Ryan Lee is a hot mess.

In another lifetime, Ryan had it all. He was a child star in one of the biggest sitcoms on the planet. Now he’s an adult, unemployed, and a poster child for bad decisions. Okay, so he hasn’t robbed a convenience store yet, but only because he’s always either too high or too hungover. When the opportunity to film a reunion show comes up, Ryan jumps at the chance. He needs the money, but more than that, it might be what he needs to drag his career—and himself—out of the gutter.

Except seeing his former onscreen family again means seeing Chase Ellis—the guy who destroyed Ryan’s career by leaving the show, and the first boy Ryan ever kissed. Back when Ryan believed in fairy tales, he thought he was in love with Chase, and the reunion brings all those old feelings racing back. But it drags up old secrets too. Ryan is about to learn that when it comes to Hollywood, the only happy endings are the ones that take place on screen.

Then again, maybe it isn’t a happy ending Ryan needs. Maybe it’s a new beginning.

Washed Up Former Child Star Ryan Lee is a stand-alone contemporary m/m second-chance romance.

Ryan, a former child star of a family sitcom, is now an adult with no adulting experience. He is unemployed and out of money. He’s reached rock-bottom with drug and alcohol problems and has no direction in life. Because he needs the money, he agrees to join his fellow former cast members in a reunion show. What will happen when he runs into his former crush from the show?

This was a very well written book. It was entertaining though difficult to hear Ryan’s rock bottom. There is a repeating theme in the book where Ryan hears an imaginary over-the-top announcer announcing his bad decisions. This part, in itself, was perfect for narrator, Gary, as he does a great “movie announcer” voice. He was perfectly cast for this book.

Rock bottom can have a happy ending
