Blue

Ok. When looking at this books reviews there was a 1* out there that denigrated the storyline. BUT. Everything that that person knocked I love in a book. So it became a must buy for me..... AND I loved it. It's a May /December romance, Its gentle, transparent and although it's best to suspend reality a little, A beautifully told tale

4.5 stars. I loved this book! Our hero Blue had some horrible things happen to him in previous stories, I love that he finally gets his HEA.

I loved the character Blue in Hound Dog and Bean and was so super happy to see that he got his own story. He needed his own story.
I occasionally connect with a secondary character, but rarely do I want to see more of one as much as I did with Blue.
This is a stand alone novel, but I encourage you to read the Hound Dog and Bean first in order to get the most from this book.
So…. I knew that Blue was going to have a heartbreaking story, and he does, but the amazing thing to me was just how happy he is. Always looking for the bright side of every situation. I love, love, love that about him! Even living with a rag-tag group of friends in a run down house that they’re squatting in, Blue finds things to be happy about. Mainly it’s his new friend Chewie, a labradoodle. They have just recently adopted each other, keeping each other warm and sharing chicken nuggets. I love that this character, even for having been on his own since he was young, still has a sense of responsibility. So when Chewie gets hurt, Blue is willing to do whatever he can to help him.
This is where we start to see some crossover characters, and they’re just as delightful as they were in Hound Dog and Bean. It’s also where Blue meets John. John is also a wonderful character, he’s one of the great guys that are steadfast and loyal. Unfortunately for him, that meant being rather blind to his, and his soon to be ex’s needs. I really felt for him. Once he meets Blue (again, since he’s already had a chance encounter with him that leaves a lasting memory), things finally start to happen for him in a way that is enlightening. I liked that even though this character is a bit confused, he still is willing to take a chance to learn and embrace the person he’s always meant to be. Even though he really struggles with their age difference. It doesn’t matter at all to Blue and it makes a bit of a hurdle for them to overcome. These men are wicked hot in-between the sheets, and their chemistry just sizzles.
This is a sweet May/December romance and it’s just perfect for when you want a gentle, happy book. B.G. Thomas just writes the loveliest stories.

First off I want to say this cover is spot on. I can see this young man as Blue. I love a cover that gives me an image of a character.

Blue is a beautiful story of two lonely men finding each other. There are sad parts, bittersweet, sweet and happy too. B.G. Thomas has a way with characters, and I think Blue is one of his best yet.
I love May/December tropes, and Blue is half John's age. Great job there! I also like the prince and pauper type stories, and this one fits there as well. I adore heroes tat are not the norm, and John is a plain, man average in looks but lots of heart.
If you like stories of finding oneself, May/December, coming out, and a lovely romance you will love this book!
