A Forbidden Coming Out Gay Escort MM Novel by USA Today Bestselling author Lynn Burke

 

Cupid did me no favors when he pierced me with Preston’s arrow straight through the heart. He’s everything I’ve ever wanted.

 

He’s also my stepbrother.

 

I’ve loved him since high school when I became his protector, a safe place of refuge from his mother’s stern, backward ideals. Our attachment gave him comfort, but my heart craved more, putting us both in danger.

 

Distance seemed the answer to escape my forbidden desires, but eleven years later, I’m still obsessed.

 

When an accident leaves us stranded with no means of escape, I learn I’m not the only one with fantasies. The draw between us is potent. Too many emotions erupt, laying us both bare and me desperate to make his dreams come true.

 

But our four hours of heaven jolt to an end, leaving us on unsteady ground.

 

Can I convince Preston that we are two perfectly fitted parts of a whole? Or will he allow the tyrannical matriarch of his old money family to dictate who he ought to love?

Ratings and reviews

Wow! Lynn Burke turned up the emotional heat in Four Hours. Drake and Preston first meet as teenagers, when they become 'stepbrothers'. Immediately Drake feels protective, and Preston laps up the affection in his emotionally starved life. Gah! There were so many moments where I wanted to hug Preston, take a deep breath, and tell him it was all going to be okay. Drake was the epitome of a swoony leading male with a huge heart, and I loved how accepting he was of Preston Such a great love story.

Four Hours will tug on your heartstrings. Preston and Drake's story is full of raw emotion, declarations of unconditional love, and trust earned. Words that wound and heal the broken heart, break you down and build you up. Convince you that true love is waiting for you if you reach out and grab it, society be damned. Delicious, daring, defiant, but is it forbidden? Not to me. It's hot and steamy, melts your eReader, and sets the pages on fire. Reading that will leave you begging for more. As I was reading, I grabbed a tissue, turned to hubby, and told him not to mind me. It was emotional, breaking my heart, but healing it right away. Ms. Burke handled so many delicate issues but resolved them beautifully. She showed the joy in loving someone of the same sex, acceptance in transitioning for Nancy, and exactly how some members of society won't change their perceptions of LGBTQ+ until it's too late. Bravo, Ms. Burke!

This book was an emotional spicy rollercoaster. I absolutely loved everything about it. Preston is an adorable ginger that's shy but gets confidence when around Drake is there to show him the ropes. They are so perfect for each other. Stepbrothers (which is like my fav trope) met as teens and knew they were made for each other but it takes time since they know they shouldn't be together and Preston's mom would tear them apart. They stick together through the bad and ugly and love each other. Definitely recommend.
