Release Blitz Excerpt:
Connor
He tilted his head slightly, and suddenly his lips met mine in a gentle kiss. It was almost uncertain, and for a fraction of a second, my body stilled as it tried to process what the fuck was going on. Except I couldn’t process anything. I could barely even breathe because Patrick was kissing me.
Patrick was kissing me.
His lips were warm and soft and more perfect than anything I’d ever felt. I wanted to live in this moment forever or encase it in my memory so I’d never forget it.
My mouth pressed back against his. Time slowed to a crawl.
And then the kiss was over and nothing in the world would ever be the same again.
I stared at him as we broke apart. My heart was racing, my mouth opening and then closing again as no words came out. I couldn’t believe he’d kissed me. Especially here, in front of his entire family.
And now I had to pretend my entire universe hadn’t just exploded into a billion new star systems and that this was a totally normal and absolutely non-special thing because Patrick and I kissed all the time. I mean, we were dating, why wouldn’t we suck face at every possible opportunity?
Except that sounded weird and gross because that was exactly the opposite of what had just happened.
Sure, I wouldn’t turn down the opportunity to make out with Patrick. And if that happened to come with a side of groping, grinding, and getting naked, I would be starkers before you could say go. But that kiss was different; it was tender and affectionate. The sort of kiss you might give someone you loved…
Which made my head spin even more because that made no flipping sense.

Strawberry Kisses by Charlie NovakMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
What I liked about Strawberry Kisses is Patrick's family was so acceptable about him coming out and waited for Patrick to announce his relationship with Connor.
I'm in a verge of hating a particular boy with make-up these days (don't ask), but Connor is so adorable it was hard not to like him. Besides, Patrick loved him for like 30 second after he met Connor.
Two idiots indeed, because instead of say the words, they're keeping a silence.
But thanks to Patrick's family gathering, and the support of his family, they're finally open up.
This was nice in the beginning, but kinda a little bit downhill and dragged in the middle.'-
The story idea is a little cliché, but yeah, since we need this kind of sweetness, Patrick and Connor were entertaining.
And the Epilogue was great, because, who wouldn't want a HEA in this world of uncertainty?
Read this book!
