Blog Tour & Excerpt:
Not A Boy
By Elle Keaton
All American Boy Series, Book 9
Henry should have kept on walking by when he spotted the younger man sitting alone on the beach. He should never have stopped, never sat down, and certainly never kissed him. Because now Henry is experiencing feelings. And he doesn’t like it one bit.
Things happen for a reason, even random hook-ups. Ben was supposed to get off work early that night. It was no accident the sexy stranger stumbled on his beach hiding spot. The Kiss was destined, as well as what happened afterward. It wasn’t as if Ben believed in love at first sight, but this was damn close.
It’s a good thing Henry lives three-thousand miles away or he might do something stupid, like ask for Ben’s phone number.
Ben’s hometown boss begs him to return and he agrees, only regretting not being able to say goodbye to his snarky divorce lawyer. But all the wanting in the universe isn’t going to bring them together again, he doesn’t even know Henry’s last name. Besides, home is on the west coast, not Maine.
Sometimes the universe is a funny place.

Excerpt:
“Would you like to join me?” The young man waggled the bottle of wine he held in his hand—white, it looked like.
He shouldn’t. Henry knew he shouldn’t. He should keep walking back to the bed and breakfast where he was staying. The one he and his parents had always stayed in when they visited. And yet, without conscious thought, Henry found himself accepting the invitation and lowering himself down onto the sand and rocks, next to the handsome, faintly roguish-looking stranger.
“Sorry, I only have one cup. My name’s Ben, by the way.”
“Hi, Ben-by-the-way, my name’s Henry.” Henry took the bottle from Ben.
Lifting his wine, Ben said, “A toast. To sunsets, and smart asses.”
This is totally a wonderful read. It's one of those books where I felt as if I belonged, the feels were gorgeous.
Ben met Henry by chance for one night, the next morning Ben has been called away, Henry is devastated but life goes on, even though it hurts.
From the first meeting together, there was a connection and a huge temptation to have more.
All this time they had each other on their minds, completely smitten with the thought of seeing each other again but knowing probably wouldn’t be possible.
When a second chance meeting occurs, they can’t believe it!
Their feelings for each other have grown stronger and trying to leave each other alone isn’t possible.
A defence lawyer, an independent guy who knows what he wants, an angry father / work partner plus an age difference which didn’t matter at all.
I adored the story, the writing flowed, wonderful characters that made everything real.
