The Travel Boys Series by Louisa Keller

“This one goes out to the ridiculously good-looking guy who swooped in at the last minute to save the tour.” Porter: I was perfectly happy with my quiet, predictable life in Seattle—until Levi Montgomery showed up for open mic night at the bar where I worked and completely stole my heart. The front man of a pop-punk trio on the verge of super-stardom, he was bold, outgoing, and enigmatic—everything I was not... more“This one goes out to the ridiculously good-looking guy who swooped in at the last minute to save the tour.” Porter: I was perfectly happy with my quiet, predictable life in Seattle—until Levi Montgomery showed up for open mic night at the bar where I worked and completely stole my heart. The front man of a pop-punk trio on the verge of super-stardom, he was bold, outgoing, and enigmatic—everything I was not. Before I knew it, I was driving his tour bus across the country, getting an up-close look at the rock’n’roll lifestyle. I found all the things I didn’t even know I was looking for: hole-in-the-wall restaurants all over the country, a newfound passion for watching shows from the mosh pit, and a fiery redhead on top of me at the end of the night. That is, until somebody took pictures of us getting hot and heavy at a popular nightclub. The intense media scrutiny is more than I can handle… but if I walk away from the band, I’ll have to walk away from Levi, too. “I love you so much…but I don’t know if I can do this.” Levi: Porter never asked to have his face splashed across tabloids. A life-long battle with anxiety had left him guarded and cautious, and it was my fault that he left the safety of Seattle. Thoughtful, kind, and breathtakingly beautiful, he had me captivated from the moment he mixed me his signature neon blue cocktail. As my fame skyrocketed, Porter put all his energy into supporting me—while still managing to sneak off for some steamy private moments backstage. But just when I think we’re past the worst of it, my manager drops some news that changes the game entirely. Can Porter and I survive having our relationship thrust into the limelight? The Limelight is a contemporary m/m rock star romance featuring a hidden relationship, an epic road trip, and an HEA! less

“It looks like we’ve been mistaken for the happy couple…what an unfortunate mix-up.” Dom: I was beyond excited when my job as a video blogger landed me at a huge conference in Paris. I had barely stepped foot in the hotel when I noticed another blogger being harassed by a fan—and I was more than happy to step in and pretend to be his boyfriend so that he could get out of a sticky situation... more“It looks like we’ve been mistaken for the happy couple…what an unfortunate mix-up.” Dom: I was beyond excited when my job as a video blogger landed me at a huge conference in Paris. I had barely stepped foot in the hotel when I noticed another blogger being harassed by a fan—and I was more than happy to step in and pretend to be his boyfriend so that he could get out of a sticky situation. What I wasn’t expecting? Smith Morgenstern to take me on a whirlwind romantic adventure through Paris. Between scoring the honeymoon suite after being mistaken as a French couple and sharing croissants at a charming little café, it was pretty much the most amazing night of my life…and that was before we even got around to the scorching hot sex. Imagine my surprise the next morning when my dreamboat one-night stand turns out to be the guy I’m supposed to collaborate with on my next big video. Smith is everything I didn’t know I wanted—impulsive, snarky, and bold. But his entire career is built on making videos about the joys of sleeping around. Could someone who thrives on being unattached ever want to settle down with me? “I’m not a romantic guy…so why does your smile make me go weak at the knees?” Smith: I didn’t go to Paris expecting to fall hard for Dom Baker, but something about him shook me to the core. Smart, level-headed, and impossibly kind, Dom awoke emotions in me that I had never known I could feel. When we both headed home to our respective cities, I knew that I couldn’t let him go. Long late-night phone calls led to planning a visit, and before I knew it I was head-over-heels for him. It felt like it took an eon to realize that I wanted more than just a fling with Dom—I wanted a lifetime with him. But just when I was making up my mind that I wanted to give a real relationship a chance, Dom stopped answering my calls. I was so sure that my feelings were reciprocated…but maybe I waited too long. Did I miss out on my chance at a life with Dom? Or is something else terribly wrong? Playing Along is the second book in the Travel Boys series but can absolutely be read as a standalone. It’s a steamy contemporary m/m romance featuring fake relationship, fling-to-lovers, hurt/comfort, and long-distance themes, plus a very happy ending! less

"I didn't realize I was in love with my best friend until he saved my life..." Finley: Leo has been the most important person in my life ever since we were assigned to the same dorm during our freshman year of college. Bold, outgoing, and funny as hell, he is the best guy I've ever known. When we decide to take off for an impromptu backpacking trip in the dead of night, I assume we'll spend the next several weeks wing-manning for each other in every major European city... more"I didn't realize I was in love with my best friend until he saved my life..." Finley: Leo has been the most important person in my life ever since we were assigned to the same dorm during our freshman year of college. Bold, outgoing, and funny as hell, he is the best guy I've ever known. When we decide to take off for an impromptu backpacking trip in the dead of night, I assume we'll spend the next several weeks wing-manning for each other in every major European city.   But then a night in a Barcelona club goes horribly wrong. Leo risks everything to keep me safe, and as he holds me in his arms that night, I realize that I'm madly in love with him. Too bad he wants this trip to be our last hurrah before he leaves Seattle behind for good. Can I gather the courage to tell him how I feel before it's too late?   "It's time for me to move on...so why do I feel so conflicted about leaving my best friend?"  Leo: Over the past few years I've watched my friends falling in love and moving on with their lives. It's inspiring me to start the next chapter of my life...somewhere where nobody thinks of me as a dumb stoner with a million notches in my bedpost. But when I'm offered my dream job in Florence, I start to wonder if I can really leave Finley behind.   Snarky, clever, and absolutely gorgeous, he is everything I want...and more than I deserve. Could he possibly love me back the way I love him? And can I build a life with him while still moving on from my past?   Rail Tour is the fourth installment in The Travel Boys series, but it can absolutely be read as a standalone. It features one spur-of-the-moment backpacking trip, lots of bedsharing in cramped hostels, a ridiculous amount of mutual pining, plenty of heat, and one last HEA for the Travel Boys! less
