Chosen Name #2
What's Your Name
Leon
Dropping out of college wasn’t on my to do list, but now I’m on my way back to Alliance to figure everything out. It’s not like my family will ask too many questions; they never do. Of course, my car breaks down as I pull into town, and the only mechanic is my sister's ex boyfriend, Jaxon Jennings, aka my old crush. What I’m not expecting is this new grumpy version of Jaxon. This should be the perfect way to kill my stupid, unrequited feelings for him, but all it does is ignite a desire to help him and maybe kiss him a little.
I have always been the type to bite off more than I can chew, but this time I want to help someone.
Jaxon
I have no future. At least that’s what my ex-girlfriend told me right before she dumped my ass. Two years later and I’m still stuck fixing the auto shop’s messes while everyone moves on. It’s hard to stay a carefree person after losing everyone close to you. I’d rather burn the bridge myself than let someone walk across. But there’s one bridge that refuses to ignite. My ex-girlfriend’s little brother, Leon Reed. He’s the embodiment of sunlight and he won’t leave me alone. So tell me, why do I think his smiles are cute?
Leon is too bright for me, but I can’t stop looking at him.

Estelle has done it again! Loved getting to see Leon and Jaxon’s story come to life. This was the perfect addition to this series. Now I am patiently waiting to see what happens next! We need more for this Chosen Name series!

This. Story. Is. Amazing. I was so curious for Leon's and Jason's story and it was just so cute. Let me just crawl into the book and hug these two because they deserve all the hugs.
Two sad bois searching for unconditional love, someone to accept them for who they are and finding exactly that in each other. It takes both of them some time to come to terms with their own and the other's feelings but the break up is short and it doesn't take them long to finally trust that they have a relationship that is going to last.
If you like extremely relatable characters, bi-awakening, nicknames, a great group of found family and friends and diverse representation, you should definitely pick up this series.
"What's Your Name" is Book 2 in the Chosen Name Series by Estelle Grant but can be read as a standalone (even if you definitely shouldn't miss out on Sally's and Oliver's story!!)

What’s Your Name was such a sweet story! I loved every second of Leon and Jackson. 😩 There were so many times during the book that my heart ached for them but their happily ever after is so worth it! The depth of their feelings and relationship is so beautiful and it truly feels like they were made for each other.
Highly recommend adding this book to your TBR!
Happy reading! 📖🌻🛻🐺

Loved it, even though some things were a bit overkill (aka "a beer can"?🤔 but I have no size comparison of beer cans in the US, so...✌️)
