New Release by Felice Stevens

What do an agoraphobic, blue-blood trust fund guy and a poor Albanian porter from the Bronx have in common? Much more than either of them ever imagined. One of my favorite things to write about is opposites attract, and on the outside, you couldn't find two more different people than Jesse Grace-Martin and Dashamir Sadiko. But when their paths cross, each learns that they might not be so different after all, and an unlikely friendship springs up.

I also enjoy writing slow burn romances. I know that MM romance gets slammed quite often for being all about the sex, and if you read my books you know I enjoy writing sex scenes, and I sure enjoy reading well-written ones, but I think if we want to continue to grow and appeal to readers, the challenge is to create story lines that can survive without the need to have a sex scene in every chapter. My most favorite books are the ones which focus on the emotion of the scene: the touch of skin, the brush of lips. The wanting, longing, all the pent up desire the couple has for each other...even the setting adds to the heightened excitement of the moment. Other wise it's like reading a manual.

Jesse and Dash become friends over shared lunches but the longing for each other intensifies each time so that when they finally do kiss, it's a resolution of the sexual tension that had built up over weeks. First kiss scenes are a great way to show all that UST. I love it and they are my favorite things to write. When Dash asks Jesse if he can kiss him for the first time, he surprises himself with how much emotion there is behind their kiss.

I hope you enjoy their story. You can find it on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited:
