Moment Of Fate by Karen Stivali

By
Bryan Dane’s been living the dream—photography student by day, up-and-coming rocker by night. His summer goals are to earn his last few credits, graduate from NYU, spend as much time in the recording studio as possible, and survive the next few months without sex so he can complete his yearlong goal of self-imposed celibacy. Everything is on track, until he meets Oliver Newcastle.
For years Oliver planned a marriage of convenience with his high school BFF, but now that she’s fallen in love for real, with someone else, it’s no longer convenient. So Oliver came out to his family, quit his job, and left small-town New England for NYC, an intensive summer study program, and a chance to find his own happiness.
From the moment they meet the sexual tension between Bryan and Oliver sizzles. But Bryan wants no part of a relationship, and Oliver wants to sew his wild oats—he just isn’t sure how. Oliver seeks Bryan’s help navigating the NYC gay scene, which throws them together in increasingly more sexual situations until they can no longer deny they're hot for each other. Bryan is desperate to keep things simple, but fate might have other plans. 

United Indie Book Blog Review

Reviewer: Ann
Rating: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this m/m love story. It was well written and had a good flow to it. The characters were developed well over time, giving the reader a keen insight into the fears and trepidation of venturing into a committed relationship for both men. Bryan is a hot rock, photography graduate student. Oliver is a just coming out of the closet writing graduate student from New Hampshire living in New York City. I like that they developed a great friendship first. The sex scenes are definitely hot!
