BLURB:
Romeo Bradley and Julius Shepherd moved to Blissville for the same reason: a fresh start. Romeo was looking for a school district where he could make a real impact in the lives of students and faculty, and Julius was eager to teach one of his passions to the best and brightest at a school with a nationally ranked science program. But the sleepy little town offered them much more than they’d bargained for—quirky people, unlikely friendships, and an all-consuming attraction that turns them inside out.
When unexpected circumstances threaten to cancel the school play, Romeo’s theater background and Julius’s musical expertise make them the perfect pair to save the day. Working together so closely makes it harder for the men to ignore their growing feelings. After all, the heart knows what it wants and doesn’t care about age gaps, race, or professional conflict of interest. Romeo and Julius will learn that they have far more in common than they realize, and their differences will make them stronger if they give love a chance.
Their commitment to each other and the play will be tested when outside forces target them as a couple and exert pressure to cancel the production. Romeo and Julius vow to prove their love can conquer any challenge and will burn strong well beyond the curtain call.
Inside Out is a whimsical, May/December romance featuring a man learning to love again and a man falling in love for the first time. It is the sixth book in the Road to Blissville series and can be read as a standalone book or part of the series. This book contains sexually explicit material and is intended for adults 18 and older
REVIEW:
What a beautiful story. So romantic and intimate. Doesn’t mean life is always perfect or hunky dory. Life doesn’t work that way. But these two had a romance. Even the sex was an intimate affair. It was more about the love. Ok, yeah, it’s about getting off too, but it’s the story of two very loving artistic people trying to find their niche in life and well as love.
Romeo and Julius. Yeah, that tickled me. They decided to move to Blissville to start fresh in a new place. Not knowing each other but when they meet, sparks fly. Both are drawn to each other in ways they never have been before, but where Rome is willing, Julius isn’t quite sure and spends much of his time avoiding Rome. When Rome hears trouble over a play 3 super amazing teens are having, he volunteers to help and soon the teens are asking Jules for help as well. They have no choice but to be near each other now. Rome is happy, Jules a little leery. But Rome soon worms under his skin and he can’t resist his sexy silver Fox. As their relationship grows, trouble seems to want to interfere and they hold tight with all they have to stay strong and love.
I really enjoyed these two guys. They were such sweet compassionate people. Both with completely different backgrounds and pasts, but both are so full of love and vigor. For Rome, it took a while to get that love of life back. Being a widower tends to do that to you. But he picked himself up and moved on. Not necessarily with anybody, but he was learning to enjoy life again. For Jules, he just wanted a place to call home. If love came along at some point, okay. But no rush. He knew his hands would be full with his schedule. I don’t think they could be more perfect for each other. Even with different backgrounds, they were a lot alike with the same kinds of passions. And they were beautiful together.
This was my first reading of this series. There were some other characters from the series in here but it didn’t hinder me from understanding what was going on. Definitely is a standalone, but makes me want to read the rest of the series for sure.
