Note
to self: just because he's hot and funny doesn't change the fact he's annoying
AF.
Hooking up with my irritating as hell neighbour wasn't on my agenda for the week,
even if he is ridiculously gorgeous with a smile that lights up my life. His
music is too loud, he’s too nosy… but I can’t stop myself from wanting more
than a taste.
It was only supposed to be a one time thing, but now Rhys seems determined to
charm his way into my world. And when he gets his nose broken at a rock
concert, I'm the one who comes to his rescue.
But there's no time in my life for a relationship. Juggling drag, a paramedic
career, and helping with my sister's kids has already pushed me close to
burnout, and I'm walking a fine line between survival and exhaustion.
I've always been the one helping everyone else and I can't remember the last
time I put myself first.
Maybe it's time to cause a scene and go after the thing I really want: a chance
with the sparkling man next door who has terrible taste in music.

Scene Queen is the second book in The Court series. It can be read as a
standalone without issue. But it does help to read what's come before it.
Evan has his hands full. He works full-time as a paramedic, helps his sister by
babysitting his niblings, and does his drag shows. The stress of trying to
maintain everything is becoming too much but he can't and won't disappoint
anyone. When he comes off a particularly hard night shift from his day job, all
he wants to do is sleep but his neighbor's horrible music is at a level that
won't allow for that to happen. Evan isn't expecting the sexy Welsh man who
answers the door. Hooking up with him almost seems inevitable but all it can be
is a one-time thing – he has no time to offer for a relationship.
Rhys is having a hard time since his twin brother found himself in a committed
relationship. Rhys feels out of sorts being alone. He hates the silence of
living alone, the only thing that seems to help is playing his music loud. When
his sexy neighbor begs for the music to be turned down, Rhys has a new plan –
annoy the neighbor until they hook up. Once Rhys actually sees how much stress
Evan is under, he wants to help, to take care of him, to ease his burdens.
Little does Rhys realize that while he's trying to do all these things for Evan,
he's slowly falling for the man.
There was instant chemistry between Rhys and Evan. I enjoyed seeing Evan's
walls coming down little by little and letting Rhys in. Rhys wouldn't take no
for an answer and was determined to help Evan in the only ways he knew how.
Sweet read. I can't wait for more in this series.
