When Wicksy falls for drag queen Charlie, they discover that both sexuality and gender can be fluid.

Simon Wicks—Wicksy to his rugby teammates—has only ever been interested in women. But when he sets eyes on Lady Gogo, a drag queen who performs at Rainbow Place, he can't stop thinking about her. He knows there's a guy behind the fishnets and make-up, but he's ready to explore his fantasies, and Lady Gogo is game for making them come true.

Charlie adores performing in drag. It allows him to indulge in his love of cross-dressing while earning some extra cash. Fooling around with a mostly straight guy in secret seems like a fun diversion, and gives him the chance to explore his feminine side. He feels safe wearing the mask of his confident alter ego, because the real Charlie is hidden from view.

When Wicksy sees more of the guy behind the make-up and glitter, his attraction to Charlie persists, and he realises he's bisexual. In turn, Charlie begins to understand and accept his gender fluidity. As their mutual journey of self-discovery brings them closer, the secrecy becomes increasingly hard to deal with. If they're going to have a future together, they both need to find the courage to show people who they really are.

Although this book is part of a linked series, it can be read and enjoyed as a standalone.

This is a sweet, easy read that explores attraction and identity. Wicksy, a guy who's always been into women, finds himself drawn to Charlie, a drag queen with a playful and bold vibe.

Mud & Lace handles the ideas of sexuality and gender in a way that feels light but meaningful. The writing style keeps things flowing, making it a nice pick for readers who want a fun romance with some thoughtful moments. The characters' back-and-forth banter adds to the easygoing energy throughout. Recommended.

Rory

Coming home to find my boyfriend in bed with another guy is not how I expected my birthday to go.

When my two best friends find out, they help me with moving my things out of the apartment and trying to find a new roommate. In the meantime they take me out to get my mind off Zach and get laid. I'm really not sure I'm up for it, but I let them drag me out anyway.

I'm not exactly the cream of the crop when it comes to the dating pool, and all of the messages I've been getting from Zach since I broke it off with him are only solidifying that in my mind.

To my surprise though, not only does a guy notice me, he's the hottest guy I've ever seen.

But when I finally gather my courage and try to spice things up with him, it goes horribly wrong and I run away mortified and in tears. My only saving grace is that I'll probably never see him again.

But then I see a response to my ad looking for a roommate, and when I show up to meet the guy the following day and take a look at the apartment, who should answer the door but Hottie McHotness himself.

Just shoot me now.

Parker

When I spotted the adorable little twink in the bow tie and suspenders at the club I was instantly attracted to him. All that wavy brown hair and the cute as hell glasses. But when he runs away in tears, I'm terrified I've done something to upset him, and I don't know how to make it right.

When he shows up at my doorstep the following day and I realize he's my potential new roommie I can't believe my luck. He seems nervous and shy, but so sweet.

The more time we're together, the more I realize what a number his turd of an ex did on him, and I'm determined to make sure he knows how amazing he really is, and that he deserves someone who will appreciate and care for him.

As the weeks go on I'm hoping more and more that his someone can be me.

The Roommate Situation

This story started with Rory's friends taking him out to help him get over his breakup with an ex. He ends up meeting a hot guy, but the event takes a nosedive that leaves him mortified. As he continues to hunt for a new place to live, guess who advertises for a roommate? As Rory says, "Hottie McHotness himself."

The mix of humor and messiness in dating gave the story a concrete basis. Parker's patience with Rory was so sweet. I loved watching their relationship grow. The book also treated emotional wounds with care, which I appreciate. This is such a sweet and thoughtful romance. The focus on healing and finding connection in unexpected places added so much to the warmth of the story. If you're in the mood for something light yet meaningful, pick this up.
