Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Best Selling Author Randy Reid"Shh, It's A Gay Novel!" is a witty, meta-fictional romance that follows Leo, a cynical librarian who finds himself literally trapped inside the pages of a poorly-written gay romance novel. After a disastrous real-world date, Leo falls asleep critiquing the cliche-ridden bestseller The Billionaire's Forbidden Promise and awakens as its main character, Kieran, at a lavish charity gala. Now face-to-face with the brooding, archetypal billionaire Grayson St. John, Leo realizes he must navigate a world governed by hackneyed tropes-forced proximity, only one bed, and a sinister rival named Chad.Refusing to play along with the predictable plot, Leo rebels. He recruits the novel's self-aware "sassy best friend," Maggie, and attempts to hack the story from within, introducing unsexy subplots like a fake environmental scandal. To his shock, Grayson begins to glitch out of his own characterization, revealing a man yearning for authenticity beneath the scripted dialogue. What begins as a survival strategy transforms into a collaborative, genre-bending conspiracy and a surprisingly genuine connection.As Leo and Grayson work to rewrite their own narrative, they must outsmart the intrusive, romance-novel narration and survive the story's relentless push toward a mandatory Third Act Breakup. A satirical love letter to and critique of its own genre, this novel asks: can you find a real happy ever after when you're stuck in a bad one? Full of laugh-out-loud commentary, heartfelt moments, and clever subversions, "Shh, It's A Gay Novel!" is a celebration of queer love that champions messy, authentic connection over perfect, pre-packaged fantasy.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - What happens when the man of God can no longer hide from the man within Father Thomas Armitage has devoted his life to the Church - to prayer, service, and the quiet duty of shepherding others through life's darkest hours. In the stone silence of St. Michael and All Angels, he is respected, trusted, and admired. To his congregation, he is a steady presence of compassion and certainty. To the dying, he is a comfort. To the grieving, a guide.But behind the collar, Thomas carries a secret he has buried for more than a decade.When a parishioner's death stirs memories he has long suppressed, the careful geometry of his life begins to fracture. A chance discovery - a book of poems written by the man he once loved - forces him to confront a truth he believed he had sacrificed for God. Benjamin Cole was not supposed to matter anymore. That chapter was closed, sealed beneath vows of celibacy and years of self-denial.Yet the past has a way of finding the cracks in even the strongest faith.As Thomas struggles to reconcile his devotion to the Church with the reality of who he is, his internal conflict deepens. His loneliness grows heavier. His prayers feel unanswered. And the life he has built - orderly, disciplined, safe - begins to feel less like a calling and more like a prison.When a young parishioner confesses his own struggle with faith and sexuality, Thomas faces an impossible choice: repeat the safe doctrine he has always upheld, or speak a truth that could shatter everything. In offering compassion to another, he risks exposing the truth about himself - a truth that could cost him his vocation, his community, and the identity he has clung to for years.And then, after twelve years of silence, Thomas does the unthinkable.He reaches out to Ben.What follows is a journey of reckoning, courage, and grace - a deeply human exploration of love, faith, identity, and the cost of living a life divided against itself. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of contemporary London, The Gay Priestis a tender, unflinching portrait of a man standing at the crossroads between duty and authenticity.This is not a story about abandoning faith - it is a story about discovering whether faith can survive honesty.Perfect for readers of literary fiction, LGBTQ+ drama, and emotionally powerful character-driven novels, this book explores questions that resonate far beyond the walls of the Church: - Can love and faith coexist when doctrine says otherwise - What is the true meaning of sacrifice - How long can a person live as half of themselves before something breaks - And is it ever too late to come home to who you really are Poignant, intimate, and profoundly moving, The Gay Priest speaks to anyone who has ever felt torn between who they are and who they believe they are supposed to be.Because sometimes the holiest act is not self-denial - but truth.…
