#RainbowSnippets March 17

Rainbow Snippets is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week to share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation (snippets are 6 sentences long–one for each colour in the Pride flag). You can find all the snippets by clicking here.

The snippet this week is from Boy Banned (picked by Rachel as RJ is off swanning it in the States 😉 )

He slipped off his worn black jacket and the dark T-shirt, so worn in places that it was gray.

Angel was stunned. Under those clothes there wasn’t a spare ounce of skin that wasn’t covered in gorgeous muscles. He was sex on legs, and Angel had to roll his tongue back in his mouth. He couldn’t watch Corey pull on the shirt. And hell, he could not crush on a guy who wasn’t pinging his gaydar.

The Book – OUT NOW

When the only way to win is to hide who you are, how far are you prepared to go?

Reuben “Angel” Jacobs is one step away from giving it all up. Losing a place in the live finals of Sing UK almost kills him. He has no choice but to go home and work for the family business, even though it means giving up his dreams and proving his old bullies right.

Corey Dixon is a rocker at heart. Being on the spectrum means that making sense of other people’s ‘normal’ is hard in itself, let alone in the chaos of a high-powered competition. Singing is his safe space, the only way he can think through the noise in his head. Messing up his audition for the live shows means his journey is over, and it’s the worst day of his life.

The judges throw them a lifeline and create a boy band from the near-miss hopefuls. Angel, Corey, and three others are put together in a room and offered the chance to sing as a group. Agreeing to become part of the new band means Corey has to hide who he is and what Angel has come to mean to him.

Is winning worth the price Corey and Angel have to pay?
