Free (DRM-free) Complicated [Gay Aspiring Film Star Movie Industry Romance]

[ATDrake]

Complicated by Megan Slayer is the 1st in her eponymous series of contemporary romances (both m/m and f/m) set in the filmmaking industry, this installment an m/m New Adult one starring an aspiring young actor and a former child star trying to revive his career as an action movie hero, free courtesy of publisher Resplendence and AllRomance eBooks as their Earth Day Countdown giveaway selection for April 5th.

This has a steamy 4 out of 5 flames on the ARE heat index, and no particular warnings in the tags, though they do mention that there's a virgin hero in this somewhere (and maybe a few things that lead to a change in that particular status).

Currently free until just before midnight Central Time on April 6th @ All Romance eBooks (DRM-free choice of formats available worldwide). If you happened to miss it, yesterday's 4-flame werebear/non-werebear mate-convincing paranormal romantic comedy is still available for a limited time: Kodiak's Claim

If you happen to like the author's writing, she has quite a number of freebie 5-flame shorts available on her author's page @ ARE, along with an additional short stories in two m/m romance anthologies, as well as other works at varying heat levels (both m/m and f/m and possibly other combinations thereof) across many different subsubgenres.

Should you wish to read more in this story's setting, the rest of the series (a multi-author shared world, it appears) seems to be reasonably low-priced and offers you a range of heat levels and orientations (as mentioned, you can get both m/m and f/m romances in this setting, from medium to explicit according to the blurb/tag contents), and these and the author's other titles are mostly eligible for ARE's standard Buy 10 Get 1 Free and other rebate offers.

Description
Finding the love of your life is hard, especially when you’re young and in the movies.

Jonathan Reynolds came to Cleveland, Ohio to break into the movies. He might not have the most orthodox methods, but he’s got the drive. He wants to be a star and shed his small town image. He’s no kid, although at twenty-one, he’s not very experienced. He’s happy with only having a few lines during a crowd scene—until he meets Sean Banks. Maybe it’s time for this virgin to come of age.

Sean Banks has been there, done that—on everything. The former child star grew up in the glare of the spotlight and beat his addiction to drugs and alcohol. But at twenty-four, he’s considered all washed up. He knows the role in this high budget action picture will catapult him back into the spotlight. He’s not ready to open his heart again, until he sees Jonathan. The young man captivates him. Can the jaded former star and the up-and-coming actor find common ground and passion between the sheets? Or will their love be relegated to the silver screen?
