Hello, pornies! I hope you are all fine. I just finihed reading a book and Oh my I so need you to read it! If you want a sweet, funny, dramatic romance, I got you covered. Today's all about Secret Admirer, by DJ Jamison. Thanks to Gay Book Promotions for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review!
Now, we all know about that hot BFF cliché, right? Well, it was well used this time! It was impossible not to feel identified with Benji, his feelings, his insecurities (although we are just said he's naturally an introvert, but I feel there was more? Need a sequel!) and his thoughts.
I wanted to be over there, telling him all the things I wish somebody told me when I was in love with a straight guy, and scream at him for being so clueless. Literally, it was obvious these two were thristy AF for each other, and the author loved to play with me because of it.
DJ Jamison has a funny, simple style that can turn you on in a second and make you laugh in the next one. I went from aroused to laughing in a single scene in a blink's time! She likes to play with your expectations, create such a tension and then turn the tables and take a risk in the story you fear she won't be up to it. Hint: She always is.
I was so immersed in the story I had to read the bonus scene and know whatever happened after, and I'm happy to be satisfied. Secret Admirer is a book with human characters, a good dose of drama, a better dose of sex (I could fancy finding my own Ace, mind you; besides, we need more bisexual characters!) and one hell of a funny story you don't get tired of! I wish the scene for Ace (you will know it when you read it; I'm not spoiling anything) had been longer, maybe a bit more on his background and past, but it's the only little thing I am complaining about. This book was amazing and you should read it too!
About DJ Jamison:
DJ Jamison writes sweet but spicy M/M romance that most readers consider relatively low-angst. She grew up in a working-class family, and many of those influences can be found in her books: family drama, workplace conflict, and of course, love! DJ lives in Kansas with her husband, two sons, a timid snake, and a sadistic cat named Birdie.

You deserve all the kisses you want... Benji, I want you to know how amazing you are. You won't believe me, because I'm just your brother's best friend, but it’s true. Each day my feelings for you grow, confusing but undeniable. With a few anonymous love tokens, I finally have an outlet for all the things I can't say. And with each gift and note, you smile. For me. Not your brother's straight friend, but something new. Something more. Something that will change everything if we can both find the courage to believe. All I have to do is confess who I really am: Your Secret Admirer
