Smoky Mountain Dreams #1 Bestseller on Amazon’s Gay Romance, Gay Fiction, Hot New Releases #1Click #amreading

November 30, 2014 by Leta

On Thanksgiving morning, I woke up to so much to be grateful for…and that was before I was alerted by text that Smoky Mountain Dreams had gone to #1 on the Amazon Gay Romance, Gay Fiction, and Hot New Releases charts!

THANK YOU, READERS! A book is nothing without a reader and you guys are amazing! Thank you for buying, reading, and trusting the book with your time and money. It’s an honor to be given that kind of trust. I hope not to ever abuse it.

Sometimes holding on means letting go Christopher Ryder and Jesse Birch are two men hanging on to the past. While Christopher has let go of his failure as a country singer in Nashville, he's still trying to please his narrow-minded, non-accepting family. His beloved Gran loves him the way he is, but Christopher feels painfully invisible to everyone else. He’s happy enough performing at the Smoky Mountain Dreams theme park in Tennessee, but even when Christopher is center stage he aches for someone to see the real him. There's more than meets the eye when it comes to bisexual Jesse. He's raising two kids and fighting with family after a tragic accident took his children’s mother. There's no room in his life for dating, his kids are his priority, and he doesn't want more than an occasional hook-up. He sure as hell doesn't want to fall hard for his favorite local singer, but when Christopher walks into his jewelry studio, Jesse hears a new song in his heart.
