About this eBook

From the acclaimed author of BOYFRIEND MATERIAL and HUSBAND MATERIAL comes a deeply emotional romance about finding love when (and where) you least expect it.

Laurence Dalziel is worn down and washed up, and for him, the Scene is all played out. Six years from his last meaningful relationship, he's pushing forty and tired of pretending nothing has changed. Then he meets Toby Finch. Young. Fearless, fierce, and vulnerable. Everything Laurie can't remember being.

Toby doesn't know who he wants to be or what he wants to do, but he knows that he wants Laurie. The problem is, while Laurie will surrender his body, he won't surrender his heart. Because Toby is too young, too intense, too easy to hurt. And what they have—no matter how right it feels—can't last. It can't mean anything.

It can't be real.

This dynamic, emotional LGBTQIA+ romance contains never-before-seen content and exclusive bonus material.

For Real by Alexis Hall is definitely the most unique BDSM MM romance I have read and it is because of the rom com side. Toby and Laurie's age gap MM romance was wickedly sexy..spicier than I expected this to be. They both have imperfect and very real personality. Their dynamics was built up slowly.It's grumpy sunshine trope and Toby made me laugh and fall for him easier than Laurie. It was a cute romance with well balanced heavy moments. ( reviewed early copy voluntarily)

The BDSM is very full-on, and yet is so much more real-life than FSoG and that ilk. There's laughter, and cuddling, and not being able to tie knots, and being taught how to use a flogger. There's tears, and an age-gap romance and best of all, no easy solutions. I just loved this, Alexis writes such different characters in each of his books, great to see a glimpse of Edwin, although I didn't recognise him at the time. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.
