Let’s take a little look inside of Knowing You by E.M. Lindsey, the first book in the Words We Never Said series.
I completely adored this story! It was heartwarming, sweet, full of humour and had just the right touch of angst.

“Stop calling me crazy. No reasonable person takes a vacation for two years. That’s not a vacation. That’s moving out!”
Tropes

- sexual discovery
- age gap
- friends to lovers
- hurt / comfort
- slow burn
Unconsciously, he leaned into Bowen’s touch and closed his eyes. They began to gently sway, and God, he’d never felt so safe in his life.
What to expect
- meet-cute
- dad / nanny
- a stolen prosthetic leg
- lots of support & sweetness
- a little pining & miscommunication
- praise
- abuse / trauma
“Good boy,” Bowen murmured. Lane’s entire body shivered, and his lips parted on a gasp. Bowen cupped his jaw and pressed his thumb to the front of Lane’s chin. “Oh. You like that.”
