"Leta Blake is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. Crazy good character development, crazy good plot with all the feels." Review of Smoky Mountain Dreams #gayromance

March 15, 2016 by Leta

“Leta Blake is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. Crazy good character development, crazy good plot with all the feels. The summary does a great job of what to expect…your heart will break for Christopher, Jesse and Jesse’s daughter, Brigid. I loved this story and really hoping there will be more to come from these characters.”

Sometimes holding on means letting go

After giving up on his career as a country singer in Nashville, Christopher Ryder is happy enough performing at the Smoky Mountain Dreams theme park in Tennessee. But while his beloved Gran loves him the way he is, Christopher feels painfully invisible to everyone else. Even when he’s center stage he aches for someone to see the real him.

Bisexual Jesse Birch has no room in his life for dating. Raising two kids and fighting with family after a tragic accident took his children’s mother, 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.

"This is my first Leta Blake book but will not be my last!" Review of Smoky Mountain Dreams #gayromance

January 15, 2016 by Leta

“This is my first Leta Blake book but will not be my last!! I loved everything about Christopher and Jesse. I immediately felt their connection and attraction. I also knew it wasn’t going to be a smooth ride. I am a self-proclaimed angst lover (both reading and writing it) and this had just the perfect amount of constant turmoil that made me read into the middle of the night hoping this couple would find their happily ever after.”

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.

Algunas veces, aferrarse a algo significa dejarlo ir Después de renunciar a su carrera como cantante de música country en Nashville, Christopher Ryder es feliz actuando en el parque temático Sueños en las Montañas Humeantes de Tennessee. Pero mientras que su querida Nana lo quiere tal y como es, Christopher se siente dolorosamente invisible para el resto del mundo. Incluso cuando está en el centro del escenario, anhela que alguien vea quién realmente es. El joven bisexual Jesse Birch no tiene tiempo en su vida para salir con nadie. Centrado en la educación de dos niños y peleando constantemente con la familia después de que un trágico accidente le arrebatara a la madre de sus hijos, no siente interés por nada más allá de un polvo ocasional. Entre sus planes no se encuentra de ningún modo enamorarse de su cantante local favorito, pero cuando Christopher entra en su taller de joyería, Jesse escucha una nueva canción en su corazón.

“I couldn’t stop reading!” Review: Smoky Mountain Dreams by Leta Blake

June 7, 2015 by Leta

“Touching storyline with realistic situations. Not as far fetched and fantasy driven as some m/m fiction. I couldn’t stop reading. I would love a sequel with Jesse and Chris navigating the challenges of the kids, business and finding time for passion!”

“One of the best gay romance novels I have read.” – David Johns’ Review: Smoky Mountain Dreams by Leta Blake #gay #romance

June 2, 2015 by Leta

“This is one of the best gay romance novels I have read. The story line and multiple plots are very well done, and there is a bit of mystery as well. There is also a notable theme about the ever changing anti gay movement among ignorant individuals. An excellent novel.”

“Solid contemporary romance with fun sexy times thrown in.” Smexy Reviews: Smoky Mountain Dreams by Leta Blake

February 20, 2015 by Leta

“What I really appreciated about this story is the way the author takes her time telling it. So many times these days, we get category length romance stories that can be fun, but don’t always allow us to really understand the characters and their motivations. In this book, you can sit back and relax.

Recommend this one.”

“My first Leta Blake book, and I’m so glad I read it.” Alan Katz’s Review of Smoky Mountain Dreams #gay #romance

December 26, 2014 by Leta

“My first Leta Blake book, and I’m so glad I read it.

Ms. Blake is a talented author – in other hands, all the heartache might have turned into melodrama, which it did not. In fact, the book was very moving, the characters highly empathetic and it grabbed me from the very first page. I read it in a single sitting.”

” I am just amazed by this book.” DiverseReader’s review of Smoky Mountain Dreams #gay #romance #amreading

December 18, 2014 by Leta

“Brilliant! The love I have for this story is gigantic. Right from the start I was pulled in. Christopher broke my heart. Tore it to shreds, then dipped it into lemon juice. Then he met broken Jesse. They pulled through all the darkness because they had each other. They experienced loss and they are true fighters. I loved how Leta Blake took all these avenues and placed them perfectly so when they met it was a smooth road in the end. There are always battles, whether it be not only falling in love with someone but falling in love with their kids, or realizing the road to forever is paved in shards of glass only true love can heal. I am just amazed by this book.”

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.
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.
