Shameless Recommendation
Dangerously Happy made me dangerously emotional. I want to get this out of the way, because I can't recommend it in good conscience without mentioning it: the book needs another edit. Having said that, it was SO GOOD, by the second chapter I couldn't care less. I went through pretty much every single emotion there is, the entire roller coaster that took hold of Aiden and never let him go. The way Dario was with him in the beginning pretty much beats every single first encounter between a fictional couple I've ever read. And the book kept surprising me, chapter after chapter, there was something new and unexpected happening, and I didn't always like it, but I think that was the point. An absolutely refreshing read, that for once didn't shy away from a bisexual character still being attracted to women. Also, the sex? There's a lot of it, and it's sharp, a little dark, like a piece of your favorite chocolate melting on your tongue. Just read it guys, and don't let those few typos put you off.

Publisher Synopsis
via Amazon
Aidan has always played it safe. Instead of pursuing his dream of creating innovative music that makes his soul sing, he settled for a degree in software, a job in a cubicle, and a spot in a generic band with his buddies.
And he's always been straight. But when he's seduced by magnetic local literary luminary Dario, Aidan must decide whether to keep playing it safe, or succumb to a ravenous passion and a nourishing love unlike anything he's experienced before. Will he find the courage to go after real happiness if it means admitting he's in love with a man?
Their journey together isn't easy. Sometimes it isn't safe. Even if Aidan has the courage to admit he's in love with Dario, can he endure the repercussions of the traumatic event in Dario's past?
This novel has mature content and is intended for readers over the age of eighteen.

[su_quote]It was like drowning, that kiss the medium in which my body, my soul was suspended, that kiss touching every cell of my skin, every hair follicle on my body, filling my mouth, my throat, my lungs until I couldn’t breathe, until my consciousness started to dim and blur in dizzy euphoria.[/su_quote]
