Blush: A Valentine's Meet-Cute

by Blake Avery

Blush is a 13k Valentine’s Day novella that will warm your heart and heat your sheets, leaving you wanting more.

Shane

Valentine’s Day is nothing more than a reminder that true love doesn’t exist.

I don’t believe in Cupid, or fairy tale endings, and I’ve worked hard to accept that bitter reality. So, I’m determined to make this Valentine’s Day about me, myself, and I.

Until I catch a lost kitten eyeing me in the last place an innocent guy like him should be.

The moment I see him, my plan for a mindless night vanishes, and I’m left begging for Cupid to shoot an arrow my way.

Beau

Valentine’s Day has always been about creating special memories for those near and dear to my heart. But this is the year of Beau and I decide it’s time to live up to my resolution to branch out and embrace the things I want.

That’s how I ended up inside Right Spot, looking like a deer in headlights, where I ran into the most beautiful man in the world. I’m shocked by his brazen attitude, stunned by the effect he has on me, and I find myself accepting an invitation for a night I won’t soon forget.

Happy Valentine’s Day to me.

4.5 ⭐️ I fell in love with this cute Valentines-novella with Shane and Beau. When Shane thinks he have to spend the romantic holiday alone, he's very plesantly suprised when he meets the shy and cute Beau, and invites him home for a cozy evening. This novella was very cute and a whole lot of spicy, and I enjoyed it very much. I felt that the pace and plot suited the lenght of the novella, and both Shane and Beau are such lovable characters. For everyone who wants to read a spicy, cute and funny novella for Valentines Day, this is the one for you! I'm excited to read more from Blake Avery in the future, and a big thank you as well to the author for giving me an arc of their debut novella.

ARC REVIEW

This was just so cute. AND HOT. Beau is bashful and has unfulfilled fantasies and Shane is just so confident and wants to give them all to Beau. It's so funny they met at a sex shop. What starts as a one-night stands evolves into more. We get buttplugs, edging, coming hands-free, and a femme top who will do anything for his kitten.

⭐️ 4 stars ⭐️

He’s so sweet and I love his nervous energy. I have an overwhelming desire to see him squirm beneath me, cheeks flushed as he takes his pleasure.
The quiet ones really are the most fun.

A spicy Valentine’s Day novella.
Cupid’s throwing arrows in a sex shop, and sexy Shane can’t resist shy and adorkable Beau.
Loved the dynamic between the characters, the pillow princess wanting to follow orders from a feisty top in lingerie.

“Did you come prepared like a good boy?” Beginning to shake, I nod. “Y-Yes.” “And please tell me that noise left your lips because you’re stuffed, stretched, and ready for me.”

Blake Avery warns us in the blurb that this would leave us wanting more, and it sure did. It has a sweet ending to their spicy night, and hopefully these two have many more Valentine’s Days together.

That fucking blush. I swear, it’s enough to make me want to wrap him in a blanket and never let him leave.

I received a copy of this book from Gay Romance Reviews, and this is my honest review.

[Book Binge: Reviews by Melissa DaSilva · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5 stars. This was an interesting debut novella. The concept was great but the execution was a bit off. I do wish there were some content warnings included as I found the one MC to be on the pushy and aggressive side towards the other MC, especially at the beginning. Also thought there were too many tropes/kinks crammed into this short story.

I really didn’t warm up to Shane at all unfortunately. I liked Beau. He seemed sweet but his actions were a bit awkward at times. If you’re looking for a short story that’s not as cute and fluffy as I expected with flawed characters and a potential HFN then give it a try!

[Lauralee · Rating 2 out of 5]

Shane is convinced that Valentine’s Day is everything that’s wrong with the world. He hates it because he doesn’t believe in love, and his ex dumped him on Valentine’s Day. Beau is a true romantic at heart, and he absolutely loves the holiday and everything about love. They both end up at the same sex shop, looking for a way to spend the day alone, when maybe they should just spend it together.

