Blurb: One thing Liam Turner knows for sure is that he’s not gay—after all, his father makes it very clear he’ll allow no son of his to be gay. And Liam believes it, until a chance meeting with James “Jay” Bell turns Liam’s world upside-down. Jay is vivacious and unabashedly gay—from the tips of his bleached hair to the ends of his polished nails. With a flair for fashion, overreaction, and an inability to cork his verbal diarrhea, Liam believes drama queen Jay must have a screw loose.
An accident as a teenager left Liam with a limp and a fear of driving. He can’t play football anymore either, and that makes him feel like less of a man. But that’s no reason to question his sexuality… unless the accident broke something else inside him. When being with Jay causes Liam’s protective instincts to emerge, Liam starts to believe all he knew in life had been a convenient excuse to stay hidden. From intolerance to confrontations, Liam must learn to overcome his fears—and his father—before he can accept his sexuality and truly love Jay.

Review: Aww, even with a bit of violence and drama this cute story is just sweet enough to give me a toothache, in the best way.
Loving Jay is truly romantic, a friends to lovers scenario, where Liam is fighting confusing feelings for a cute guy he admires on the train each morning, until a missed train gives them both a chance to meet, and build a friendship over their morning commute.
One thing leads to another, Liam is forced to face his attraction to Jay…, and thankfully, his family all saw it coming…out that is, except for Liam’s dad.
Loving Jay is nicely written, cleanly edited and has a steady pace. It’s a slow build to a loving relationship with some scary gay bashing in the midst. Over all a feel-good story that will brighten those cloudy days. I recommend with a good cuppa.
