Review: Sticking to the Script - Stella Weaver
Review: Sticking to the Script - Book #2 Cipher Office Series - Stella Weaver - October 2019
I have been enjoying the
books released by the Smartypants Romance series as it gives me a chance to
read a book I know will be awesome but also to be reunited with favorite past
characters. I had enjoyed Book #1 in the Cipher Office series which was Carlos
and Rian's story - which we do get to see glimpses of the duo in Book #2.
Book #2 Sticking to the Script is Steven's story, he works as a VP of Financial
Operations for the Cipher Office team and we learn he is also gay. He also doesn't
have the best taste in men and seems to attract the crazies of the gay world
especially King who has a sexual kink of licking armpits and becomes Steven's
stalker throughout the whole book. While accompanying his friend Elizabeth (
she features in the Knitting in the City series) at a work colleague's farewell
as she is a Doctor, he meets Dr Ken Miles aka DKM. There is something about him
that doesn't sit right with Steven and he becomes curious. The pair start
a friendship and we learn that DKM is, in fact, bisexual and has feelings for
Steven, however Steven is oblivious for quite a huge chunk of the book and
thinks Ken is straight and just wants a friend. I don't normally enjoy reading
M/M books but found this one really easy to read and the author had included
lots of gay characters but yet it didn't feel in your face or forced. I really
liked the characters of Steven and DKM as you could tell they were both genuinely
nice people and that Ken was an awkward character. Later too when Ken came out
to his family, they had good chemistry and you could tell all the characters in
this story were good people except King of course - he was a grade-A -
Jerkface. It was also good reading this book and being reunited with favorite
characters and seeing the birth of Quinn and Janie Sullivan's baby and Kat's
lead-up to her wedding with Dan which those who have read the Knitting in the
City books will remember the full story. I am now looking forward to
reading the other books published by Smartypants Romance.
