4 stars - a very sweet queer romance

While this is a queer romance, it is not a sapphic romance. The main characters are a cis het woman, and a trans man. He

I really enjoyed this story. Luc Dreamer can really write. I was immediately drawn into the story. And found myself eager to pick the book back up every time I needed to take a break. Both characters were realistic and likable. The setting was interesting and I learned a little bit about wineries and wine, making, which is always a bonus.

I would 100% recommend this to queer Romance enthusiasts. Let’s show Luc that he is still an important and appreciated member of our community by giving this excellent book some love.

must read

Its refreshing to read a book about a trans man and woman together. As someone whos struggled with their own sense of self and still am, it just made me really happy. Dreamer writes such amazing stories and this one was honestly the best yet imo. I can’t wait for more from him. ❤️

This book deserves so much love and it has less than 100 ratings on Goodreads! Crush is a sweet and heartfelt story of a trans man looking for a new start and a widow looking for a lifeline and some hope. The two develop feelings (duh, it’s a romance) through some misadventures, injuries, and the discovery of a beautiful love story that happened in the same setting years earlier. There were a few plot points I’d wished had more detail, but overall I really enjoyed this one - I read it in one day! And I don’t do that often!

This is an excellent romance with a good build-up between a cis woman and a trans man who are trying to run a winery&vineyard. I admit I know nothing about wine and vineyards so it all looked good and believable to me.

As I've said I liked the build-up of the romance and paralleling with a past trans romance. I am a fan of slow burn and while this book is not extremely long I would consider that the characters take their time to grow into their feelings and this is what I've wanted since they're both healing from the past
