Sweetly Ever After - Three Gay Romcom Tales of Small Towns Shifters and Clumsy Quests

Owen Thomas Reed

Beschreibung

Love never takes the easy route and maybe that’s the point.

In these three gay romantic comedies, wrong turns, mixed signals, and a dash of magic steer the way toward endings worth holding onto.

One story unfolds in a small-town café, where late-night pie runs and stolen glances turn two regulars into something more than strangers. Another follows a scatterbrained shifter whose secrets keep slipping out at the worst times until the crush he can’t stop tripping over proves stronger than he ever imagined. And in a crooked spin on fairytales, a modern man blunders into a land of talking animals, reluctant heroes, and stubborn curses, only to discover love tucked inside the absurdity.

Each tale is filled with warmth, wit, and romance that lingers like a smile after closing the book. When life goes hilariously sideways, can love still land right where it belongs?

***

If you enjoyed the charm and humor of this book’s stories, you’ll find even more in the Swipe, Stumble, Swoon series each volume brings three new romantic comedies full of mishaps, laughter, and happily-ever-afters.

Swipe, Stumble, Swoon is a playful collection of gay MM romantic comedies where every story blends laugh-out-loud chaos with soft, clean romance. These novellas highlight awkward starts, oddball friendships, and those tiny, surprising moments that turn a regular day into something more.

Each set of three brings new characters and fresh twists from mistaken identities across a crowded coffee shop to first dates that slide sideways in the best kind of way. Sometimes it’s a clumsy swipe on an app, sometimes it’s stumbling into the wrong conversation at exactly the right time.

Lighthearted and warm, these stories remind us that love doesn’t need perfect timing it just needs to show up.

Will you trip into it too?

Inexplicably Me - A Story of...

Chelsea Austin Montgomery-Duban...

As the daughter of two gay fathers in the '90s, Chelsea has always had a different outlook than some people. And yet, her message is one of universal importance—love is the most important force in the world. Through her moving and at times hilarious memoir, Chelsea reflects on how we are all much more similar than we are different. 
 
 
 
Living "two doors down from normal," Chelsea quickly learned that society loves to put people in boxes, but these boxes do not always reflect how we feel about ourselves. Through Inexplicably Me, Chelsea works to bring people together in love and acceptance and to illustrate that, while her story may seem worlds away from others, we all strive for happiness and love. 
 
 
 
From sharing the stage with President Obama when she was only eighteen years old, to her father spending her senior year of college in federal prison camp, to her biological mother dying of cancer when she was only fifty-six, Chelsea explores her painful and joyful experiences with the hope that listeners will find inspiration to face their own challenges and embrace their own joys.

Through the Groves - A Memoir

Anne Hull

This program is read by the author,“Anne Hull has written some of the most important stories of our time, beautifully, unflinchingly.”—Rick Bragg"Hull delivers her book with a gentle twang and the unpretentious tone of someone who has lived the experiences she describes. Through her character work and emotionally intelligent delivery, Hull helps the listener feel her every bump, bruise, and triumph."- AudioFileA richly evocative coming-of-age memoir set in the Florida orange groves of the 1960s by a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalistAnne Hull grew up in rural Central Florida, barefoot half the time and running through the orange groves her father’s family had worked for generations. The ground trembled from the vibrations of bulldozers and jackhammers clearing land for Walt Disney World. “Look now,” her father told her as they rode through the mossy landscape together. “It will all be gone.” But the real threat was at home, where Hull was pulled between her idealistic but self-destructive father and her mother, a glamorous outsider from Brooklyn struggling with her own aspirations. All the while, Hull felt the pressures of girlhood closing in. She dreamed of becoming a traveling salesman who ate in motel coffee shops, accompanied by her baton-twirling babysitter. As her sexual identity took shape, Hull knew the place she loved would never love her back and began plotting her escape.Here, Hull captures it all—the smells and sounds of a disappearing way of life, the secret rituals and rhythms of a doomed family, the casual racism of the rural South in the 1960s, and the suffocating expectations placed on girls and women.Vividly atmospheric and haunting, Through the Groves will speak to anyone who’s ever left home to cut a path of their own.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.
