Book Synopsis
Miles "Rooster" Johnson: As a young single-dad with a teaching job, I haven't had much opportunity to date. My son is my entire world, and though I would love to have a partner and someone to count on, the passing years have shown that it's just not in the cards for me. So when the gorgeous lumberjack of a man-the same man that I've had a massive crush on since the moment we became neighbors-suddenly asks me out on a date, I'm completely blindsided. Trent could have anyone he wants. He's charming, flirtatious, and outgoing-the exact opposite of my awkward, anxious self. I don't know what he sees in me. All I know for sure is that I absolutely need to make this date go well.
Trent Montgomery: I know I have a playboy reputation in our small town, but there's nothing wrong with playing the field. It's worked for me so far, even if I have felt some discontent lately. My mama thinks I need to settle down and find someone nice. But she doesn't understand that I'm just not ready. No matter how beautiful and tempting my neighbor Rooster is or how eager I am to get the silent mountain of a man to open up-no matter how adorable his little boy is, even when he's threatening me at bat-point to take his daddy out on a date-I know I can't be everything that they need. I agreed to ask Rooster out, but I think maybe I made a big mistake. All I know for sure is that I absolutely need to sabotage this date.
You Can Count On Me is a standalone slow burn Holiday MM romance with high heat, a HEA, and no cliffhangers. With a blossoming friends-to-lovers romance between a single father and his adorably flirty neighbor, together these two are warm, young, and tooth-achingly sweet. If you like funny stories with too many dad jokes, holiday magic, positive mental health rep, primal play, graphic steam, and the slowest, sweetest of all burns then read on!
Review Quotes
Fae has once again, spun her magic. GAHHHHH THESE BOYSSSSSS. Ok, ok, ok. Deep breath... Rooster is a sweet baby Angel that deserves all the love in the world. And when I say all the love in the world, I mean just that. I could just cry right now thinking of how ridiculously sweet he is 😭😭😭😍😍😍. Trent has a good heart, a flirty smile, and a fun-loving mind! He is ALSO a sweet baby Angel! The story gets you into both of their minds and hearts. Honestly, there is no better place to be. If I could just pack up all my things, and live in the hearts of Rooster and Trent, I heckin WOULD. Seriously, what a beautiful and fitting continuation in the world of Let Your Hearts be Light! Now let's talk about our littlest sweet baby Angel, Bubba. Like... STAHP. He is the most emotionally mature child, sneaky, and plotting, but for all the right reasons! I adored his snark and think he adds so much to the story. I read this entire thing from start to finish with a HUGE smile on my face, and several squeals and incoherent screeches! It's the way I handle my cute aggression. If I could turn back time, I would read this book again for the first time. I cannot WAIT for what's nexttt!!! - Reviewer
Miles is so freaking relatable with his anxiety. He is so sweet and I love him so much. Trent is so protective and a flirting genius! Bubba, that kid is adorable and so so sassy. The three of them together? Amazing! One thing I love about Fae's writing and story telling is that she can make you fall in love with the characters so quickly. Like one chapter they're strangers and the next they're family. - Reviewer