This is a novella debut from Blake Avery! It’s a quick one, 57 Pages and spicy too! I do not understand why we needed a whole paragraph about liquid diarrhea in a tiny novella though!


Read this if you love things like:
-Just One Night
-Praise Kink
-Opposites Attract

A Valentine’s Day Novella

Shane - not a fan of Valentine’s Day, which is understandable cos his ex left him for a WOMAN!!

Beau is shopping in a sex store when they meet and instant attraction
.
“I want you, Beau. You’re adorable and shy and exactly what I need to make me forget I’m alone on this wretched holiday.”

“I just agreed to a one time hook-up with a random stranger and didn’t even get his name. I’m really questioning who I am at this moment. I don’t do this. I don’t enter sex shops and agree to have my ass fucked.”

This is a super quick read , it’s cute and sexy but leaves you wanting more. The ending felt more like a Happy for Now cos of the timeline.

Arc review

This was such a sweet, hilarious, but also spicy Valentine Novella as somebody with anxiety. I felt like there were so many little details that were extremely relatable. And this definitely did pack so much in for being such a short book, and I loved every second of it. I hope that Micah’s gets a story; he just seemed like he could be such an interesting character, and we could see what our boys are up to after their one night turned more…

[Alex (HEABookNerd) · Rating 3 out of 5]

BLUSH was a sexy and short read that wasn't bad for a debut; it had a fun meet-cute and Beau and Shane were cute together. My biggest reason for not rating this higher is because it felt like the author had a bunch of tropes and kinks they wanted to include but didn't care if they all went together or matched the characters' personalities.

■ "Shane: And for the first time, he looks directly into my eyes, cheeks a stunning shade of rose blush, and I realize just how perfect he is. I mean, I knew it, but now I know it. I’ve gotta play it cool though, and approach this situation slowly as if dealing with a lost kitten. Huh, he kind of is a kitten." 🐈‍⬛🥰

■ "Shane: Beau’s laughing at me and I don’t even care. The sound is like music to my ears, his smile is blinding, his expression carefree, and I find that I want more of it. I quickly realize that I would make a complete fool of myself for him." 💘

■ "Beau: Without shame, he nods. “Hell yeah, kitten. I couldn’t stop it. That was the hottest experience of my life.”
Heat floods my face at his praise, but I force myself to make eye contact.
“Mine too. Tonight was perfect, Shane. Thank you.”
He hugs me, squeezing lightly, and whispering in my ear, “You are such a good boy."
...
I was… a bit preoccupied before, but now my stomach is growling on cue, making Shane giggle. Fuck me. I love that little giggle.

Blush is a debut novella from Blake Avery

This starts with a sexy meet cute in an Adult Toy store

Shane hates Valentine's Day and has his solo enjoyment planned once he buys a new toy.

Beau is awkward, completely out of his comfort zone and hoping to go unnoticed. Totally adorable

Beau finds himself agreeing on a hookup that night with Nathan

What follows is equal parts awkward and hot and reads like a combination of chapters in a longer novel

It's smutty, sexy and totally awkward but if the author publishes an extended version with more context I would certainly read it.

An enjoyable quick read .

This was an ARC read gifted to me by GRR but the opinions are my own

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

I received an ARC of Blush in exchange for an honest review.

I will admit I have a love / hate relationship with novellas and Blush is a perfect example of this.

To start I absolutely LOVED Blush. The story was well written, short & sweet with some very spicy scenes and the most adorable pet name ‘Kitten’ (so yeah lots of boxes being ticked here). Shane & Beau were adorable and so perfect for each other. The sex shop meet-cute had me swooning for these boys.

Now for the HATE part … this story was far too short. What sort of voodoo was Blake writing into this story?? I want more… no I NEED more of these boys and I would so love to have a full length novel.

I’ve read a lot of books, a lot of debuts and not every author has that spark that really ignites my passion for the story. Blake nailed her debut and she is definitely an author to keep on your radar.

