Dylan's Love
James is middle-aged.
Dylan is young.
James has been unlucky in love and Dylan has never been given a reason to believe in love. James has recently gone through a break-up, and Dylan hates being alone.
One day, while James is umpiring for the local under twenty-fives pro soccer team, he has a chance encounter with Dylan. There is an immediate attraction. Sparks fly.
Even though James is incredibly attracted to Dylan, he has to wonder if that’s enough to take the plunge and try to get over his past experiences with love.
And even if he wants to take the chance, Dylan is too young...right?
How could they ever work as a couple?
A sweet, funny, sporty, and sometimes saucy May/December MM romance.

Clyde Andrews did it again. Dylan's Love is another LGBTQ+ categorical story that involves James and Dylan. James is a middle-aged man and Dylan is younger. The characters are well thought out and relatable. The pace is well thought out. Clyde's writing style is entertaining and effective. I find it a success story when I don't remember that I am reading a story, and the story maintains my focus the entire time. The story does make you think, "does age matter?" The story breaks societal stereotypes of age and relationships.
It's another cute story from Clyde, and anyone who enjoys LGBTQ+ stories then this is another one you should check out.

What a cute read! I spent most of the story laughing my ass off and the other half awww-ing over the sweetness. Aiden has the best lines, James is oblivious to his own charms, and Dylan is super sweet. This was a breath of fresh air that came at the perfect time.

Such a sweet and funny story about the triumph of true love. James and Dylan are so cute, I had a silly smile the entire time I was reading this. And the sassy BFF…
Beautiful! I highly recommend this one and I’m looking forward to reading more of Clyde’s stories.

Excellent read!
I fully enjoyed this story. I was able to visualise each character quite clearly and tone of voice as well, especially Aiden. Each character was believable and so were the situations. The struggles are real that many would be able to relate to, especially the most basic one of all: acceptance. To oneself, to others, to one's surroundings, situations, experiences, events.
Great story and one I recommend. Thank you!

I’m crying
Clyde could write anything and I’ll love it without a doubt; this is a hill I’m willing to die on. Omg.
I love this story so much! My heart ached through it all—the good, the bad, all of it. Also thoroughly enjoyed all of the various and creative “Jesus” phrases LOL

This is beautiful and the side characters are fleshed out. There are some great laughs and I loved that it didn't shy away from the hurdles that can be placed on Lgbt relationships. Looking forward to the next one!

This was a delightful story of a 40-ish man spurned by love again and an enigmatic 24 yr old who isn't afraid to lay claim on what he wants.
It was charming and fun, the banter between characters fresh and witty. Definitely goes into the quickie re-read category.

I wanted to like it. I love age gap romances, romcoms, and a good Aussie romance and this had all of that going for it. It just fell flat for me unfortunately. And I didn't like the friend, Aiden, he had no concept of personal space and was a bit of a creeper. Maybe I just didn't get it.

So right from the beginning, I started to have some issues. The whole opening sequence with Paul left me wondering how much of a doormat James really was. Turns out he’s a big one. He never takes a stand on anything and is completely swayed by other opinions and demands, especially his “BFF” Aiden (Adds), whom I found to be one of the most annoying characters ever. James can’t even get Adds to observe simple boundaries of respect. Dylan was likable enough but his constant use of “babe” and an endearment was not, well, endearing to this reader. And enough with the Jesus expressions! No, I was not at all offended by them, they were just overdone and childlike.
The whole story takes place over the course of about a week or so, in which time James and Dylan go from first date to madly in love then torn apart by Dylan’s homophobic father to Aiden getting them back together. And then even by the epilogue, there is no resolution to the situation with the father; we’re kind of left dangling on that piece.
But overall, I just didn’t feel the heat between our two MCs. Their whole relationship is presented through the guise of sex. There are no really deep or romantic conversations or any romantic episodes. Sorry, I know I’m in the minority here, but this story just didn’t work for me.

It reads like a YA book with 15 year olds as the MCs.

It’s OK
The story is super silly and sweet. There’s one major conflict, touches of angst, some serious self-doubt/insecurity and a promised HEA at the end.
