Gabe Duke, once a teen sensation in spandex, is on a mission. His newest role? Portraying a molecular biologist, a departure from his superhero days. But when it comes to understanding the world of labs and DNA, Gabe’s feeling out of his depth—until he stumbles upon Ray Fadil.
Ray, a lab researcher with a sharp wit, has always steered clear of the limelight. Unaware of Gabe’s fame, he offers insights into the scientific world, while Gabe brings a touch of the unexpected into Ray’s structured life. Amidst picnicking skeletons and dares, the two strike an unlikely friendship.
But the glamour of Hollywood shadows their budding bond. Gabe is hesitant to acknowledge their growing attraction—after all, he’s not about to give an industry outsider a guided tour of his closet. Yet when a twist of fate pushes Gabe to Ray’s doorstep, emotions simmer, and London’s cold winter might just melt under their heat.
This British contemporary MM romance navigates the intersections of fame and privacy, trust and fear, with smart dialogue and a slow-burn connection. As secrets unravel and friendships deepen, two hearts grapple with the choice between the limelight and a quieter, genuine love. Dive into a world where a Hollywood icon and a med-school dropout prove that love, above all, writes the best stories!

Noticing that this author writes grest books but I find the grovels unsatisfying. Though to be fair, the crimes committed in this one were War Crimes Lite™
I loved the moment Ray realized definitively that he was in love with Gabe. I loved everything about Gabe. Minus the obliviousness. But that was a mutual affliction so maybe it cancels out?
I love that the friends to both MCs pointed out to the offender that he'd have to initiate the reconciliation since he's the one who fucked up. There's nothing I dislike more than the offended party STILL having to be the one to make the overtures.
Overall this book read like a romance between real people that I could possibly know, not just characters I'm reading about.
That said, it was a little tame, hence the rating.
