Shire Boys #1
Luke & Aiden
The Sutherland Shire: Upmarket, cosmopolitan, family-friendly, and a blend of old-money and new.
The Tweed Shire: Rich in traditional culture, a retirement mecca of Australia, also family-friendly, and affordable to many.
Two shires. So similar in geographical features and lifestyle, but vastly different at the same time.
When things are constantly shifting around you, and you find yourself needing a bit of a change—but at the same time you want to keep the things you love about your lifestyle—what do you do? You shire swap!
Luke and Aiden: Both shire boys, both young, and both quietly gay. When they first lay eyes on each other their attraction is instant, but also confusing. Luke’s about to go under the knife, and Aiden’s about to become a father. Could it ever happen?
Welcome to the Shire Boys, where if you’re keen enough, anything can happen. Even if he makes you sick to your stomach, and him, he's a total paddlepussy!

I didn’t like this at all. Throwing a gay bashing in right at the end was terrible. I also hated how the book rambled. I’m not going to read any more books by this author.

Not what I was expecting from the synopsis.
This book was very immature. It started out ok, but then it started getting a bit ridiculous. Both guys throwing up at almost everything, including seen the other one "come???" Just skimmed the book after that and it didn't get any better. Oh, yeah, the end..."maybe next time I'll even be able to swallow." This after over 200 pages. Wasted reading.

New to me Australian mm author. Love the boys Luke and Aiden and the Australian setting for this nook. I’ll be reading more of this series. A few formatting issues but all in all a great addictive read.

Totes adorb story up until the end. Sweet young guys Luke and Aiden meet in a hospital but between the pregnant woman that might be Aiden's wife and the surgery Luke has to go to, their timing is off. Six months later when they meet up again, they both jump at the chance to go past the eye-fuck stage. Innocent and sweet dating between these two virgins follows (with assorted handjobs and frottage, but no penetrative sex). Aiden and Luke are so cute together and their families are great.

I rounded up because it is a sweet story with very likable characters. However it has so many errors that I kept being distracted from the story itself.

Super Sweet New Adult Romance. Super sweet. I love the setting and Luke and Aiden are really kind and fun to watch fall for each other.
The cast is great. This is a quick read with very mellow plot until something happens towards the end of the book. I would have liked more time after this event but we do get a lot more of these heros in the next two books in the series. (I read the series backwards like I do lol)
Aiden has a weak stomach which some readers found annoying but I like this little twist. The stuff with his mom was less believable, I kept waiting for them to discover there was some wrong with her like a brain tumor making her act so off.
I love that Luke wants to be come a child care worker.
Fun read.

I enjoyed this sweet story. I liked the gentle and funny way the boys met and fell in love. I even liked the Aussie-ness of it, although I had to look up a lot of the slang words to understand what they were talking about. The only thing I didn’t like was the ending. It disappointed me that something awful happened so close to the end of the book and then it was all wrapped up and finished in a few pages. The epilogues were nice, but I wanted more of the healing. 3.5 stars

This was amazing! I loved the characters and the pacing and the awkward reality of their relationship and Aiden's sensitive constitution. The reality of their situation was handled really well too, my heart was in my throat towards the end. I'd love to read more about these two
