Strange Lad (Dreadful Boys Book 2)
Myka Loren
I never meant to keep this secret for so long. I also never meant for this secret to twist and bend into something…more. Suffering from an insatiable hero complex has been a real issue, which might explain my need to keep Oli close. It might explain why I wanted nothing more than to help him. What it doesn’t explain is my attraction, which grows more with every day that passes. Being his friend has made me question everything about myself whilst simultaneously opening my eyes to the beautiful heart he hides behind layers of impenetrable armor. I should put a stop to it all. I should come clean. Every moment we spend together puts my band and friendships at risk. That’s what happens when you walk hand in hand with a strange lad… You never want to let go.Strange Lad is an MM romance intended for an 18+ audience. Content Warnings to be advised and can be found in the front matter of the book.

ARC REVIEW:
Strange Lad is the continuation of Beneath Cherry Blossom Memories and is the story about Oli and Jorge.
While Phoenix and Eli’s story was full of angst and toxicity, Oli and Jorge’s story is the opposite and much more sweeter and light, however it still has heavy themes in this books because it’s about Oli’s trauma.
I love Phoenix and Eli so much but I was so excited for Oli and Jorge’s story. Their love is so tender and precious. Their relationship is sweet and kind. Oli has been in love with his brother’s best friend for 12 years but something traumatic stopped him from ever acknowledging those feelings. When Jorge decides to help Oli through his trauma they developed a friendship and feelings.
I love how they talk to each other and help each other and how they want to understand each other and be patient.
Jorge is the sweetest person. All he ever wants is to be needed by the people he loves the most in his life. He loves connections and I love how he is not afraid of showing emotion and physical touch.
My heart broke for Oli and I’m so glad he had Jorge there to help him and be there for him.
Overall, Oli and Jorge’s story was so beautiful, sweet and heartwarming. Both of them are so sweet and precious. If you love the brother’s best friend trope and hurt comfort then you will like this book. However you need to read book one first and this book discusses very heavy topics so make sure to check the trigger warnings. Thank you to the author for sending me an ARC to read and review.
