Genre:LGBT Paranormal After a bad breakup, Adam Kavanaugh returns to his sleepy old river town to find himself. His family hasn't changed, but he has some work to do readjusting to small-town life, so much that he wonders if he's made a mistake by coming home. But from the moment Leith Marshall pops out of the Ohio River and smiles at him, there's no turning back. Between Leith's swimmer body, sweet laugh, and gentle soul, Adam is head over heels. Leith lets Adam into his little world bit by bit, from his mother's abandoned aquarium shop to his elderly father's fairy tale delusions.Which might not be so delusional after all. Leith does have a certain affinity for water. It seems almost to listen to him. The current never pulls him downriver, the tub doesn't splash, and the pool hardly moves around him even at an all out sprint. He can't spend a night away from his river, and then there's the way he sings. Adam has to admit, he'd steer his ship straight into the rocks for that.So maybe Leith inherited a few things from his mysterious mother. It doesn't mean he'll disappear like she did. That's absurd. Right?Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual situations, graphic language, and material that some readers may find objectionable: male/male sexual practices.

The story was interesting and well written. The writing is different and engaging. Both Adam and Leith were quirky and cute. I liked it!

3.5 Book Review: By The River by Katey Hawthorne
Not quite four stars due to the abrupt ending that left the story slightly unfinished. I liked the relationship between Adam and Leith, their easy banter and even though it smacked of insta-love, I believed the romance between them. TJ as Adam's younger brother was a good secondary character, even...

Might be the format on my kindle, but without breaks between the scenes it was a bit difficult to read. And might be my ESL, but overall the whole story felt elusive to me, I couldn't quite grasp it.

What a weird little story. But I mean that in the best possible way. I love the quirky tone and the unusual ending. Just wish it was longer.

Reading this book felt like magic, or like a dream. It flowed in such an easy, seamless way that you couldn't help being happily tugged along. I love the vibrant setting, and the subtlely woven magical elements that seem to be there only if the reader wants them to be. A gorgeous, wonderful story. I...