[Lea Branov · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was the perfect pallet cleanser. Beau and Shane were really cute. I would read about them for longer to be honest. I don’t really know what else to say, this was just a really cute little Valentine’s Day novella. I’m excited to see what Blake Avery is going to write next!

This was a really sweet and spicy novella, and has an adorably funny meet cute moment! After meeting in a sex shop, a wild invitation is accepted for Valentine's Day night. I definitely wanted more of the story, and more spice since it was made to seem like there would be more.

[Pauline - Formidablebooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a very sweet and steamy novella!
Yes, a lot happens in a short time but you have to expect such pacing when reading a novella.
Still I loved how hot the chemistry was from the very start! Both MCs had no choice but to give in to that need for each other, and despite the high steam aspect of this story, you actually get to know both of them just enough to get invested in their romance.

I will be reading more from this author for sure!

If you don’t like insta love and quick hook ups, keep scrolling.

Shane and Beau agree to have a one night stand. They both have needs so why not? There is a hint of a larger story that we don’t get to see.

They are both sweet and spicy to each other. It was a lovely read.

Blush is a debut novella featuring one man who hates Valentine’s Day and another who is romantic. I was super excited for this one because the concept sounded right up my alley but unfortunately the execution wasn’t the greatest. There was a lot crammed in and in such a novella that can make it harder to connect with the characters and story.

[Julie Underhill · Rating 4 out of 5]

Blush by Blake Avery is the story of 2 men who hate Valentine’s Day, one because of a breakup and the other because he is alone, who meet in a unique setting, plan a date, and once they are together hope that they can have more. Shane hates Valentine’s Day because his ex broke up with him for a woman and left him on that day. He decides that he is not staying home and goes to Right Spot, an adult store as something to do. Beau is a shy, unassuming guy who blushes easily but decides that he is going to get some confidence to also go to Right Spot and look for a toy. Once he gets the courage to go inside he sees a lot of people there and is not sure he wants to stay. But he finds the aisle he is looking for and sees a beautiful man, Shane, looking at some of the merchandise while talking on the phone. He is rooted to the spot and when he looks at him he gets flustered and tries to leave. But Shane is intrigued by him and asks him about what he is holding. When Beau goes to leave after a short conversation he follows him and says since Beau helped him he wants to help Beau. Shane thinks he’s adorable and just his type and tells him he wants him for just one night. Beau says OK because he's resolved to take what he wants in life and put himself first for once. They exchange phone numbers and Shane texts him with his address and tells him to be there at 8:00, ready for some fun and to bring his test results. Beau needs someone to take control, make decisions, and pamper and take care of him and he thinks Shane is just that man so he nervously shows up with roses. Meanwhile Shane has called his best friend, Micah, and told him that he has met the love of his life and that Beau is destined to be his. Micah tells him to be careful because he doesn’t want to see him get hurt again. Once Shane and Beau are together the fun starts with all kinds of hot love scenes which is what Beau came over for. Shane learns that he is somewhat submissive and really enjoys being told, “Good boy”. They both say that what they have done together is the hottest experience of their lives, and even though they thought that this was a one night thing, they both realize it could become more and agree to see each other again so this will be their best memory of Valentine’s Day and will replace the old ones they had. I enjoyed this short story but it is very steamy. Beau is so shy and unassuming, blushes and gets embarrassed easily, but he finds the courage to go after what he wants, which is to have some “fun” with Shane. Shane was really hurt by his ex but finds Beau to be just what he needs and he likes being able to give him what he wants and fulfill his desires while also having a great time. I recommend this book, especially if you like short stories between two men who seem to be opposites yet are able to fulfill each other’s fantasies of a one night stand with lots of very hot love scenes and then find they want more with each other.

Shane is everything he wants to be. He knows he is attractive and can bring on the spice. Its Valentines day and he has nobody to celebrate with and planned to spend the evening have his way with himself. It would be great, he needed to just stop by the adult toy story and pick up a new toy.

