ARC received for an honest review

If you have read any or my reviews lately, you would know that I am a fan of a m/m romance. And a m/m romance that involves a rock start? Colour me pink, I am gonna read it.

Sawyer and Jake have been best friends for years. When Jake’s parents move overseas, saying goodbye is never going to be easy. But never did Sawyer see that goodbye ending with a kiss, an argument and then estrangement.

10 years down the track and Jake is back, and he wants Sawyer.

It took me a little while to get into the Jake and Sawyer thing. Jake was a bit full on after they have been estranged for so long, ( I could understand the full on behaviour if they had been apart for a year, but the decade made it a bit too much?) but eventually he didn’t seem quite as stalkerish.

Sawyer has kept his true feelings so well hidden for so long. He is so far in the closet that you need a packed lunch and a miner’s lamp to find him! But once the true feelings come to the forefront, boy do things start to heat up between the pair.

I could understand why Sawyer hid his sexuality – hell as the world’s hottest rock star, renowned womaniser, coming out can spell the end. I loved how Jake pushed him (though at times I felt he was a bit over the top) to come to terms within himself as to who he really was.

There are some great secondary characters in Being Sawyer Knight. Love Love LOVE Sawyer’s best friend Elle. She is the rock that he needs, the one who keeps him grounded. She is also the one who he turns to when things turn pear shaped in his life. And she takes none of his crap! There are also his band mates, who are fun and funny.

There is also a bit of a mystery running in the background. And while I had pretty much figured out who was behind things, it was a wonder to see how far people would go to get what they want.

Overall Being Sawyer Knight was an enjoyable read. It was the first of Ms Haken’s work that I hav e read but I will read more.
