Set the Stage (A Rivervue Community Theatre Romance, #2) Kindle Edition

by Daniel De Lorne (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.5 out of 5 stars 8 ratings

He's the Banksy of the international theatre scene - daring, anonymous, renowned. So when playwright 'Draven' bequeaths his latest play to the rural Rivervue Theatre, the stage is set for drama.




While the redevelopment brief for Rivervue Community Theatre moulders on his desk, a phone call from an unrequited past love sends architect Gabriel Mora running back to his artsy hometown. Afraid of worsening his mother's health, Gabriel is forced to hide his involvement in the redevelopment. It's just one more secret to keep, along with his feelings for a certain red-headed stage manager.


Bruce Clifton can build anything. But the jobs mean nothing if he's not getting paid. On the cusp of losing his home, Bruce needs to find a way to call in those debts without showing his community how much trouble he's got himself into. With Gabriel's return to town stirring up past hurts, soon it's not just his home Bruce has to worry about losing, but his heart.


Can Bruce and Gabriel work together for the good of Rivervue, or will their hope for a second chance exit stage right?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Daniel de Lorne writes about men, monsters and magic.

In love with writing since he wrote a story about a talking tree at age six, his first novel, the romantic horror Beckoning Blood, was published in 2014. At the heart of every book is a romance between two men, whether they’re irresistible vampires, historical hotties, or professional paramours.

In his other life, Daniel is a professional writer and researcher in Perth, Australia, with a love of history and nature. All of which makes for great story fodder.

And when he’s not working, he and his husband explore as much of this amazing world as they can, from the ruins of Welsh abbeys to trekking famous routes and swimming with whales.

If you take your LGBT romance fiction with a supernatural, urban fantasy or contemporary flavor, Daniel de Lorne delivers.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Solid Story with a Great Message
    Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2021
    Format: Kindle
    Sweet, heartfelt, and super solid second chance romance from Daniel de Lorne. There's a good deal going on beneath the surface in Set the Stage and de Lorne gives us enough credit to know it. He delivers the bones of the story on a platter: terminally ailing mom, history of abuse, lost love, and deceitful ex-best friend. As I've found with the de Lorne stories I've read, this author paints the story with broad brushstrokes and lets the pieces fall where they may. Which results in a story which might bring out a different result to each reader. One of the main reasons I've never turned down the chance to read and review one of his novels.

    Having not read book one in this series, I went in blind, which didn't cause too much of an issue. I was able to catch up quickly with the characters and their dynamics.

    We're introduced to two characters, Gabriel and Bruce, early on, both with distinctive voices and both likable personalities. It's clear from the onset that these individuals have a history--a trope I always enjoy.

    The conflict as the narrative pushed forwards felt a little forced and overdramatized at times, though the overall development is sweetly done and tied up nicely.

    The bottom line: An enjoyable read offering great romantic escapism.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Two heros for the price of one, and so much heart!
    Reviewed in Australia on October 12, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    So this was my first MM romance and I'm kicking myself that it's taken so long to try this genre, because yes, two heroes for the price of one! Set the Stage is a wonderfully heartwarming story of second chances and deep emotional ties. I read this as part of the One From The Heart anthology and bought it as a stand alone ebook so I could leave this review because I loved the story of Gabe and Bruce. Both men had to deal with difficult family issues, personal self-doubts, and learn to accept love and help from others. The twists and turns of the story kept me gripped to the end and the love story was beautifully handled. I'm so glad Bruce and Gabriel got their happy-ever-after. Also loved the world of the Riverview Community Theatre and how much they belonged there. Beautiful story, well written.