Beau wasn’t fond of Valentine's Day, but it’s a new year, and he has decided to do the things he wants, not what is expected. That means enjoying what makes him feel good, and that means he needs to stop at the shop and pick up something that will help him fulfill that. He couldn’t help it that the guy in the next aisle was hot and was talking about some naughty things. His body sure got interested.

When Shane decided Beau would be a great Valentine’s Day distraction that would get rid of some bad memories and replace them with good ones.

OPINION: This is a cute Novella with two interesting guys. I didn’t get enough of either of them and would love to know more about their worlds. This falls right on the middle line between a love story and erotica. There is spice and kindness. It's a quick read, and you end up really hoping they turn their HFN into a HEA. There is a lot of potential for so much more, but this was a great story of a hot night between two very interesting men. If you want a few hot moments, give it a read.

[Winnie Quick · Rating 5 out of 5]

My only complaint is that I wanted more! The first line had me cackling. Same bro, same. I love humor with my steam and this novella gave me plenty of both. Shane deserved a win after what he’s been through and Beau deserved someone to see him for everything he really desires. I loved the sexy undertones of their meet cute!

Shane is so bold and sassy with style for days, I love that for him. Props to Beau for being brave enough to get swept along because it definitely takes stepping out of the comfort zone with someone you just met. I knew Shane was way too adamant about hating Valentine’s Day lol. He just needed the right man to come along, even temporarily.

This book is sexy and adorable and funny and steamy. Right up my alley. I grinned and laughed and talked to my guys the entire time. I hope there are plans to expand in the future. I’d read Micah’s story too; his mostly-online friendship with Shane was so realistic to present-day and he seems really sweet as well.

Beau set it off after all! I was proud like I know him in real life. His tattoos were a great touch too because the quiet ones can be very unpredictable. Honestly, I loved the hell out of this novella. I received an advance copy of this book from Gay Romance Reviews and this is my honest review. I’m definitely following the author so I can keep up with more releases. 4.75 stars, easy.

This was a very cute debut novella and I was happy to read it.

Imagine finding the potential love of your life in a sex shop where you are trying to find an anal toy to use on yourself for the first time LOL that would be poor Beau who is totally a hot nerd and out of his depth.

He is about to give up on his quest when he spots Shane in the store and fails to check him out with any degree of finesse. Of course Shane notices him and being much more outgoing, invites Beau out on a date which turns into a very spicy night where Shane brings all of Beau's unfulfilled fantasies to life. I really loved how bossy Shane was and that he just wanted to snuggle his pillow princess and make him happy. What a cute dynamic for these two and they both got what they needed from the other in a fun and positive way with nothing but love, acceptance and a feeling of safety.

I cannot be mad at the author because she did say that it would leave us wanting more and it definitely does. I really want to know what happens to these two, does their one night stand turn into forever? I really hope so because they were really cute together.

I will definitely pick up more work by this author in the future.

Blush is the perfect mix of cute, sexy, and heartwarming. Beau is adorably bashful, harboring unfulfilled fantasies he’s never had the confidence to explore. Enter Shane—self-assured, charming, and more than willing to make every one of Beau’s desires a reality. Their chemistry is electric from the moment they meet (in a sex shop, no less!), and what starts as a one-night stand quickly turns into something deeper.

I loved how patient and attentive Shane was, ensuring Beau felt safe and cherished while pushing his boundaries in all the best ways. The intimacy between them was both tender and scorching hot. The kinks? Absolutely delicious. We get buttplugs, edging, hands-free orgasms, and a femme top who would do anything for his kitten. The dynamic between them—Shane’s confidence and Beau’s wide-eyed wonder—made every scene feel charged with both heat and emotion.

