sexual awakening is wonderfully done.

The writing is superb, with a strong storyline, strong characters, a great flow, and fantastic secondary characters. Of course, the author perfectly captures the small town feel we've gotten to know throughout this multi-author series. 

The building team is a large part of their development, and these scenes are very entertaining, with both men learning a lot during them. They are also fun of some fun humor.

Reveal is a romantic and entertaining slow burn love story. It's riveting and everything I look for in a good fake relationship book. I highly recommend this HJ Welch romance. You have nothing to lose with this hot firefighter and his nerdy lover.
