The Gold Brothers Series by Max Walker

DUSTY GOLD College is weird. One second you’re studying for a huge exam in integrated physics and the next you’re secretly drooling over the sexy rugby player living in the dorm next door. The second after that, you’re sharing a bed with that same Insta-famous jock, staring up at the ceiling and wondering what in gay heaven caused such a miraculous and terrifying thing. Even though it all felt like a dream, logically, I could see that it wasn’t. That everything about Brandon Reed was real... moreDUSTY GOLD College is weird. One second you’re studying for a huge exam in integrated physics and the next you’re secretly drooling over the sexy rugby player living in the dorm next door. The second after that, you’re sharing a bed with that same Insta-famous jock, staring up at the ceiling and wondering what in gay heaven caused such a miraculous and terrifying thing. Even though it all felt like a dream, logically, I could see that it wasn’t. That everything about Brandon Reed was real. But logic didn’t stop me from feeling an icy-cold wave of fear every time I thought about my heart and my body in his (very large) hands. Maybe inviting him to stay at my family’s house for the summer wasn’t the greatest idea I’ve ever had? Or maybe it was the best? BRANDON REED I freakin’ loved college. Everything about it, minus the classes obviously. I loved being able to play rugby the most; losing myself to the game, watching the crowds in the stadium grow bigger with every win. Rugby gave me an escape. An escape I really needed. Then Dusty Gold springs into my life. Literally. After we end up as surprise roomies, a spring busts on his bed and we go from roommates to snuggle buddies. Snuggling somehow turns into staying with him over the summer at his family’s animal sanctuary. Soon, I find myself falling hard for the handsome and shy nerd. I’ve got a messy past, though, and Dusty’s got a bright future. Will my ghosts ruin us before we could ever really begin or will we both get a once-in-a-lifetime shot at a happy ending? _______________________ Hummingbird Heartbreak is the first book in The Gold Brothers series. It's a full-length, steamy gay romance novel and can read as a stand-alone. less
