Bro Jobs by Lisa Henry and Sarah Honey

This novella is something of a prequel to The Amazing Alpha Tau Boyfriend Project and takes place in the same Alpha Tau frat universe, letting us know how Trey and Scout became boyfriends.

Scout needs his space and time alone from all social activities, but his roommate is the exact opposite. Trey also takes his duties as house manager a little too seriously. But both of them are single and currently on a romantic try spell, so somehow they end up helping each other out. Which doesn’t really mean anything, right? Scout isn’t even into guys, or is he…?

This short novella was an easy and fun read, but maybe a little too simplistic. There really wasn’t any drama, not about the helping out part nor the part where Scout finds out he’s not as straight as he thought he was. But still, enjoyable and nice! I especially appreciated how supportive and openminded the frat bros were. No toxic masculinity at all, which was a pleasant fresh new take, and I’m definitely looking forward to reading more stories about this wholesome group of frat bros!

Thank you to the authors for the free copy, which I have voluntarily reviewed.

Now and Then by Lisa Henry

This was such an adorable second-chance M/M novella about two former best friends trying to forgive each other for what happened between them ten years ago when they were teenagers for a second chance at getting it all right. It’s a story about acceptance, bravery, and forgiveness – of both yourself and the person who has hurt you.

Owen Bannister and Zach Baldwin had been best friends forever, and as teenagers they were about to be even more than that. But in a reckless moment after winning a music competition on TV, Zach ruins everything between them. Ten years later, Zach is a national superstar, and Owen is a local pub owner, but neither of them has ever forgotten, nor stopped missing, the other. When Zach suddenly walks into Owen’s bar, flames start to spark again, but can they find a way to deal with the mistake Zach made and find a way back to each other, and get the happily ever after they should have had all those years ago?

Even though this story is only about 70 pages, it’s amazing how Lisa Henry managed to make you root for the characters so completely and describe the background story. I loved the glimpses we got from Owen’s and Zach’s childhood friendship and how they were starting to get stronger feelings for each other, but I would have loved to get so much more! I truly hope that Lisa Henry will extend this novella to a full-length novel, both the story and the characters really deserve that!
