As you know, I’m participating in the Tarot-athon, and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to help my team, since the first week of the month, I read 0. I’m currently working on my 12th book, which is nowhere near the amount I typically read, but I still think it’s decent.
Hey Everyone
As you know, I’ve been trying a new thing for me, where I share a book I love and provide a free ebook link to it, if possible.
This novel was released last June, and it is the highest I rated this month, with four stars. It wasn’t on my TBR, but it fitted the prompt. On the other hand, the cover is gorgeous, the perfect summer read. Funnily, I read the blurb in a way that I thought one of the main characters was a bookgrammer, but it turns out the author is.
We meet Asher and Theo. Asher and his boyfriend signed up for a reality show similar to The Amazing Race, but his boyfriend broke up with him last minute, leaving him heartbroken and without a teammate to compete with. Enter the bet over mozzarella sticks. Theo is a pilot who was ordered by HR to take a vacation since he had flown too many hours as a classic workaholic. Buried fears and emotions were uncovered.
First Lines:
“I’m sorry, Asher…but I can’t go on this trip—”
“I’ The last words I expected to hear coming out of my long-term boyfriend’s mouth at the airline ticket counter. After months of meticulous planning—countless hours of my life I will never get back, painstakingly stressing over cost-analysis documents and packing lists and risk waivers— this was the one travel hiccup I could not have thought to plan for.
“Did you forget to pack something?” I ask, lining up my luggage as I try to visualize the now-packed to-do list I’ve been ticking items off from one by one. “There’s definitely still time to head back home…” But when I turn back toward him, there’s something about the way his overplucked eyebrows are pinched together that tells me a different departure is on the horizon.
Goodreads Blurb:
opular bookstagrammer Chip Pons’s gay rom-com about two men who impulsively pose as a couple to compete in a reality show contest just minutes after meeting at an airport, and their run-in with the very real feelings that start to simmer between them.
Catching flights…& feelings…has never been more complicated.
Asher Bennet thought his relationship was just fine. Until he’s unceremoniously dumped at the Boston airport ahead of the world-wide travel competition reality show, The Epic Trek. Armed with only a ticket and righteous indignation, Asher finds the closest solace he can: a mimosa and mozzarella sticks combo at an airport TGI Fridays. Still, Asher is determined to find a new partner and luckily, right in front of him is a smooth-talking airline pilot ready for takeoff.
Theo Fernandez has been grounded. He’s the only pilot that has never taken a vacation and the edict has been passed prove you’re prioritizing a work-life balance or say goodbye to your wings. As he struggles to bask in his new downtime, without reconnecting with his family, he stumbles upon the perfect opportunity. The handsome guy who “stole” his mozzarella sticks at his favorite terminal eatery has a sudden opening for a partner . . . on a nationally televised reality show.
Theo and Asher buckle up to fake date for the cameras, but as they do the undercurrents of attraction make them wonder if their on-screen chemistry hints at something bigger. Do they have the courage to leave behind their baggage, and wing it together for another chance at love?
