Not Used To Cute by Becca Seymour

 

"Great storyline, cute and very sweet..." - Goodreads Review

A bar owner who’s not looking for a relationship. A lost soul who’s afraid to trust. When Elijah and Seb meet, sparks fly. But will either of them find the courage to take what they want?

Pouring his all into his business, Elijah is perfectly content running his bar. With its prime location and its infamous drag shows, Bar QK is the place to be. Elijah is used to meeting new and sometimes interesting people, but it’s rare anyone catches his interest for anything longer than a five-minute conversation.

It takes a wandering, unfiltered surfer, who’s tired of the chase and dog-tired of people taking advantage of him, to spark long-buried interest in Elijah.

While kindness runs through his veins, Seb doesn’t believe in fairy tales. He has a past he’d rather forget and has no real expectations for his future. He believes it’s safer to not make assumptions about anything or anyone; that way, he’ll remain safe.

It takes his elusive, aloof boss, whose mixed messages are more confusing than Ikea furniture instructions, to show Seb that opening his heart can be worth the risk.

When Elijah and Seb find themselves working on a common goal, the high stakes may be just the nudge they need.

Review

Rating: ☆☆☆☆

Such a cute and sweet read but don't be fooled - the heat levels are off the charts between these two.

Two men reluctant for love. Two men who are opposites find themselves wanting to break their rule for the other.

Bar owner Elijah knows the instant he sees Seb that he wants him. Seb is not his usual type. He is awkward, shy, cute and sexy. All of which bring out Elijah's protective side and has him keeping Seb close. However, just because he wants Seb doesn't mean that it is plain sailing as Elijah struggles with these new emotions and results in some not so stellar behaviour.

Seb is cautious about his attraction towards Elijah, having had some bad experiences with relationships previously. The confident and protective character of Elijah can be overwhelming and confusing, especially with the push and pull from Elijah.

Their growing relationship was cute to witness and there were plenty of swoon worthy moments throughout that will bring a smile and bring the warm and fuzzies. However, this book was not all flowers and chocolates as it is set against a backdrop of homophobia that should not exist but with regret does. This brought an added dimension to this read: one that reminds us all that there is still a way to go before full acceptance of love means love, no matter what form it comes in. A sobering reminder.
