Bounce by Becca Seymour
Outback Boys, Book 2
Standoffish Aiden is content keeping people at a distance and ensuring his boundaries are impenetrable. There’s safety in not opening up, but there’s also a loneliness he doesn’t realise exists until he meets Riley, a new member of the LGBTQI+ adventure group Outback Boys.
Fascinated by the new guy, Aiden is quick to discover his flirtation skills are rusty and his sweet-talking is cringeworthy. But sweet and clumsy Riley doesn’t seem to mind so much.
Even though Riley doesn’t quite know how to handle Aiden’s intensity, he’s willing to step out of his comfort zone and see how their tentative friendship unravels.
Between a surf lesson that resembles a kangaroo on acid and paddle boarding that is trickier than walking a tightrope, Aiden and Riley discover love may be a possibility after all.
Happiness relies on honesty and openness, though. And with both men holding on tightly to past struggles, their future together is at risk. Can the two Aussies bounce back and heal themselves and each other, or are some wounds too raw to recover from?
Outback Boys is a sweet and sexy M/M romance series complete with bruised butts, rope burn, and overworked muscles… all in the pursuit of adventure, of course!
Trigger Warning: Contains themes (discussions) of mental health and suicide.

I risked a glance in his direction just as he pulled up his own shorts. My tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth. He was going commando. With that visual bobbing around in my head, I jerked my gaze away quickly.
“Then you have a fire or something, right?” Riley asked. In my peripheral vision, I saw him angle towards me, so I safely did the same. A light pink covered his cheeks, but his eye contact was strong.
“Yeah,” I answered with a smile. “The recent lifting of the fire ban has been a relief.” The dry winter had been difficult and dangerous for far too many Aussies impacted by a harrowing number of bushfires. The last six weeks of steady rain rolling in had made life so much easier. “I have my guitar,” I continued. “I can’t sing for shit, but I can play. We usually have marshmallows and a few drinks.”
“I don’t drink. Alcohol, that is.”
My heart stuttered at that. “Me neither.” My lips lifted slightly as I wondered what other discoveries there were to make about this man. Yeah, a lot, obviously. A few hours of conversation weren’t enough to honestly know someone, but the desire to get to know him better remained. If anything, it burned even brighter.
“Oh.” The pink turned to red on his skin as he smiled. He looked away and picked up his T-shirt. “That’s good.”
As he tugged his tee over his head, I took my fill as quickly as possible. A dark smattering of hair covered his chest. A smooth, softer stomach led to his shorts that hung low on his hips. The expanse of skin caught my attention for too long, making me consider what it would taste like, feel like under my touch. Wide-eyed at the direction of my thoughts, I grabbed my own T-shirt and tugged it on, using the process to get myself together.
Check out where it all began…
Outback Boys, Book 1
Trey has a problem he’s worked hard to manage. It involves not turning into a bumbling mess while around a gorgeous brown-haired man who’s way out of his league. Eight months’ practice from being part of the same LGBTQI+ adventure group, Outback Boys, means he’s perfected the skill.
That’s until an epic stumble makes his head spin and he throws all caution to the wind. But there’s no turning back now, especially since a snow-filled trip means they’re forced to spend even more time together.
Mark has no concerns about the changes unfolding between him and Trey, the giant of a man who’s adorably reserved. He’s been crushing on him for so long that he’s eager to explore more. But when their latest adventure is over and they fall back into the real world, balancing work, life, and a relationship proves more challenging than he envisioned.
Something has got to give, and neither man knows the best way ahead without upsetting the status quo. Can the two Aussies work their way through their new connection, or will they stumble at the first hurdle in their way?
Outback Boys is a sweet and sexy low-angst M/M romance series complete with bruised butts, rope burn, and overworked muscles… all in the pursuit of adventure, of course!
