Beauty and the Bro (Playing it Straight #1) by Norah Belle

 


Amazon Link   - Available in KU  




Ghosted by his long-term girlfriend, Dylan needs a roommate, and this Riley chick seems like the perfect candidate. If only Riley hadn’t turned out to be a guy. A guy who is so obviously gay.

Done with his ex-boyfriend’s jealousy, Riley is looking for a fresh start. But when his new roommate proves to be less tolerant than Riley had hoped, he finds himself slipping into old patterns. It doesn’t help that the guy is a bit of a man-child either.

Neither is the obvious choice for the other, yet somewhere along the line of navigating their toxic exes, movie nights, and reviving Riley’s old dream of running a makeup channel, sparks begin to fly.

But can this thing they have exist beyond the four walls of Dylan’s condo?

Beauty and the Bro is book one in the Playing It Straight series. Each book follows a couple on their journey to their happily ever after.




My Rating - 5 Stars!

Beauty and the Bro is a fabulously sweet sexual awakening romance. The first book in the Playing it Straight series, this is an impressive debut from Norah Belle. 

Every single thing about this romance works for me. I love the characters. I love their story. And I love all the emotions. 

This is a roommates to lovers tale that has all the sweetness one could ask for. It's wonderful the way they slowly develop into more than friends. Everything happens naturally and in a realistic manner. 

I easily felt the connection between the men and love the way things evolve for them. 

This is a bisexual awakening journey that is fabulously done. The two get off to a funny start, and everything that follows has Dylan reevaluating his sexuality. 

And oh how I love Riley. He's a makeup wearing, unapologetically femme man. He's a breathe of fresh air for sure. Adding to his layers though is the abusive relationship he just escaped. I am mesmerized by the way Dylan helps him heal and feel loved. 

Beauty and the Bro is a stellar debut by Norah Belle. I am thrilled with this sweet tale and can't wait to see what comes next in this series.
