Next review this week is the aptly named “Rom-Com for Dummies” by Tom Diggs. #MMRomance #GayBookReviews

Gabe is the head writer for a long-running television soap opera. It’s a demanding job that doesn’t leave any time for relationships. What nobody knows is that the secret to Gabe’s continued success at coming up with story lines is his weekly calls to his mother in the small upstate New York town where he grew up. She fills him in on all the local gossip and Gabe transforms it into clever plots for the show. When Gabe’s mother dies unexpectedly, it turns his life upside down. It’s not just a personal loss, it could be career ending. Gabe returns to his home town to deal with his mother’s funeral and estate. While there, Gabe meets Owen, a handsome man from the city trying to become a gentleman farmer. There’s a strong attraction between the two, but there are a lot of issues that might keep them apart.
