Synopsis

Note to self: falling for the new queen you’re mentoring will only lead to trouble.

Being broke, single, and homeless after winning the UK’s biggest drag show wasn’t how my life was supposed to go. I’m meant to be the one with everything, but thanks to an unscrupulous tour company I’ve got nothing but my image and a mountain of debt.

Moving back home with my mum and taking the first gig I’m offered in a local drag panto is supposed to help me get back on my feet, but meeting Colin tangles me up more than ever.

Colin desperately wants to start doing drag and suddenly I’m helping a baby queen find her feet while falling head over heels for the man behind the lashes.

We all know mixing these power dynamics is a recipe for trouble, but my life is already a mess. Will falling for Colin really spell disaster or is he the only thing keeping me upright in my seven-inch heels?

4.5 Stars

A sweet romance that glistened with sparkles, and glitter. Ms. Novak creates a fun community of drag queens that are interesting both on and off the stage. The story was an enjoyable read that had a serious undertone, but also many warm, and accepting moments. This is book three of the Court Series, and it might help to read the others, but I believe it could be a standalone.

Anthony’s drag persona is Barbie Summers. She was riding high for quite a while selling out her shows and winning a season of Drag Stars UK, then a betrayal made Anthony feel he lost it all.

He has returned to his hometown and plans to stay with his supportive mom until he can regroup. Anthony is full of self-loathing and feels like a failure. He is a hard-working, decent man that blames himself for his unfortunate setback.

Anthony ends up visiting the Court to meet the drag performers as Barbie Summers. She feels confident, and fierce, and pushes the hurt and depression aside. Barbie Summers is a rock star to the members of the Court and they are thrilled. She is considering performing there while visiting and meets a nervous young man that wants to do drag but is unsure of himself. Barbie Summers offers to mentor Colin much to his delighted shock.

Colin is too adorable for words. He is smart but also lacks self-confidence. He enjoys hanging out with Anthony and the two realize there is a strong chemistry between them. They become more than friends, and I loved how there was no angst in a relationship that helped both men heal.

This is a book that I recommend, and hope you enjoy the larger than life view of drag and the amazing people that pour their hearts, and souls into their craft. Happy reading.
