A Love in Laguna Novel How can you be twenty-five and not know you’re gay? Billy Ballew runs from that question. A high school dropout, barely able to read until he taught himself, Billy’s life is driven by his need to help support his parents as a construction worker, put his sisters through college, coach his Little League team, and not think about being a three-time loser in the engagement department. Being terrified of taking tests keeps Billy from getting the contractor's license he so desires, and fear of his mother's judgment blinds Billy to what could make him truly happy. Then, in preparation for his sister’s big wedding, Billy meets Shaz—Chase Phillips—a rising-star celebrity stylist who defines the word gay. To Shaz, Billy embodies everything he’s ever wanted—stalwart, honest, brave—but even if Billy turns out to be gay, he could never endure the censure he’d get for being with a queen like Shaz. How can two men with so little in common find a way to be together? Can the Stylist of the Year end up with the Knight of Ocean Avenue?

Some favorites include firefighters, law enforcement, BDSM, M/M couples with children, military boys, hockey boys and hurt/healing/comfort. (I have so much to choose from!) But there is a special place in my heart for your basic, straight forward M/M romance which feature protagonists who are regular, good, honest, decent folks who overcome great obstacles to reach their entirely well-deserved HEA. Knight of Ocean Avenue will go down as one of these special books for me.MC Billy Ballaw is a incredibly hard working construction worker with a heart of gold. He gives half of his salary to his parents, after his dad suffered a heart attack and could no longer work. He helped put his sister through college. He coaches a little league team because he feels it's important to have a safe place for children to explore their interests without the fear of bullying and he always shows up for the family dinner at his parent's place every Sunday. He also has two cats which he absolutely adores, which just clinched the deal for me. Just a regular guy that anyone would love. And, boy, did I fall for him! On top of his personally-plus persona, he is a hulking 6'5" of gorgeous man meat.MC Chase "Shaz" Phillips is a professional stylist. He owns his own business where he treats his employees like family, usually thinking of their welfare before his own. After being thrown out by his biological family at the tender age of 16 for being gay, he has worked hard to make a place for himself in this world. He is extremely flamboyant and makes absolutely no excuses for his exaggerated homosexuality. He has been looking for his heroic Knight to rescue his from the proverbial tower since he first realized he was gay. He finds that Knight in Billy.This story was a absolutely enchanting journey of Billy discovering his true sexually at the age of 25 and how he and Shaz meet and fall in love. The warm-fuzzies will be slapping you in the face at every turn and I found myself with a huge, silly grin on my face many, many times as I read this. Incredibly low angst, this is a perfect book for anyone who needs an easy, feel-good book to pull them out of a crappy mood. Bonus points for the hot sex!!I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND Knight of Ocean Avenue to all lovers of M/M romance. The only thing missing was an epilogue, but author Tara Lain has a sequel Knave of Broken Hearts in the works featuring Billy's good friend Joe, so I know we will see this boys again.
8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Tender, swoony, odd-couple romance. I loved. By V. Rundell of V's Reads Billy Ballew is a dud with the ladies. Three broken engagements lay at his feet on the eve of his baby sister’s wedding. At 25 years old and still a bachelor, his fiercely religious mother is impatient for grandkids, and always willing to make her desire known. Billy is a hard-working man; always has been. He’s qualified to be a licensed contractor but suffers test-taking anxiety after years of ridicule in school. He’d been a late bloomer in terms of reading, though now he’s fully literate and supporting himself–and, to some degree, his parents ever since his father’s debilitating heart attack years ago. Billy dropped out of school and worked to help pay the mortgage and his younger sister’s college tuition–and his sacrifices have not gone unnoticed.In prep for the big wedding of his sister to a hoity-toity rich guy, Billy allows himself to be talked into working with his sister’s stylist, Shazam, so that he’ll be fashionable for all the wedding events. Still questioning what keeps going wrong with his relationships, Billy is stunned to find Shaz, the effeminate redhead, strangely appealing. Billy has only been sexually active with a man once–if you consider paying a trick for some oral distraction “active”–and he is freaked out.Shaz is more than a little attracted to his straight client. Dressing such a big, burly man–one who had interfered in a possible bashing of himself–is a fun challenge, and Shaz is determined to make friends with Billy, if only to spend more time with him. Thing is, the more time they spend, the greater the attraction simmers between them.Okay, so there are a lot of issues at play in this story. Homophobic crew on Billy’s worksites, homophobic parents on the little league team Billy coaches, homophobic mother…casual homophobia and direct homophobia. Cheating partners and supportive friends. Men finding their way independently both sexually and financially, and that doesn’t only mean Billy, or even Shaz. There are great secondary characters here who round out the narrative.While Billy begins to sort out his complicated feelings about possibly being gay, Shaz is sorting out the mess of being a partner to a closet case, or having the important people in Billy’s life hate both of them. The so-called ‘you turned him gay’ backlash is not Shaz’s cup of Darjeeling. A wealthy potential business partner swoops into Shaz’s life and Billy quadruple guesses what the heck a sexy, suave sophisticated man like Shaz could see in a rough, barely literate high school drop out like himself. A lot of time is spent with these two men having strong feelings for one another, and yet staying separate, working on their lives with an eye to figure out how to restart what they had barely initiated. Which only makes it sweeter when Billy rides in to the rescue. Because he does.At his core, Billy is as decent a person as anyone could hope to know. He volunteers for little league coaching, he works two and three jobs to have money to support his family, he has two gay cats which (I’m sure even though the book didn’t say) were shelter rescues. He doesn’t sleep around and he apologizes for cursing in front of his mother. The man is a freaking saint, and thinks he’s dirt because he did poorly in school. If Shaz didn’t climb him like a tree, several times, I would have attempted it myself.Shaz is, himself, a good egg. He works hard and values hard work. The socialite playboys he always finds himself aligned with are too narcissistic and have no sense of honor, but Shaz sees real honor and valor, even, in Billy. The more Billy embraces his sexuality, the more astounded Shaz is by his courage.This is a well-crafted Gay-For-You romance that embraces the idea of slow changes and coming to terms with one’s self before coming out. Shaz, having been shunned by his own family, never pressures Billy to make bold moves. On the contrary, he assures Billy he cares for him exactly as he is, and will stand wherever he needs to to keep Billy within a comfort zone. Even after becoming physical, the end is far into the future, with major hurdles for Billy to overcome. I was so glad that he had Shaz beside him for most of it. The sexytimes are fun and flirty as well as being sexy-sexy. I just enjoyed the book so much.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. I fell head over heels in love with Billy Ballew from the first page By D. Antonio I received an ARC of Knight of Ocean Avenue by Tara Lain from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. Fortunately it isn’t hard to give this fantastic book a great review. I may have used up this months quota of tissues though.I fell head over heels in love with Billy Ballew from the first page. Billy is a good guy who is trying to do right by everyone. He loves and supports his family but has had no luck finding the girl to give his mother grandkids. He meets out and proud Shaz—Chase Phillips and the sparks fly. How can you be twenty-five and not know you’re gay? This book explores that and the growing relationship between Billy and Shaz. Like any good romance this book made me laugh and cry and sometimes sigh but I loved every minute of it.
