#1 in #GFY Twenty-one-year-old Xander Penn has been around the block more times than he cares to count, always searching for an elusive something he's never admitted to wanting, not even to himself. Until now... Then again, realizing what he craves doesn't mean he accepts it. It's one thing to dabble at the open-door policy club he belongs to while in college, but quite another to declare it to others in the real world. After his harsh rejection pushes away the one person Xander wishes he could pull closer, he spirals down a dark path, using meaningless sex more as a punishment than a pleasure. When an unexpected ally makes him see he's missing out on the best parts of life, Xander finally decides to open himself up to the possibility... But by then, it may be too late. Xander is an erotic romance novella intended for audiences 18+. What reviewers are saying... "Oh girlie, you tore my heart out, shattered it, and politely put it back together again!" "Emotions and angst galore! My heart ached for Liam and Xander." "I really enjoyed this coming-of-age novella...because despite the Open-Door Policy and the fact we have young adults, this is truly a story of finding yourself." "Xander and Liam are hot! Whether it's angry make-outs, the hot sex, or the explosive angst and emotions just bleeding out the story the two are great together." "Very well written and narrated. This is a must read if you are thinking of coming out or have loved ones who are coming out. Written with compassion and understanding." "I could feel every emotion rolling through these two, it's heartwarming and heart rendering and I couldn't wait for Xander's aha moment. Fantastic read." "Xander and Liam's story had me on an emotional roller coaster." "I loved Xander by Anna Ambrose, with its beautiful, tender, and, emotional moments, with characters who were not only dedicated loving individuals, but who were also flawed and forgiving in nature." 🏳️🌈
