Loved it 😍 

Circumstances have successful drag queen Anthony (aka Barbie Summers) back living with his mother in his childhood bedroom. A bedroom that is bursting at the seams with not only the things he could bring from his flat but the many boxes of drag paraphernalia as well. 

Colin is busy with his studies for a PHD, is an introvert and lacks in self confidence. He has a love of pole dancing and a desire to explore the drag scene but doesn’t really know where to start. 

When Anthony takes him under his wing a whole new world is opened and this world and Anthony is where Colin (aka Sugar Pill) feels he truly belongs. 

Their attraction to each other and the chemistry between them is undeniable and it’s not long before they trust their feelings for each other and embark on a steamy relationship. Whilst both of these wonderful men navigate their way to their HEA their individual crushed self belief and self confidence is slowly improved until they become the men they were always meant to be.  

This is a very enjoyable and engaging read with minimal relationship angst but there is some angst from external forces. The main character development and growth is perfectly paced, plenty of fun witty banter and of course the characters from previous books in the series are there as well to keep things interesting.
