Like bros do.

I’ve wanted my roommate, Oliver, since the day we moved in together five years ago. There’s just one problem: I’ve never been in a relationship with a man before. And I don’t know if Oliver is into men… or anyone other than his microscope. And I’ve been doing everything I can to not think about it. Okay, three problems, but who’s counting?

But when our sweet-but-nosy landlady forces a copy of the Five Love Languages on me, the sight of the book sends Oliver into some kind of dark mood. I’m skeptical about the whole love language thing, but my curiosity gets the better of me: What is Oliver’s love language, and why won’t he talk about it?

If I want to find out, I'll just have to take a leaf from Oliver’s book and perform a science experiment of my own. I'll try showing him how I feel using all five love languages, record the results... and hope that by the end of our upcoming Friendsgiving gathering, I’ll have something new to be thankful for.

Speak My Language is a 15,000-word low angst M/M romantic novella featuring cozy fall vibes, unexpected birds, roommates-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers, a feastworthy Thanksgiving meal, and a super steamy and romantic first time. All books in the Slow Burn Holidays series can be read as standalones and in any order.
