From fake date to friends with benefits, commitment’s not an issue
Elliot
Freddie’s way too young. I’m twice his age and old enough to be his father. He’s an adorable mix of sexy, smart, sassy, shy and sweet. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to be forced into taking him as my fake date to my oldest friend’s wedding, just because my cheating ex will be there.
Freddie
Elliot’s everything I want in a man, he’s my ultimate silver fox fantasy. But I’ve had my heart ripped out by an older guy before, and I’ve vowed it’ll never happen again. So why have I let myself be talked into posing as Elliot’s arm candy at a posh wedding?
From fake date to friends with benefits, commitment’s not part of the deal. So where does falling in love fit in?
◆◆◆Commitment Issues is a May-December MM romance. Expect to find plenty of snark, a touch of angst, friends who think they know best, slow burn sexual tension leading to high heat. And a scruffy mutt of a dog. HEA guaranteed◆◆◆

A great start to a new series!
I have never been disappointed when I’ve read a book by Ali Ryecart and Commitment Issues didn’t change that. Age-gap stories aren’t typically my favorite romance trope but lately they’ve been growing on me and I loved this one. A trope that I do love is the economic-gap type story be it like Pretty Woman (rent-boy/wealthy client) or where one MC is wealthy and the other is not as with this book.
Freddie is a poor student working on his PHD. He’s working two jobs and still has trouble paying for food, let alone his rent. When the opportunity comes along to earn enough money to keep him going for several months, he doesn’t really have a choice but to grab it.
Elliot is a successful businessman who just ended a long relationship when he found his fiancé in bed with another man. One of his best friends is getting married and he knows his ex-fiancé will be there with another man. Another friend insists that Elliot should also take a date to the wedding.
So, it’s no spoiler to say that Freddie and Elliot end up being more than friends. What makes this story so good is the way that Ali Ryecart describes the places that Elliot and Freddie visit and the situations she puts these guys in. While Freddie is basically a shy guy, he surprises himself, and Elliot, with his ability to play the role of Elliot’s boyfriend. He has some of the best comebacks to throw at Gavin (Elliot’s ex) and his wit is quick and on point.
Of course, it’s not all smooth sailing but I knew that Ali would give these two the HEA that they deserve and that I needed them to have. And she did indeed give us what we needed. 🥰

I USED TO TELL MY STORIES TO MYSELF, NOW I TELL THEM TO THE WORLD…
The stories I only ever told to myself took place in a world where it was boy meets boy, where best friends became more, where the hero didn’t save the damsel but the hot guy he’d been secretly crushing on.
I wanted to read those stories. I craved to read those stories. But those stories weren’t out there. Or that’s what I thought… Until one Christmas, when I unwrapped a shiny new e-reader. All it took was a few clicks, and my world changed forever.
I FOUND MY TRIBE.
But there is life outside of MM & gay romantic fiction in all its configurations. Allegedly.
When I’m forced to switch off the trusty, faithful word machine, there’s a husband to feed and talk to, pubs to drink in, and cake to eat. I love to do all those things and more, before I rush back to write all the words.
I’m a Londoner, born and bred, but I now live just outside of the big bad city, but close enough to hop on a train so I can get my regular metropolitan fix.
