Blurb:
A Balls to
the Wall Romance
Though only
twenty-six, single father Theodore Walters lives with his head in the clouds
and his feet firmly planted in reality. At the center of his life is Andy, his
seven-year-old son, with whom he shares no DNA, though nobody—including his
religious-fanatic in-laws—knows that, and Theodore will do anything to keep
them from finding out. Theodore works hard to get his PhD and the tenure and
salary that might follow to make a better life for Andy—but the head of his
department thinks his dissertation on Jane Austen and romance novels is
frivolous.
Theodore’s
carefully planned life goes off the rails when he walks into a popular Laguna
Beach bar and meets the bartender, “Snake” Erasmo, a pierced and tattooed biker
who sends Theodore’s imagination—and libido—soaring. Snake has even more
secrets than Theodore and couldn’t be a less “appropriate” match, but he might
be the only guy with the skills to show Theodore that happily ever after is for
real.
My review:
m/m
Never judge
a book by its cover. PHD candidate Theodore Walters should know this. His dissertation
is actually a cause near and dear to my heart. Why doesn’t the romance genre
get the respect it deserves? Theodore is
a 26 year old gay single dad who looks like he is much younger than that. He
will do whatever is necessary to keep his son even if it means kowtowing to the
boys homophobic grandparents. But when he meets the tattooed, Harley riding
bartender “Snake” Erasmo his careful world gets rocked off its axis. Can he
have love, respect and most importantly raise his son without interference? With
the help of his Laguna Beach friends he may just have a shot.
This book
went straight to my heart and took up residence. I could identify so much with
his fight to keep his son and still find love. I LOVED his dissertation topic
and could go off on that for days. High Balls is a warm and sweet tale of
learning what is important in life.
