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.
