[ A VERY Slow-Burn, Coming-of-Age LGBT+ Love Story about the Messiness of Love and Life ]
Jackson Rivera hates Rory Harwood with all his guts. He's has been the scourge of Jackson's summer for years, and he doesn't know why. That is, until he finds Rory's journal and begins reading it. And as he keeps reading, Jackson discovers way more than he bargained for. Hopefully, Rory won't kill him by the time it's over.

~

Jackson Rivera hates summer for three good reasons - three months of social isolation and boredom at his family's summer cottage, three months of dealing with the family who shares the cottage, and three months of the worst person he's ever met: Rory Harwood.

Rory has been the scourge of Jackson's summer for years, and, despite his attempted efforts to call a truce, Jackson's ready to break the guy's nose or kill him. That is, until he finds Rory's journal and begins reading it. And as he keeps reading, Jackson discovers way more than he bargained for, setting forth a series of events that'll change not just Jackson and Rory, but everyone around them, forever.

Let's just hope that Rory won't kill him by the time it's over.

🌈 【𝒶𝓃 𝓂𝓂 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎】 Jeff expected his Thanksgiving trip home to Nevada to be as dull as ever. Dry weather, boring people, the same old faces--he hated visiting his hometown. But this year, something unexpected happens: he runs into Jamie. Now, Jeff has a serious girlfriend, and he and Jamie have been out of each other's lives for four years. Jeff insists he's not gay and that what happened with Jamie was just a phase. It was just...a weird thing. But seeing Jamie again stirs up old feelings and challenges everything Jeff thought he knew about himself. This Thanksgiving, Jeff will have to confront the past he thought he left behind and decide what his future truly holds.

When Jordan Cameron was ten years old, his mother stopped speaking and was never the same again, going from one institution to another and ultimately to a group home. While his father explores the world as a well-renowned geoscientist, Jordan's older brother, Tim, is forced to raise him. Tim, eleven years older than Jordan, never had a normal childhood, living with their schizophrenic mother. Jordan lives in his own world, or so that's what it seems to the average person. No one, not even his brother, has ever given him a chance. That is until Tim's best friend comes along. Jamie Perron has a history of bad relationships, alternating between men and women. This last time he is kicked out by his girlfriend and has nowhere to go so he turns to his best friend, Tim. Jamie only knew Jordan as a child, but never did he think he would develop an unusual relationship with Tim's weird, quiet, and sullen (although cute) nineteen old brother through the course of one exciting and interesting summer. Warning: This story contains gay sexually explicit content and language that may be offensive to some readers. ***PUBLISHED (available March 2, 2021)*** Revised, polished, and edited version with a NEW ENDING can be found on Amazon under the title, A Not So Typical Love. https://www.amazon.com/Not-So-Typical-Love-ebook/dp/B08T8RH87Z/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=tristen+rowen&qid=1614435146&sprefix=tristen+&sr=8-1
