READ FULL BEFORE STARTING THE STORY: TW: This book is written lightly, but has also some really serious themes that I want you to know about before reading. It talks about abuse and there are some scenes where a character is having a panic attack. If this is too close for you and you don't feel comfortable reading things like that then It might be best to not start reading /genuine <3 I want you to know before reading that this is a book with a good ending! I'm saying this because I know how devastating it is for some people after reading a story all night. If you've made it this far, thank you for reading! Much hugs to everyone:)Complete
Carrying The Pain...
Nathan has gotten used to pretending he's fine. At nineteen, his life is held together by late nights, too much work, and emotions he refuses to talk about. Most people think he's quiet and distant. The truth is, Nathan is barely keeping himself together. Melinda tries to love him through all of it, even when he keeps pushing her away. Simon, on the other hand, has spent years hiding feelings he's never been brave enough to confess. As old wounds begin to resurface and painful truths slowly come to light, the lives of all three start changing in ways none of them were prepared for. Some people carry pain silently. Some people learn to heal. And some people become the reason you survive at all. A slow-burn emotional LGBTQ+ story about trauma, love, healing, and finding comfort in the people who refuse to leave.Complete

War of Hearts (BoyxBoy) [Book 1: Unspeakable Series]
Theo People say that love brings out the best in you and I guess their partially right. But as for myself, well that's a different story. Love brought out the good, the bad, and the ugly with in me. It's a little ironic, don't you think? That something as beautiful and seemingly pure as love can be twisted and manipulated into something so unbearably grotesque ... dark. Love in whatever form, whether it's pure or dark is all consuming and that in itself is beautiful, right? And it's really just all a game. It has to be. But I've been losing it for so long to the supposed love of my life, my everything, my...brother. I've never really been able to handle losing and it was killing me. He was killing me in this awful...beautiful game of love and I just...lost it. This game was turning into a war. A war I had to win. A war of hearts.
