You can read each one of these books as standalones, but to get the whole story start with book one, The Backup Boyfriend. All three of these books intertwine, each touching on this plot point the death of Rick touches all the men’s lives, either directly or indirectly, and so much of who they are today and even the career choices they have made relate back to that event. Noah’s storyline begins in book one where a pivotal plot point is introduced in the form of Noah’s former boyfriend Rick, a homeless teen who died of HIV.

He is a complicated guy, on purpose, and breaking down his pretenses was going to take some doing. His character has been at times witty, often caustic and brutally honest, but always loyal to the point of self-sacrifice. Noah presented himself as such a caricature that I knew it was going to take a lot to strip him down to the essence that was truly Noah. We have seen glimpses of Noah in all of the previous books of this series, most especially in book one where he played a big part in Dylan and Alec’s story. River Jaymes came through in a big way, and I finished this book totally satisfied with Noah’s tale. Noah was such a special guy, and I wanted-no, needed-the story to be as deep and multilayered as the man himself. Pins and Needles does not even come close to the anticipation I have felt. Review: I have been anxiously awaiting this book. Unfortunately, the accompanying makeover by the irreverent and gorgeous Noah Tanner might be his undoing… After a difficult year for his sister, he’ll do anything to see her smile again, even agree to participate in the fundraiser she’s been hired to organize. He’s sacrificed a lot to help raise his siblings-including keeping his orientation a secret. Kyland Davis, is proving far too distracting.įormer Texan and no-nonsense surgeon Ky Davis prefers his beat-up Stetson boots to Louboutins. He’s closing in on his goal, but the deliciously scruffy, oh-so-sexy Bachelor Bid contestant, Dr. Ensuring the success of his upscale charity event is currently job one. He’s spent years raising money for San Francisco’s homeless in honor of the boyfriend who died.

One-offs come and go like dates on a calendar, but his friends and his calling never do. Hint, hint… Logan.īlurb: Noah Tanner loves life and the gay men who live it. It was an excellent addition to the series and I hope River Jaymes decides to write another book for the Boyfriend Chronicles.
