Another Isla Olsen series for y'all with The Goode Life (another series about another set of queer brothers). The first book in the series is "Clean Slate"
["Zack
Twelve years ago, I thought I had everything figured out: I’d go off to college, get my marketing degree, come back to my charming little hometown of Finchley in California’s Gold Country, help my high school sweetheart build his carpentry business, and live happily ever after…Ha! That’s teenage naivety for you.
Instead, on the eve of my college departure, Slater Goode (henceforth known as The Devil) ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped all over it. Figuratively.
But I don’t care about that anymore. At. All. I have a great life in Chicago… I mean, things aren’t exactly rosy right now, what with my boyfriend slash boss cheating on me, and then losing my job over that little vandalism incident… But that’s just a blip. Things will get better. They have to. I’ll be damned if I’ll be returning home to Finchley with my tail between my legs.
But then I get some news: The Devil’s grandfather, whom I love as if he were my own, has passed away in a tragic mishap of the coital nature, and missing his funeral is not an option.
Despite my desperate prayers, when I return home I’m appalled to find The Devil has not been the victim of some disfiguring flesh-eating disease. Nope, if anything he’s even hotter. And he’s sweet, and funny, and everything I remember falling for back in high school. But he’s still The Devil who shattered my heart and there’s no way I’ll give him the chance to do it again.
Exes with benefits, though? Now that could be an idea…"]
And another set of idiots that I fell in love with. And another set of queer brothers. And another small town with a bunch of gossiping little biddies (with the help of Facebook, of course).
While reading this book, I imagined my own small town. Now, we're not a goal mining town, but we were set up and established due to coal mining (which is similar, not exactly gold--or even black gold--but it has the same quick set up, one road in and out, long history, etc). But then I added a warm, sunny, California vibe to it and now I want to travel here too.
The second book "Web Of Lies" comes out on Tuesday, and again, you better bet I'll be there for it.
