The B-Side by B. Harmony

Perspective Series, Book 1

Chance

When I read the roommate wanted ad, I thought my sister was encouraging me to live with an insane person. As it turns out, he isn’t insane, he’s sexy and one hundred percent my type. Living with him will be the ultimate test of my self control.

When the combination of our love of music and my overwhelming need to take care of him meets jealousy, sparks fly. His heart may be damaged, but nothing is beyond repair.

Now all I have to do is convince him that I’m in this for the long haul, not just this moment.

Tyler

I may look like the happy-go-lucky gay guy with a big smile and more punny tees than one person should probably own. But it’s just a shield to protect my heart, the one that has been torn apart by the people who were meant to love me most. The last thing I’m willing to do is risk the tattered shreds on my new - straight- roommate. Sure, he’s sexy as sin and has a love of music that rivals my own, but all that is just grounds for a new friendship. Nothing more. Right?

Yet, every moment we spend together tests a little bit more of my self control. When it turns out my roommate is not as straight as I once thought, I have to decide if this is one playlist I should listen to.

Will we have our own love song, or will this just be another broken-hearted ballad?

The B-Side is a low-angst, roommates-to-lovers, MM Romance novel. Featuring punny t-shirts for every occasion, killer playlists, meddling family and friends, and a happily-ever-after.

My Rating - 4 Stars!

The B- Side is a fun roommate romance by B Harmony. The first book in the Perspective series, this one is a delightful, low angst read. 

First of all, it's sweet with some fun humor, starting off with Tyler's adorable, yet brutally honest roommate ad and builds from there. The character voice of Chase drew me in from the start as he expertly tells us what he's feeling.

Chance and Tyler are great together. Upon becoming new roommates, they naturally become friends and things develop easily from there on. 

I enjoy Chance's first bisexual experiences as they include some hot first times. 

Take note, this isn't a story of the fear of coming out. Once Chance embraces his bi side, he is all out and never looks back. So don't expect any angst over his sexuality. 

And then there's Tyler. His backstory isn't a huge factor in this tale, but it is there and it's heavy and full of grief. For Tyler, Chance is the one who helps bring him out of his grief in a wonderfully tender and natural manner.

Their relationship includes some enjoyable roommate dates, pancakes for the nephews, and a whole lot of small moments that build the foundation for their relationship. 

I can't applaud the author enough for including a ton of emotion to the sex scenes. The emotions jump off the pages and guide the scenes, making for some memorable moments. 

There are some wonderful side characters, including Chance's sister and nephews who are adorable. And damn, I love Tyler with them,

Most of the story is angst free, but the author definitely throws in some twists and turns that up the angst a little. It isn't anything unique, but it definitely works for me.

Written in alternating first person pov, the reader gets a look into both men's feelings and emotions throughout. However, it's written in present tense, which is not my favorite, making it disjointed and awkward for me at times. I actually didn't notice at first that it's present tense, but once I did, it explained why I wasn't connecting fully to the writing. 

As for the title, as a child of the 80's, I love it. I honestly don't expect younger readers to understand the title at all though.

Overall, The B-Side is adorable, hot, and sweet. This B Harmony read is a nice roommates romance that is worth a read the next time you're in the mood for first times with plenty of emotions. And the ending! Omg the ending!

Special Release Excerpt:

 

“Chance.”

My hand is on the door handle, so I turn towards his voice. Only Tyler is standing much closer than I expected. He’s in my personal space, with only inches between us, an uncertain but determined look on his face.

I gulp. “Yeah?” That came out softer and raspier than I expected.

Tyler reaches out and grabs my wrist gently, pulling my hand off the door to turn me towards him. Then, he just stares up into my eyes from beneath his lashes, his eyes speaking so loudly it’s as if he’s screaming at me. He’s not saying anything, but my body is responding to his unspoken words the way lyrics intersect and wrap around a melody.

He sways towards me a little more and whispers, “I’m glad you said yes.”

Fuck it. This is either going to go up in a ball of flames and burn down to ashes or be one of the best moments of my life. My hand cups the back of Tyler’s neck and brings him closer to me and our mouths fuse together.

Tyler’s lips are soft and hesitant. Probably from the shock of me initiating the first move. Let’s be honest; we’re both surprised over that. But after a few seconds of gentle coaxing, Tyler lets out an almost imperceptible whimper and goes from a passive to an active participant.

He parts his mouth, and I dive in to caress his tongue with my own. Tyler releases my wrist and wraps his arms around my shoulders, trying to pull me closer. Our bodies are closely connected, and I can feel every inch of him against me.

Our kiss is fierce but gentle, dancing tongues and slight nips at each other's lips. With my other hand on Tyler’s lower back, I push his hips towards mine, aligning our fronts together. I can feel his erection pressing into me through my jeans, and my dick is painfully hard trying to find its own escape.

I pull my head back just slightly to take a breath. Rather than separate from him fully, I press a kiss to the side of his mouth. We’re both breathing hard, and I've never been more turned on in my life. I move my lips down his cheek towards his jawline.