Beyond the spice, the romance felt organic and deeply satisfying. Seeing Beau come into his own with Shane’s encouragement was so rewarding. Their banter, mutual care, and slow realisation that this was more than just physical made Blush an absolute joy to read. If you love a mix of heart-melting sweetness, playful kink, and some serious steam, this book is a must-read!

[Joyfully Jay · Rating 3 out of 5]

A Joyfully Jay review.

3.5 stars

Blush is a cute and sex-filled Valentine’s Day story. It is just over 50 pages, so this is pretty short and focused mostly on Beau and Shane’s night together. The guys play with some mild kink (spanking, blindfold) and it is a sex heavy story, but nothing hard core. Shane does most of the leading and Beau is a little nervous, but enthusiastic. There is a bit of an opposites attract thing going on between them, with Shane more experienced and confident in what he wants, while Beau is experimenting for the first time. For a short story, I think we get enough background on Shane, but I did feel like I kept waiting to learn more about Beau. He talks about his mother encouraging him to have a “new year and time for a new me” but there is no detail. It just feels like there is a story there that we don’t learn.

I found this one cute and fun and a nice little Valentine’s Day nibble. This is Avery’s debut story, so this is a nice way to check out the work of a new author.

This is a short novella focusing on the meeting of Beau and Shane at a sex shop called the Right Spot. Shane is flamboyantly himself, wears pearls and lingerie, and was really screwed over by his ex, Jace, on Valentine’s Day. Now Shane hates the day and has a solo sex session planned, with chocolate after, for Valentine’s Day. He’s at the Right Spot getting supplies. Here he sees shy, embarrassed, kittenish Beau, who for the first time is trying to do something for himself. Which means buying a dildo at the Right Spot. Shane is captivated and decides to make the solo session a duo. Putting on all his bravery, Beau accepts.
The story is a night of sex with Beau and Shane, different activities, different levels of kink. I wasn’t expecting some of the things in the story – like knowing that when is nervous, he poops. “Not just poop. I piss out of my ass.” Ewww, okay. Or that Shane mentions that Beau’s cock is “little” or “small” more than once. I can’t say too much in the review, because the story is short, and nearly all sex.
The Uno game they play sounds amazing and I couldn’t help wondering if that game exists, because I would buy it.

[E.Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was as sweet and sexy as advertised. Kind of a perfect quicky for Valentine's day too, but if you're a seasonnal reader, I think this can be enjoyed any time. Valentine's Day is the background, but it's not an integral part of the story either.

I could believe the Lust at first sight quite easily, and I liked how the first part played out. The sex shop setting for a meet-cute was fun I'll be honest. The Love at first sight... meh. I'm not convinced but I could see those two dating and maybe falling in love later on.
The sex was fun but, too short? I guess I expected more of it but I went in with the wrong expectations. It's a romance novella not an erotica one, despite what it looks like.

This is the author's first published work (I think? unless they have another penname) and it's quite promising. Now, I'm looking forward to what they can do with more time to develop the characters. There's so much I would have loved to see being explored in those characters and hopefully that's what they'll give us in future books.

An advanced copy was provided to me but all opinions are my own.

When Shane and Beau meet in the sex toy aisle at the adult store, they are attracted to each other. Shane is the bold one, a Valentine’s Day hater, but this cute guy looks like he might agree to a night together. Beau loves Valentine’s Day, but is alone, wishing for someone to spend part of it with. When the handsome stranger suggests he can give Beau everything he wants tonight, Beau hesitates, then decides to take a chance on the guy, learning his name from the text with the address to report to later. Shane is ready to fulfill Beau’s fantasies, but Beau is much more comfortable being told what to do, and Shane is up to the challenge. After a mind-blowing evening, the chance is there to fulfill the wish both have — to have a Next Time.
A short, sweet, complete encounter between two lonely guys on Valentine’s Day, finding a connection and the chance for something meaningful and lasting to come from the evening. Hot and steamy, the meet cute leads to more than either expected. An entertaining read for Valentine’s Day with all the growing feels between our two MCs.
