Stylite

The Stylite Chronicles #3

by Tag Gregory, Lily Marie

'The Brat’ and ‘Eggy’, our unlikely duo, have discovered that the Triangle Building is hiding lots of secrets.

Unfortunately, one of those secrets is the series of tunnels leading off under the city of Pittsburgh which Tristan is intent on exploring even over poor Brandon’s objections. However, by this point the boys are both so caught up in the mystery they’ve uncovered in the building’s records - records hinting that the architect might have been gay, that there was some historic scandal associated with one of the past owners, and that this scandal ended in a suicide - that neither are willing to give up on the puzzle. In the course of their investigations, they inevitably grow closer, their undeniable mutual attraction taking over, with Tristan determined to break through Brandon’s OCD barriers. Will uncovering the full story of that mysterious ancient romance help our history sleuths find their own happy ending?

THE STYLITE CHRONICLES is the second literary collaboration of authors Tag Gregory and Lily Marie). Like their first novel - TIME BLITZ - the STYLITE series of books tell a story that defies genre classification. It’s replete with romance, mystery, history, humor, and adventure. It’s a story that explores the struggles gay men face, regardless of which century they find themselves in.

We like to call it a ‘Mystery History Romance’ and we think you’ll like it.

So good!!!

I really, really love Brandon and Tristan. I love that Tristan wants to help Brandon with his OCD and that Brandon is willing to address his disorder. I like seeing how these two have grown into their relationship over the course of this series. I love the historical building aspect of the story. I'm intrigued by old buildings and the secrets they keep, and this series feeds my curiosity about such things!!! If you're into old buildings and adorable men, I would definitely recommend this series. This book is best appreciated as part of an ongoing series.

3.5/4*
The story is complete.
Tristan and Brandon develop further in this installment, with Brandon finally getting proper help for his OCD. And Tristan finally gets to live out his shaving fantasy with Brandon.
Via the journals, we discover the outcome of the Triangle’s triangle of Jay, Peebles and Carnegie, though I did feel a bit like there was something missing-but then in real life we don’t always get the answers we want.

Satisfying end to this great new series. The way the subplot wove into the main characters' romance made it all come together. You'll love it.
