Tony
Looking for love in all the wrong places. Toe-curling, guilt-laden sex with ‘married men seeking discreet fun’. Why doesn’t anyone want a social worker by day, drag queen by night and a Human League fan all day long?
He deletes the hook-up apps, swears off men. Mentoring Nick, they move beyond friendship. Forced to share a hotel room, Nick’s mixed signals point towards one conclusion. (Hint: it’s well beyond professional.)
Nick
Recently single, he’s trying to work out who he is without his ex-boyfriend, who told Nick he’s too this, not enough that, being gay in the wrong way.
His career gives him purpose, direction. Yet he wants more from Tony than an employee should from his boss. After their passionate night, he needs more than friendship—f**k buddies…or forever boyfriends. (Hint: it’s well beyond physical.) Except Tony’s sworn off men…
Don’t You Want Me is a friends-to-lovers, forced-proximity, boss/employee gay romance featuring more emotional baggage than allowed by most airlines, lots of kissing and more, plus a guaranteed happy ever after.

My Rating - 4 Stars!
Don't You Want Me is a nice friends to lovers romance by Liam Livings.
It's fabulous seeing Tony get his love story with Nick. This is a boss/employee type tale with the two hooking up.
Tony and Nick are two friends, with plenty of fear and about getting involved romantically.
Tony's drag queen persona has always made it tough for him to find love. But when he and Tony travel together for a business trip, things start to change.
They are cute and sweet, as they're so good together, but struggle with actually dating. Of course, despite not wanting to date, they start a friends with benefits thing.
Their story is one with awkward moments, and big changes in a friendship. The big moment of angst is well done, making sense to the reader and in a manner fitting of their relationship.
Liam Livings' Don't You Want Me is a sweet romance between two men who struggle to let down their walls and fully commit to being together.
