Declan by Jaclyn Osborn
5.0
I adored these two sweet men
I never shy away from the books about a man coming out. This was a beautiful story about Kyler, who idolizes actor Declan, while Declan is dealing with some major skeletons in his closet, which keep him deep inside said closet. Kyler and Declan meet on the set of Declan’s newest movie, a run of the mill romance that Declan gets no substance from. Kyler is an extra and has fantasized about Declan numerous times. So, when Declan seeks him out, he is visibly flustered, creating a disaster that sets in motion a relationship he never dreamed possible.
What starts out as a no strings mutual attraction, it is clear from the very beginning that both boys are becoming way too invested for this to end cleanly at the end of Declan’s ‘on location’ stay in Kyler’s town. It’s not just a matter of Declan manning up and stepping out of the closet, since he has deep rooted issues in his past that prevent him from living his best life. Can their feelings for each other surpass the Hollywood spotlight and Declan’s tragic past?
I loved these boys so much. They were so real. Kyler has amazing friends and I cannot wait to delve into Royal’s story next. But what I really cannot wait for is (hopefully at some point) Brysen’s story. I have a feeling I know what is going to happen, but I will wait patiently to see if I am correct. Brysen is my absolute favorite!!!!!
