Lollipop is a confusing and often nonsensical story about a young man who makes the “ill-advised decision” to leave behind everything he knows in NYC to travel 3,000 miles to a city he’s never visited, in the distant hope that the boyfriend who left him several months before will take him back. But her writing style just doesn’t work for me. She’s even been nominated for a RITA award. Suddenly Miguel is fending off every single man on the planet to give Ezra room to get over Rico-while fighting a burning suspicion that the best thing to help Ezra get over his broken heart is Miguel.Īmy Lane is a very well-known, and well-liked author in the M/M community. Miguel starts to notice that Ezra isn’t just amazingly sweet-he’s achingly beautiful as well. But Ezra’s placid nature and sincere wonder at the simple life Miguel has taken for granted begin to soften Miguel’s hardened shell. When Miguel finds himself partially in charge of the befuddled, dreamy, healing Ezra, he’s pretty resentful at first. ![]() Miguel Rodriguez had great plans and ambition-but a hearty dose of real life crushed those flat. Ezra, confused, hurt, and lost, clings to Rico’s cousin and his boyfriend as the lifelines they are-but their friend Miguel is another story. Instead, Rico entrusts his family and friends with Ezra’s care. Rico has moved on, but he doesn’t just leave his ex high and dry. Ezra Kellerman flew across country to see if he had another chance with the man he let slip through his fingers. ![]()
