I would describe Not Until Noah as the quintessential 2020s romance novel - not too light, not to dark, a mix of drama and romantic comedy. Joyful/sad. Follows a conventional story arc but the devices, trope, etc are artfully blended to disguise these conventions sufficiently that you are not conscious of being manipulated.

The trope here is celebrity meets nobody, and celebrity who wants to be seen for himself falls for the guy who is an innocent in the world. Noah isn't out for what he can get from the famous person - not a bit.

I loved it from the get-go and if anything the novel at 7.33 hrs was too short and I found myself hoping there was a sequel for these two - but I don't believe there is.

Actor Carter being closeted made me wonder if in 10 years? 20 years? we'll read these novels that revolve around the angst of "being closeted" and find them boring and dated! If so, it will be a better world by far.

I feel sure I've read more than 2 Lisa Henry novels, but my records show otherwise. She's written 83 novels across several genres.

The premise of this series seems like it shouldn’t work (I mean inclusive queer-friendly frats are likely a pipe dream fantasy), but this was seriously a fantastic read. I think the single POV especially worked here (they only have the other POV in the epilogue), and as a reader I fell for Marty just as Dalton did. These two were absolutely great together, and this had a lot of humor and heart to it.

Possible Trigger Warnings: Depression, Physical & Emotional Violence
Daniel Whitlock had been a sleepwalker since he was a boy. He would walk and talk like he was awake, but he is actually asleep. He never remembers anything he does during these episodes, and it has gotten him in a plethora of various troubles over the years. During one of his sleepwalks he made a questionable comment to another man in the town, Kenny Cooper. Kenny attacks Daniel at a later date when Daniel is awake, and brutally beats him nearly to death. No charges are filed even though “everyone” knows Kenny and his friends were responsible. another night while sleepwalking he sets fire to Kenny’s house with Kenny still inside causing Kenny's death. The story takes place several years after this event occurred. Daniel went to prison despite his defense lawyer arguing he was sleepwalking. He's not popular in the small town as everyone feels he got off too easy and thinks the sleepwalking is fabricated. He's shunned as the town freak...his friends (?) harass him...and Daniel hides, alone in his cabin. Do you wonder that Daniel is depressed? Daniel can no longer trust himself to sleep...he fears it like the plague and feels that he'll be trapped, and when his body and brain win out and he does fall asleep, he again sleepwalks to the extent that he, in desperation, chains himself to his bed. The narrow-minded people in the town, including Daniel’s parents frustrated me. So much kept happening to Daniel even though he tried so hard to stay out of trouble. Then we, and Daniel meets Bel who comes rolling into Daniels life and becomes his rock, his mainstay, his friend...his only friend...and maybe his lover as Daniel and Bel tries to start a relationship. It’s hard, especially for Bel, to know that their relationship has some really hard boundaries. Bel isn't entirely convinced that Daniel is truly sleepwalking in the beginning, but the more he sees, the more he believes. Daniel behaves like another person when he's walking in his sleep; he becomes bolder, and much more seductive. Bel knows before they can begin to have a true relationship, he first has to do something about Daniel destructive thoughts of wanting to punish himself for what he has done. I felt so sorry for Daniel and absolutely loved Bel. The audio is done by Greg Tremblay who is one of my favorites. His narration of this book is nothing short fantastic, making the story, and the character come alive. He makes you can feel how the characters feel, their desperation, their frustration, and their love and relief. The story will leave you drained, for lack of a better description...but at the same time you won't allow yourself to stop until you know every last detail.… (meer)

Coincidentally, I've read another novel recently whose main character was demi-sexual, such an interesting concept, and brought to life beautifully here.

Xander is a professional sportsman not much distracted by relationships or casual sex. Then he meets Ollie whose life is about as far from Xander's life as you can get - he's poor, he's a student struggling to get his degree, he's battered by fate. But he will try as hard as he can to graduate as a physical therapist, because he is good at it and he wants to achieve what he can in life.

When they meet, Ollie is a massage therapist who really makes a difference to Xander's post accident pain - he fell off a ladder. Yet in his work life, Xander participates in one of the most dangerous sports, MotoGP, where he is at the top of international competition.

Ollie imagines a fling with Xander, as far fetched as it would seem. But Xander becomes hooked on Ollie, the person. Ollie brings a larger than life, vibrant and caring persona into Xander's rather isolated and lonely life. It's moving and tender and elevating, this love affair.

This is one of those books where two people, who magically are just right for each other, they find each other when only each will do for the other ... how does this happen?! It's supernaturally incredible and the greatest gift.
