Something About You

Riley Hart is one of my 'go-to' for same-sex genre. (See my undying love of her novel, Crossroads). Once again, Riley delivers a story that at 52%, I asked it to never end. Saint and Lucky captured my heart and I was invested in their HEA from the start.

If you love a enemies to lovers, this is definitely one to read. Although they both dance around each other, unsure why they should be 'disliking' each other, their relationship flows and develops organically. Ms. Hart taps into self discovery and finding one's true self rather than what is thought they should be.

I wouldn't say it ends on cliffhanger. But as a reader, I hope we get more!

Grayson “Saint” St. Claire was single, successful and certainly not looking for any kind of relationship or commitment. He had lost his parents in a plane crash and had always thought that he was completely alone. is own father had always led him to believe this. He was beyond shocked when an email arrived telling him he had a grandmother in some small town in Virginia, way across the country from his home in California. Saint dismissed the summons and tried to put it out of his mind, then a month later he found himself sitting inside his Corvette at a gas station in that same small town, wondering just what had he been thinking coming here for a grandmother that he knew nothing about. Lucky Tyler Holloway lived in that small town show more leading a life in the shadow of his family. He lived in his parents’ basement and worked as a handy man, sometimes doing construction work on the side, Tyler accepted the common belief that he was a "golden boy" and a good soul as he was always there to help others. He dated occasionally and even though everyone in town was sure he would one day marry his best friend, but Tyler knew that wasn't true. A vacation trip to Mexico and a hot kiss with an even hotter man had confirmed what Tyler had known all along...he was different, definitely gay and probably bisexual. He had run away after that kiss, overwhelmed by its implications and unwilling to deal with the truth of it. When Tyler sees Saint across the street from the diner, he knows two things immediately: one, the man is hot, and two he, for some reason, is determined to hate him. Time and proximity have a way of wearing down even the most stubborn among us, and Saint and Tyler are about to feel it's over-powering effect. The grandmothers, Helen and Alice, were incredibly sweet and funny and Tyler's family was pleasant and accepting, only wanting the best for their son and Saint was "the best" in their book. The story is a journey of self-discovery for both men...one to understand his sexuality, the other to find that his sense of home. Anyone looking to escape into a tender, sweet, romance will find it in Something About You. show less

It felt like I was dropped in a Nicholas Sparks movie. ;) (Minus the honey-dripping sweetness.)

Saint got an email from a guy named Tyler, stating that his grandmother is alive. After a month of hesitation Saint decided on a whim, he’s going to the little town where his father grew up. His parents died in a plane crash and he didn’t have any family left, or so he thought.

Upon arrival he meets the guy who sent him the email. Lucky and Saint had an instant dislike towards each other.

Lucky is a country boy through and through, he loves working with his hands, helping everyone in town; he’s the youngest of five and he was babied growing up, but everyone loves him, no wonder why Saint calls him „Golden Boy”.

Saint is an entitled, show more rich, cocky city boy. He was living THE life, had a nice job he loved, partying occasionally, having lots of sex; but deep down he knew something was missing. I felt he was a bit overconfident with the ’I suck cock like no other’ attitude. He did not win me over easily.

Despite their differences they found common ground. Lucky had secrets, and somehow he found the right person in Saint, that he can open up to. And Saint finally realized that he was lonely, and this country boy could be the answer he didn’t know he was looking for.


I have to congratulate the photographer and the cover designer. This cover is beautiful and perfectly reflects on the story and the characters. show less

Lucky in love

This is a great story about two men who didn’t realize how much they were missing until they met each other.

Loved this introduction to Saint and Lucky. See comments on book #2 in the series.
