My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Rory is a Drag Queen known as Bubblegum Galaxy and during a drag brunch there is an accident and she catches a server which results in a pitcher of Sex on the Beach landing in rugby player West's lap. He finds her online and invites Rory out for drinks. Falling into Bed with West is not hard but balancing a full-time rugby player boyfriend, a full-time job as an electrician and evenings in drag is harder than walking in eight-inch heels. When participation in a local drag story hour draws the ire of certain locals it feels like everything might fall apart. West doesn’t understand why Rory won’t step down, but he's never been afraid of being himself. He needs West to stand beside him because he is the only man who loved him as both Rory and Bubblegum Galaxy, and he won’t let that slip away.
I loved this story. It had prejudice, abuse, bad language and threats of violence all mixed in with the need to be yourself and not be afraid to call out anything abusive or threatening. I loved the relationship between West and Rory and how even when they had a slight hiccup they were able to move past it and support each other. Their love was definitely something for the long haul. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content, some bad language and some threats of a homophobic nature.
