Loved this. Nash is my favourite character. I adored him. ( )

This series has been great. The characters are interesting and well-written; even the side characters have their own storylines and personalities that are authentic. The books are fun, short, and romantic - I really can't get enough of Bluewater Bay.

Local mechanic Nash meets the successful Brit, Spencer, who is basically passing through town as a recurring character on the TV show filmed in Bluewater Bay. Nash really seems to have his head on straight and is good at giving advice to Spencer, who is in the middle of a very public breakup and nursing a broken heart. They start a bit of a fling and it makes them both rethink what they really want out of life. I feel like these characters may pop up in future books in this series, though in this one we only got a brief mention of a townsperson we met in a previous book.

Finished this book in a few hours and looking forward to the next one, though I think it's out of print and may be tough to track down. ( )

Let's discuss how I adore the Bluewater Bay series. It's m/m romance set in a small Pacific Northwest town where a genre TV show based on a book series films. The characters are a great mix of cast, crew, and townie (including a few loggers). This is a town I'd like to visit, and it's definitely a TV show I'd watch and series I would read. The books are on the whole funny and sweet, with realistic problems and solutions.

In Hell on Wheels (Bluewater Bay #3) Spencer and Nash are both having hard times. Spencer's involved in a scandalous divorce, his husband having left him for a woman, and Nash is the responsible family member, caring for his disabled sister and wacky father. Their first meeting ends in great car sex, and they decide that's just the relationship they need. Then Spencer gets close to Nash's family, especially his sister the Wolf's Landing fan who was delighted to meet her actor idol. Spencer's still tangled up with his ex, maybe afraid of committing again, and Nash is afraid Spencer's inevitable leaving will destroy his sister.

Great characters in this book. Nash's dad invents all sorts of "seen on TV" items, his sister is trying out her independence while chafing against her disability and against her family's protectiveness. And Spencer and Nash are so great.

Yeah, I love this series.

Great contemporary romance. ( )
