Silver & Sage (Silver in the City Book 1) Kindle Edition

by A.D. Ellis (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 528 ratings
Bode Silver doesn’t have time for feelings or a relationship. Then Sage shows up. Sage is Silver’s exact opposite, his renter, and his new employee. The kid is much too young and much too innocent. There are a million reasons why Silver and Sage should never get together. And Silver plans to keep it that way. Until all of those reasons go up in flames with one kiss.
Silver & Sage is a steamy, opposites-attract, age-gap M/M romance between a shy, inexperienced nerd and an outgoing grump of a bar owner.
*This is the first book in the Silver in the City series. Each book focuses on a different couple.*

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Escape into addictive, sexy, emotional M/M romance.

A.D. Ellis is an Indiana girl, born and raised. She spends much of her time in central Indiana as an instructional coach/teacher in the inner city of Indianapolis, being a mom to two amazing teens, and wondering how she and her husband of over two decades haven't driven each other insane yet. A lot of her time is also devoted to phone call avoidance and her hatred of cooking.

She loves chocolate, hot tea, sweet wine with friends, pizza, and naps along with reading and writing romance. These loves don’t leave much time for housework, much to the chagrin of her husband. Who would pick cleaning the house over a nap or a good book? She uses any extra time to increase her fluency in sarcasm.

A.D. uses she/they pronouns.

    Silver and Sage is book 1 in the Silver in the City Series and features the older, grumpy Boden and the younger, sweet Sage. These two had a chemistry-fueled push and pull for more than half the book before Bode (rhymes with Jodie) got his head out of his rear end and professed his interested in the younger man. Then they had the sexiest and sweetest romance to finish out the story.

    So Bode lives with his twin brother and cousin in an apartment over the bar he’s about to open. They need a fourth roommate and that’s where they young, genius Sage comes in to play. Bode is immediately attracted to him but he keeps saying he’s too young, a renter, and an employee so he tried to resist.

    Sage is socially awkward and lonely. But over time he finds a deep friendship with the three guys while also trying to figure out of abode reciprocates feelings. He may be inexperienced but he’s not innocent and when Bode finally caves, we see it all.

    Overall I enjoyed this one. It was quick, sexy, and lowish angst. I can definitely see myself reading more from this series!

    Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2021

    Based in Indianapolis, this three book series begins with the twins and their cousin (all Silvers) in a new apartment seeking a flatmate. All are entrepreneurs about to open new commercial spaces. Sage, a graduate student, moves in and, as part of a family team, contributes to the efforts of opening a bar. A controlling father provides friction and angst, as Bode launches his establishment and yields to his attraction to Sage. Humor filters through the plot as Ellis populates the trio of books, reading as real life, realistic and real world. The passion scenes are hot and well handled, again sensitive to a developing romance.

    Nerdy genius Sage rents a room from grumpy sexy Bode and his brother Benji and cousin Kyson. The tension is thick between Bose and Sage from the get go.

    Sage is open, funny and works his way into Body's life and heart. Great story but I felt the declarations came a bit quick. Still love the writing and can't wait to grab book 2.

    I love this author and couldn’t wait to start another series of hers! I love an age-gap so I grabbed this one up immediately upon seeing that!

    I love that these twins and their cousin are so close! It reminds me of my cousins and myself but not exactly how these guys were. My first instinct with Bode was annoyed because you could feel the lust within him but the age was an issue for him. I also felt like he had so much pressure on himself and it was just a matter of time before he blew. I love that Sage is the nerdy type that loves to learn! He made me swoon some and I just couldn’t help the love I felt for all of these guys.

    I am so ready to see what happens with the other guys but I’m also really annoyed with Bode’s dad and feel like so much was left unsaid. I’m hoping for more in the next couple of chapters.

    A well written story about two men with a ten year age difference who become roommates. The older gentleman, Bode, is gruff and stubborn. The younger gentleman, Sage, is kind and socially awkward. Bode lives with his twin brother and a cousin, and Sage becomes the 4th roommate. Bode is opening a bar and Sage is in a Master's program at the nearby college. It is opposites attract, older/younger, experienced/innocent, school if life vs school of thought. The secondary characters were well written. It has a happy ending for the main couple and shows potential love stories for the twin brother and the cousin. I enjoyed this book through the KU program. 4 solid stars!

    Those guys are amazing together.
    Safe a virgin nerd and Bod new business owner and Sage landlord. Could not get more complicated with two of them getting together. However it worked. There were sparks from the start.
    I got sucked in at every page, every drama from Bod. Him being grumpy to realising what Sage meant to him.
    Enjoyed the easy love and read. 4.5

    5.0 out of 5 stars The grump and the cute
    Reviewed in Italy on January 15, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Bode is my favorite kind of character,all gruff,scowling sexiness. He's even more of an adorable grump once Sage moves in as a roommate. He convinced himself he has to fight the attraction to the cute, younger man,which, of course, makes Sage become a bigger temptation.

    Sage is indeed inexperienced, shy and socially awkward, but he's definitely not a pushover. Assertive when it's needed and with a clear mind of what he wants... which is very much Bode, if only the sexy grump would hurry up and get over his hangups.

    So it becomes an entertaining waiting game for Bode to dig his head out of his backside,lol,because he's obviously fighting a loosing battle. I've had so much fun watching Bode and Sage together. They squabble like an old married couple,all but jumping at each other...until they finally do...and I mean jump on each other, more like. There's so much chemistry between them, and also sweetness because of their emotional connection,the depth of their feelings for one another.

    And now,with 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿 & 𝗦𝗮𝗴𝗲,there's one Silver man paired up, two more to go. Can't wait for the next book in the series.

    Opposites attract? Maybe. Both sweet Sage and bull-headed Bode are great charters to read, a well put together story, a little angsty, a little sexy, a lot of fun. Talk about slow burn though, this was the slowest, and most frustrating developing romance ever, Bode really needed to pull hid head out of his . . . well, he was slow. A great read and there is more to follow.
