Free Come What May (All Saints, #1) Developed By A.M. Arthur Provided As EPub
klang irgendwie vielversprechender, als es letztendlich war,
Paar schöne Grundideen waren dabei, das Youth Shelter für LGBTQ Teenager, der Konflikt mit dem konservativen Politikervater, die Vergangenheit auf der Straße, Trotzdem blieben die Figuren irgendwie hölzern, die Handlung hat mich nicht wirklich mitgenommen,
Kann man sich mal geben, muss man aber nicht, Ich werde die Reihe nicht weiterverfolgen, da bereits der erste Band mein Interesse kaum erhalten konnte,
Jonas needs Tate, He just doesn't know it yet,
Or at least, he doesn't want to admit it, Because there is no way Jonas Ashcroft is gay, He's a straight, carefree frat boy player, just like any good son of a conservative state senator, If only his struggle to convince everyoneespecially himselfdidn't leave him so miserable, No matter how many girls or bottles he drowns himself in, Jonas can neither escape nor accept who he is,
Enter Tate. He's smart, confident, and instantly sees right through Jonas's surly exterior, Sure, he's done things in life he's not proud of, but he knows who he is and what he wants, And what he wants is Jonas, As their easy friendship intensifies into something more, Tate introduces Jonas to a life he's never known, One filled with acceptance and sex and a love that terrifies and excites them both,
But some inner demons refuse to be shaken off so easily, When Jonas's old life barges in, he faces a shattering choice, one that could destroy everything he and Tate have fought so hard for, Sometimes love just isn't enoughand sometimes it's exactly what you need,
: another winner for A, M. Arthur and bookof a new series that is looking very promising,
Jonas, a richyearold man just expelled from college, is being sent to live with his aunt and uncle and help them in their thrift store while figuring out what to do about his future.
In this small town, far away from his parents and his former living style, he meets Tate, ayearold man, openly gay, parentless, taking care of hisyoung sisters, living in a small apartment above Jonas aunts garage and running a shelter for homeless LGBT youth.
The friendship between Jonas and Tate morphs into much more as Tate cant suppress his huge attraction to Jonas and Jonas pens his eyes and comes out, not without fear but with gusto.
This book is a real sweet and refreshing romance, withhighly lovable MCs, especially Tate who has such a great heart, honesty and openness, I was really sucked in this story where home and family is being found, Not the usual amount of angst I was expecting from this author : there is a lot of tenderness, of caring, of communicationand lets not forget a lot, lot of steam.
Tate and Jonas were made for each other and I loved their journey, For sure, I will read the next book of this series, .stars
Oooooh, I loved this one, And look at that beautiful cover, .
Jonas isyear old spoiled frat boy who has been sent to his aunt and uncle by his father, Jonas was expelled from school for a year after a prank gone wrong, He now lives with his aunt and uncle and
works in their thrift store,
It is there that he meets Tate, Tate isand runs a LGBT teen homeless shelter across the street, Tate is impressed by the good looks of the kid behind the counter, and he likes Jonas snark, So even though Jonas screams straight, Tate tries to make friends, and hopes for something more,
Jonas might think himself a spoiled frat boy, but it is clear from the start that he is in fact very selfconscious and insecure, He is sweet and confused and has no idea what to do with himself,
These guys start a friendship, but that develops into something more rather quick, because even though Jonas tries to tell Tate he isnt gay, it is clear Jonas is indeed attracted to Tate.
But Tate doesnt want to hide what they have and Jonas is not ready to come out to everyone,
When these guys met I loved how snarky they were with each other, Jonas was pretty rude, but that didnt deter Tate in the slightest, And of course Tate saw right through Jonas attitude,
I loved how there was almost no relationship angst in this, These boys talked and if one of them felt insecure about something, they told the other, Jonas being in the closer could have been a big issue between them, but I was happy to see it wasnt, They talk about it like grownups, Oh, how I love that in my books,
There was some lovely hurt/comfort going on in this, Jonas just needs all the love, poor boy,
I really enjoyed this, So if you're looking for a sweet and sexy read, this is it, Lots of sweet loving in this one!
I've been trying to muster up the drive to finish this book for weeks, but it's been sitting partially read on my kindle this whole time.
I just can't push myself to finish, and I simply don't care what happens to the characters, No rating at this time,
Come What May is the first book in the All Saints series by AM Arthur, This book revolves around Tate, the coowner of All Saints homeless shelter for LBGT teens in the Wilmington Delaware area, Tate is the guardian of his two younger siblings and lives above a garage in a small apartment, When Tate meets his landlord's young nephew, first impressions were mixed, Albeit beautiful, Jonas was the epitome of spoiled, rich, and in denial, He says he's straight and only goes for the women but everything screams otherwise, And something about thisyear old troubled frat boy says he may truly need a friend more than a boyfriend, . .
Jonas gets sent to live with his aunt after his Senator father is painfully disappointed in his stupid hazing prank that made headline news, Always the failure, maybe moving into the basement of his aunt's house and actually taking time off of school to work and learn responsibility will be therapeutic, When he meets his aunt's tenant, Tate sets his world on fire, Deeply in denial of being homosexual, something about Tate is irresistible and time spent between these very different men finds his denial waning and his desires mounting, . .
Come What May is one of those easy, medium paced build MM reads, Tate, the ever volunteer and responsible guy with very little in monetary things, finds himself a pivotal support person for the kid who on the surface seems to have it all.
Jonas found just what he needs in this town true family and values, giving instead of receiving, and love where it's least expected,
Another successful MM read by AM Arthur, This is an author I can pick up and always know I'll get a nice balance of story, angst, and steam, Characters are usually very different but compliment what the other needs or lacks perfectly, I'm anxious to see who Tate's business partner Marc ends up with in the next installment,

Come What May is a pretty straight forward romance that will leave you with a smile on your face.
The two young MCs are completely different in so many ways but are drawn together from the moment they meet,
Jonas Ashcroft is the rich frat boy that has been sent away in disgrace to stay with his aunt after a school hazing went wrong and his cold and uncaring parents are left embarrassed.
A quick glance at Jonas would leave you with the impression that he is spoiled and unrepentant, a closer examination however would show you a young man contained by his fathers rules, too scared to rock the boat and also fearful of who he really is.
Tate is a young man with so many responsibilities that he is old beyond his years, His life is on hold whilst he raises his sisters, hes lived through and been dealt many things that are unfair and harsh but he is the kindest soul with the best outlook.
He helps run an LGBT homeless shelter for the neighbourhood kids, He is a loving brother dealing with a lot of guilt and he is a good friend to those that need him, Once he gets past the snark that pours out of Jonas he realises what the other man really needs is a friend,
Tate and Jonas work well together but they have to work hard for it initially, Jonas has been programmed by his upbringing that gay or bisexual is not alright and it takes time, patience and understanding from Tate as he works things out, Jonas really grows as a character throughout the story all he ever needed was someone to listen and have his back, the strength he gains from his newly put together family is immeasurable.
Im looking forward to seeing where the author takes this series Come What May is certainly a solid start, .
