Title: A Kind Of Truth (A Kind Of Stories #1) Author: Lane Hayes Main Characters: Rand O’Malley & Will Sanders Genre: Romance & Music Length: 230 pages Publisher: Dreamspinner Press Date of Publication: January 8th 2016 Story: Rand O’Malley dreams of superstardom. He hopes to one day sing the blues like a rock god. Moving to New York City and hiring a new manager are steps to make his dreams a reality. But nothing moves as fast as Rand would like, and everyone has opinions, which include he keep certain pieces of himself quiet if he plans on making it in the Big Apple. Like his bisexuality. Will Sanders is a gifted musician who dazzles Rand with his ability to coax gorgeous notes from an electric guitar one moment and play the piano like a professional the next. He’s a geek, but Rand isn’t concerned about Will’s pressed exterior clashing with his tattoos. His focus is music. Yet there’s something about Will that makes Rand think there’s much more to the quiet college student than he lets on. As Rand’s dreams begin to materialize, he’s forced to reconsider his priorities and find his own kind of truth. One that might include Will. Review: Rand is basically a slowly rising superstar. With his blues band up and performing a couple of gigs around New York city he could feel that it was only a matter of time until a legit recording company spots them and gives them the dream they longed for. But in the meantime, him and his band is settled on practicing and performing whenever they can. It’s not what Rand had dreamed of just yet and with the stardom of the band on the line, he agreed to hide his bisexuality from the world. However, his cute shy nerdy guitar teacher is making it rather difficult for him to hide it. Will is a college student majoring in music and in the sideline, he tutors and gives guitar lessons to earn money on the side. Student loans and other things have kept Will in debt but he is willing to do anything to finish his studies. He has secrets of his own, a whole other side of him he has kept hidden. He was fine with that until Rand slowly, slowly helped him come out of his shell and realize that maybe the hidden him was the real him all along. This story was simply sweet and lovely. I couldn’t help but fall for Rand and his laid back and fun personality. He was the type of guy you’d want to get close to I guarantee and the way he showed his affection and attraction towards Will was so delicately written. Their interactions and dialogues with each other were flowy, light and so natural that it was obvious that they were meant to be. But of course, it wasn’t going to be that easy. A lot of things happened in the story that were a bump to Will and Rand’s growing relationship that made me feel from happy and giddy to angry and irritated. And just the fact that I was so into the story proves how good this book really was. Despite the lightness at the beginning, their story really picked up mid-story all the way to the end and it never became dull at all. Plus, there were a lot of points in the story that left a good mark on my mind and I really appreciated that. Not every book can do that for me and yet this one did. I guess I really did liked this book. Favorite Line: “Honesty isn’t always pleasant, but it’s better than ignorance.” |
