Paris Daillencourt Is About to Crumble
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Gay Romance · RomCom
Our take
Paris Daillencourt Is About to Crumble centers on the quiet pressure of self-doubt and the fear of being seen. Thrust onto a televised baking competition, Paris finds unexpected connection alongside public scrutiny that amplifies his worst anxieties. As confidence and romance develop unevenly, the novel explores vulnerability, internalized shame, and the emotional cost of believing you must earn your own worth.
Choose your retailer
About the book
From the bestselling author of Boyfriend Material comes a sweet and scrumptious romantic comedy about facing your insecurities, finding love, and baking it off, no matter what people say.
Paris Daillencourt is a recipe for disaster. Despite his passion for baking, his cat, and his classics degree, constant self-doubt and second-guessing have left him a curdled, directionless mess. So when his roommate enters him in Bake Expectations, the nation’s favourite baking show, Paris is sure he’ll be the first one sent home.
But not only does he win week one’s challenge—he meets fellow contestant Tariq Hassan. Sure, he’s the competition, but he’s also cute and kind, with more confidence than Paris could ever hope to have. Still, neither his growing romance with Tariq nor his own impressive bakes can keep Paris’s fear of failure from spoiling his happiness. And when the show’s vicious fanbase confirms his worst anxieties, Paris’s confidence is torn apart quicker than tear-and-share bread.
But if Paris can find the strength to face his past, his future, and the chorus of hecklers that live in his brain, he’ll realize it’s the sweet things in life that he really deserves.

About the book
In a game defined by rules, will they dare to change the play?
Ever heard of a guy who’s nice, funny, cooks like a chef, boasts a six-pack, and is the best player in the NHL?
Well, let me introduce you to Aaron Miles—AKA the biggest test of my self-control.
Aaron and I have been friends since sixth grade, sharing everything from school and vacation to helping me start my business. But one thing I did on my own: falling in love with him.
It’s hopeless. He’s already rejected me once, and besides, as the coach’s daughter, I’m off-limits to everyone on the team, especially Aaron, who has a father-son relationship with my dad.
Yet, the more I try to suppress my feelings, the deeper my attraction grows. It’s hard to resist when he plans the best surprise birthdays and drops everything to be there for me. Oh, and did I mention we’re roommates? And that he loves parading around the apartment with his abs on display?
Yeah, I’m doomed.
Stick To Me is a closed door friends to lovers romcom between a hot headed hockey player and the coach’s daughter.
Follow the men of the New York Raptors NHL franchise as they chase professional success and the women who will melt their heart.

Our take
A reality dating show producer and his awkward star find love where the cameras aren’t looking.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Dev Deshpande makes fairy tales for a living. As the star producer of Ever After, a hit reality dating show, he’s built a career out of crafting love stories—even if his own is perpetually off-script. Then comes Charlie Winshaw, a disgraced tech genius cast as the season’s reluctant prince. Awkward, anxious, and hopelessly bad at romance, Charlie is Dev’s biggest challenge yet.
But behind the cameras, sparks start flying in all the wrong directions. As the two men navigate scripted love, unscripted feelings, and the expectations of millions of viewers, they’ll have to decide which story is truly theirs.
Witty, heartfelt, and impossible not to root for, Alison Cochrun’s The Charm Offensive earned rave reviews and EW and BuzzFeed Best Book honors.
