Twenty Questions: A Strangers-To-Friends-To-Lovers MM Romance (Foolish Games Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Hope Irving (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 24 ratings

One unexpected kiss. Two wounded men. Twenty unanswered questions… but only one matters.

When I went on vacation with my boyfriend Alex, I never expected to end up with another man’s lips on mine. My savior, fashion photographer Nino Toussaint, only intended to bring me back to life after a surfing accident nearly ended me. Still, his lips spark a connection that turns my safe world upside down by offering a lifelong friendship worth keeping, even long distance.

Bogged down in a slowly suffocating relationship that oversteps my boundaries, I turn to my new friend as a breather. Doubting Nino will accept me as I am, my overthinking head turns to my favorite game, Twenty Questions, until he raises more life-altering questions.

As life unravels, ghosts from the past continue waking me up at night and haunting me during the daytime. I’m willing to risk everything for a positive answer to this lingering question…
Can Nino be the answer I am truly seeking?

Twenty Questions is book 1 in the Foolish Games Series (M/M - Gay Contemporary Romance).
Twenty Questions features a wary cinnamon roll with spicy kinks and a French Caribbean fashion photographer with trust issues, but these two are so sweet and hot together that they'll melt your heart. No cheating. No cliffhanger. And a guaranteed happy ending... It's a romance after all!
Like my other stories, there's a French flair. This time, you'll get to travel to Bali, the East and West Coast of the US and France. You'll also get a bit of kink between consenting adults.

The Foolish Games Series is a contemporary M/M series with interconnected standalone stories. Each story follows a different couple. I suggest the following reading order to better enjoy background stories and Easter eggs:
- Seven Minutes In Heaven: prequel to the series (novella); James and Alex's story. An exclusive novella that's only available to my subscribers for now.
- Twenty Questions: Book 1; Ash and Nino's story.
- This or That: Book 2; Mike and Troy's story.

Book 3 is a WIP at the moment. Stay tuned by subscribing to my newsletter or following me on social media.

Twenty Questions was previously published as a novella called Lip Service as part as an anthology that's no longer available. Since then, it's been expanded to a full-length rebranded novel with new content, fresh edits, and more swoon moments between Ash and Nino.

Hope Irving is a USA Today and Amazon Top 15 Bestselling Author. She lives in Paris, France, with her supportive husband and creative teenage daughter. The French indie author spent a couple of years in Texas, where she earned her MBA. With many friends, relatives, and readers in the States, the US has a big place in her heart. Although French is her mother tongue, she chose to write her novels in English because it simply feels right for her characters.

Hope’s suspenseful and complex love stories are modern fairytales that feature an unconventional Prince Charming and a headstrong heroine. A natural introvert, she enjoys tormenting her flawed characters with a hint of darkness and sometimes magical elements. Still, her heart melts when love conquers all.

Her work has been described as “genre-defying,” “refreshingly unique,” and “an intriguing rollercoaster read.”

    5.0 out of 5 stars They Need Lots of Questions!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2023
    I liked the earlier novella version of this novel, called Lip Service, but this expanded version is so much better. Now we have much more complete versions of our heroes, Ash and Nino, and understand so much more about why they behave as they do. These two are among my all-time favorite couples. They are so different on the surface, but those differences are just what the other needs. These guys are different from many couples since it is a slower burn and many more insecurities which they openly share. However, Ash keeps one huge secret that ends up shattering the bliss. Alas, we have third-act angst and break up. Luckily, both of them have enough money to fly between Paris and LA when they find the need. There are great side characters, both good and evil, and Hope Irving does a great job drawing them all. I hope some of them get their own stories.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Ash and Nino
    Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2023
    This is a new author to me, and I very much enjoyed Ash and Nino’s story. The writing style is excellent, both main characters are dimensional, quirky but still very real. I loved the opening of the book, it’s wonderfully discombobulated, the reader not quite sure what is happening to Ash. The plot and characters are very engaging. I loved all their conversations, the Twenty Questions game they play a really creative way to get to know these characters. Ash’s journey in this was particularly well done, I loved seeing him grow stronger and more confident. The slow burn pace makes perfect sense for these two, as they sort out what they need from each other. Loved the characters and the writing, I’ll definitely read more from this author.

    I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Romance
    Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2023
    The book was well-written and had genuine emotion and connection. The MC’s had an instant connection and their chemistry was amazing. The story was engaging and I loved how they got to know each other better with their little game of twenty questions. It made their romance more genuine and deeper. You could tell how much they were attracted to each other from the start and then after they met again when they allowed themselves to feel something real. Being this was my first time reading a book from this author, I am looking forward to reading the whole series and any other works available.

    I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Intense connection and genuine characters
    Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2023
    The flow! The heat! The swoon! I’m floored.
    This author has really hit her stride in writing MM, which she has a knack for. Photographer Nino saves surfer Ash from drowning while he’s vacationing in Bali. Their intense connection begins—and thankfully does not end—there. A long-distance friendship develops, which builds when one appears on the other’s doorstep. Navigating a broken heart and secret desires, they (finally!) arrive at their own happy ever after. The story had development and progression and was smooth and seamless so that the reader could “fall right in.” 5 stars!
