This was one of the holiday reads from last year that I really enjoyed – Zeb and Atlas’ story was super sweet & swoony! Zeb was a total sweetheart and he’d been pining for Atlas for a long time thinking it was hopeless crush, but we all know what might happen with some forced proximity (and only one bed)…
Catered All the Way was a charming and low angst story with lots of sweet moments, and I just loved the characters and the small town vibes!
How it begins…
“What do you mean Atlas isn’t coming?” I glared at my older brother, who always managed to bring out my grumpy side, especially this early on Thanksgiving.
Tropes
- holiday
- brother’s best friend
- sexual discovery
- age gap
- small town
Last night, Zeb had truly felt like mine, a piece of myself I hadn’t known was missing, and something that belonged to me and me alone. Mine.
What to expect
- gaming streamer x Navy SEAL
- pining
- some forced proximity
- only one bed
- grumpy / sunshine vibes
- a touch of grief & past loss
- super sweet & swoony
My heart hammered, and my tongue was suddenly too thick to speak. Yearning clogged my chest. I didn’t just want this future. I needed it. I wanted it for me, yes, but for Atlas most of all. He’d never really had community, a place to put down roots and call home, and I could be the person for him.
