The Lights on Knockbridge Lane
The Lights on Knockbridge Lane | Roan Parrish
6 posts | 10 read | 3 to read
Can one man's crowded, messy life fill another man's empty heart? Raising a family was always Adam Mills' dream, although solo parenting and moving back to tiny Garnet Run certainly were not. After a messy breakup, Adam is doing his best to give his young daughter the life she deserves--including accepting help from their new, reclusive neighbor to fulfill her Christmas wish. Though the little house may not have "the most lights ever," the Mills home begins to brighten as handsome Wes Mobray spends more time there and slowly sheds his protective layers. But when the eye-catching house ends up in the news, Wes has to make a choice: hide from the darkness of his unusual past or embrace the light of a future--and a family--with Adam. From Harlequin Special Edition: Believe in love. Overcome obstacles. Find happiness. Garnet Run Book 1: Better Than People Book 2: Best Laid Plans

Just finished listening to this m/m romance on Libby this morning. It‘s a Christmas 🎄 love story. Adam and his daughter have moved to a small town after a bad breakup. Wes is the mysterious man next door. Well the plot is pretty predictable but the feelings and language are modern and fresh. Wear you headphones this is Harlequin and there are sex scenes. I loved the inclusivity and representation offered within the familiar Harlequin storyline.

Another really cute Christmas romance from Roan Parish that I actually enjoyed even more than The Holiday Trap. A single father meets the grumpy recluse next door after his daughter breaks into his house to meet his reptiles. Soon, he becomes an integral part of their lives and begins to venture back out in the world. Super sweet and adorable.

Another sweet romance set in Garnet Run. Adam has just moved to town with his daughter August after breaking up with his partner. Gus takes an interest in recluse neighbor Wes who usually doesn't leave his house bc of some past trauma but is slowly brought out of his comfort zone as he helps Adam and his daughter decorate their house with Christmas lights. Apparently I'm reading this series backwards (I've read the 4th and this is the 3rd 😅)

I couldn‘t fit THE LIGHTS ON KNOCKBRIDGE LANE in last year, so I made sure to budget some time for it this year. So far, it‘s totally lovely—and such a quick read compared to the 700-pager I finished earlier today. I‘m gonna settle in beside my tree and see how far into it I get before I‘m too tired to go on.

@Jas16 Thank you so much for the gifts. Missing is the big bag of kisses I snacked on while I read the tagged book. It‘s the Gay Xmas romance I didn‘t know my dark, dark, horror heart needed. Adam and his daughter, Gus move to Garnet Run, WY after Adam‘s partner realized he didn‘t want to be a parent. They move to Knockbridge Lane where hot, scientist recluse Wes has been living. This was lovely and had some very real human lessons to impart.👇🏼

Reggie To paraphrase a certain Dr, I really felt my heart had grown 3 sizes by the end of it all. Thanks again, Jennifer. My romantsy North Star. Merry Christmas! 2y
Jas16 Happy Holidays Reggie! I always love shopping for you because you are awesome and because no one else I know will read the romances I recommend! 2y

Ruthiella Your “dark, dark, horror heart”! 😂 2y
Centique We love your “dark, dark, horror heart” 😂💕💕 2y
Reggie @Christy2318 I love when Gus tells Wes off and he is just in awe of what she can do at her age that most adults still can‘t do. She was just such a hoot. A great character. I loved everyone in here. I totally thought the tension was gonna come from Mason coming back into town saying he wants to be back with Adam and Gus. Totally wrong! Lol 2y
Christy2318 @Reggie Yes I adored Gus & I really liked that the conflict was all internal. Having their insecurities drive the tension made the romance much more realistic. (edited) 2y

The first #Harlequin category #romansty to include a same sex couple. I bought at Walmart because I wanted to support the diversity. Category books don‘t stay in store long but you can still get in ebook or paperback on Amazon. This was delightful. Adam & Wes are quirky and vulnerable in ways that compliment each other & Adam‘s daughter, Gus, is believably precocious. It‘s just lovely. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
