One Night, two boys, and a lethal dose of puppy love.
Brayden is traveling with his parents from Newhaven to Wakefield. What starts as a grueling journey for the 14-year-old turns into a time of transcendence when he meets another family at a camping site whose son is jaw-droppingly beautiful. Will the boys get to know each other? Will they grow a bond, or will the brief interaction be nothing more than passing at crossroads. Join Brayden for his first stumblings on the love scene, and see what becomes of his awkwardness.
Dumbstruck is about all those times we are swept off our feet by a stranger in passing, but this time around what if we got to know them?
D.K. Daniels writes contemporary/realistic fiction with both teen and college-aged characters aimed at an LGBTQ+ audience. His novels often stem from an isolated high-school career and rational outlook on life. For the most part, the stories he writes are about young people finding their way in a noisy world.
When D.K. is not writing, he camps and hikes in many countries across the world, and is a major film and game enthusiast. He spends way too much time listing to Indie Folk, giving his dog belly rubs, and tapping away on an old typewriter in the backyard. His love for storytelling derived from consuming hours and hours of entertainment during the most isolated years of his teenagehood. Hailing from Ireland, D.K.'s hobby is backed by his amazing boyfriend and loving family.
An excellent beginning to a YA gay romance series. As usual, D.K. Daniels sucks you right in with great characters and premise. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
