Kissing Boys After Dark

In January of 1999, secrets from the past collide with promises of a new beginning.

Shane
Five years ago, I had a secret. A secret my best friend, Everett Sawyer, discovered the night of our high school graduation. Like a coward, I ran away in shame, and completely cut out Everett from my life.
And that also meant cutting out Everett’s younger brother, Ethan.
But when my old friend suddenly and tragically passes away, I can’t help but seize the opportunity to make amends by accompanying Ethan on a road trip to scatter Everett's ashes. But Ethan hates me. He won’t talk to me about anything that happened five years ago.
And the worst part is? Ethan was my secret.
And now he wants nothing to do with me.

Ethan
I’m only tolerating Shane Carraway’s presence on this road trip for the sake of my brother.
Who does Shane think he is? Showing up after five years to come along with me to scatter my big brother’s ashes expecting everything to be all peachy.
Screw him.
But as much as I try to pretend like I don’t care and have everything together, the truth is that I don’t. Shane and I had a secret five years ago.
A secret I never forgot about, no matter how much I tried.
And I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to pretend.

Kissing Boys After Dark is an MM Romance about second chances, grief, and the mysteries of this thing we call life. Expect plenty of 1990s nostalgia, emotional conversations, and plenty of heat in a snowstorm.

Absolutely loved this!

Such a lovely story of redemption and second chances. Delightfully narrated by new (to me) Myles Catania. I'll certainly look out for more books by this author and narrator. Highly recommend!
