When his mother became president, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal.

And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation, US/British relations take a turn for the worse. Heads of family, state, and other handlers devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals.

Histoire
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. “The best of all the Greeks”—strong, beautiful, and the child of a goddess—Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Their bond deepens as they grow into young men and become skilled in the arts of war and medicine—much to the displeasure and the fury of Achilles’ mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.

Histoire
Arthur is only in New York for the summer, but if Broadway has taught him anything, it’s that the universe can deliver a showstopping romance when you least expect it. Ben thinks the universe needs to mind its business. If the universe had his back, he wouldn’t be on his way to the post office carrying a box of his ex-boyfriend’s things. But when Arthur and Ben meet-cute at the post office, what exactly does the universe have in store for them? Maybe nothing. After all, they get separated. Maybe everything. After all, they get reunited.

Histoire
Rafe is a normal teenager from Colorado. He's been out since 8th grade, accepted by his peers & championed by his progressive parents. And while that's important, all Rafe really wants is to be a regular guy. To have his sexuality be a part of who he is, but not the headline, every single time. So when Rafe transfers to an all-boys' boarding school in New England, he decides to keep his sexuality a secret - not so much going back in the closet as starting over with a clean slate.

Description
The sexy and sweet coming-of-age romance novel that inspired a movie!
The hot Texas nights were lonely for Ben before his heart began beating to the rhythm of two words; Tim Wyman. By all appearances, Tim had the perfect body and ideal life, but when a not-so-accidental collision brings them together, Ben discovers that the truth is rarely so simple. If winning Tim's heart was an impossible quest, keeping it would prove even harder as family, society, and emotion threaten to tear them apart.
Something Like Summer is a love story spanning a decade and beyond as two boys discover what it means to be friends, lovers, and sometimes even enemies.
Each Something Like... book follows a different gay character on their quest for love. Central to the plot is the troubled relationship between Ben and Tim, high school sweethearts who continue to meet at different stages of their lives, their chemistry changing with each encounter. Surrounding them are a wealth of friends and enemies, each with their own story, resulting in an immersive universe filled with optimism and hope, heartbreak, and healing. While the series doesn't shy away from sexual content, it also focuses deeply on emotion, promising an experience that will stay with you long after the final chapter.

- Something Like Summer
- Something Like Autumn

- Something Like Spring
- Something Like Lightning

Réaction
J’adore ce livre ! Super histoire pour rêver et en même temps se rendre compte que la vie est la vie . Elle n’ai pas toute rose mais peux quand même faire briller nos cœurs parfois . Et sans oublier la voix de Kevin R. Free ! Elle est parfaite pour cette histoire ! Et quand il fait la voix de Tim ! C’est trop la voix que je me disais quand il expliquait qui était Tim. Bravo pour le tout

More than meets the eye...
From the book cover I assumed that this was a ‘coming out’ or ‘coming of age’ story akin to the many tales of teenage angst already described in a variety of other books but I was pleasantly surprised. Within this book a story of desire, lust, love, friendship, realization, acceptance, delusion, and growth set to describe the life of Ben, our protagonist. Ben’s own inner growth as well as his relationships with Allison, Tim, and Jace make this tale one that must not be missed. I actually loved this story…an entire gambit of emotional responses were elicited by the words of the author, Jay Bell. Kevin Frees’ narration brought the characters to life in such a way that one’s imagination was able to be transported to the world with which they exist. I do not wish to give too much away, but the dynamic of the three principal relationships—Ben & Allison; Ben & Tim; and Ben & Jace—and how they became intertwined makes this a very enjoyable journey. A MUST!!!

Wonderful Treat.
Would you listen to Something Like Summer again? Why?
Yes I would, it was a wonderful story of self discovery and how love can survive despite a shaky start. Also, be warned, quite a tear jerker.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Something Like Summer?
Probably when Tim finally realizes how much he loves Ben.
What does Kevin R. Free bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Mr. Free has a wonderful voice and really brought the story to life.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Both.
Any additional comments?
I believe this is slated to be made into a movie and I can't wait. It will make a wonderful movie if they capture the spirit of the book.

Stick with it.
At first, I thought this was the typical teenage coming of age story. It definitely started out that way. The first half is tender and sweet, young love at in all it's glory. In the second half, the book grows up, just like the characters. Life gets in the way, there's tragedy, loss and reward. Can you love more than one person at a time? Do first love's last? I ended up enjoying the book more than I thought I would. So, stick with it. Its rewarding in the end.

You will easily see yourself in these characters
If you could sum up Something Like Summer in three words, what would they be?
Romantic, Improbable, Warming
What did you like best about this story?
I related surprisingly well with the main character, Ben. More than once I found myself thinking how much I could relate to the feelings of longing, sadness, and excitement portrayed by him. This not only helped me connect more with the story, but also made me realize that other people probably feel the same way about certain topics in the book as I do (being gay, this was an important realization). Overall I would highly recommend this book to anyone, but especially to gay individuals who would like a "realistic" portrayal of a normal gay relationship. That being said, many of the circumstances in the book were slightly improbable and it was often easy to see them coming. Even so, the suspense created was enough to propel you through the book and keeping you listening late into the night.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes

Best Gay Book Around.
What did you love best about Something Like Summer?
I love how this book focuses on a homosexuals life and doesn't portray it negatively or stereotypically, mostly. It a love story that spans a lifetime and just so happens its with two guys which is brilliant. It wasn't anymore sexual than common books of similare standing with a hetero story.

It Gets Better (Poster-Book for Everyone)
I liked the span of this book, it was broader than I originally expected. The pace was a little on the fast side, but that meant I was never bored as each new plot twist and emotion was introduced. I loved the sex - well written, hot but not overly dramatic. The character interactions were believable and I liked that no one was all bad or all good. It dealt with a lot of difficult life events without becoming melodramatic or ridiculously apathetic.

Good Story, A Little Amateur In Some Spots
What did you love best about Something Like Summer?
I really like the slightly different take on the gay story line, it was intriguing and more real then others that I have read. It was nice to see real human flaws in these characters.
Any additional comments?
Overall I liked this book, some parts seemed a little bit like a junior author wrote them. The passage of time was rather clumsy and I don't feel like the characters aged or changed even though there was massive jumps in time. The first half of the book was great. The story kind of went off course later on, but it kind of pulled back in the end.

Don't judge it by the cartoonish cover
Very glad to have picked this up, and immediately started on "Something Like Winter" moments after finishing this one. Part one was pretty reminiscent of "The Geography Club" (which I also enjoyed - twice) except Ben has supporting and participatory parents. The entire story though is quite a roller coaster ride with Ben & Tim vs Ben & Jace. The only reason I didn't give the story five stars though is the very, very end. Trying to say this without becoming a spoiler, but if Ben was so excited at the chance to see Tim after more than two years, and if it was so easy for him to fall into it again, why had he waited so long? At least it squeezed in a potentially happy ending that I think every reader wanted and expected. Hoping "Something Like Winter" ultimately provides a little more from where this one ends.

Great Book
What does Kevin R. Free bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I don't know why, but his voice strikes me as what Ben would sound like.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Hot and Heart Felt

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x what the actual f*** was this ending?!?!?!?! I never liked the Jace storyline (although I loved his character) but I just find it weak that killing him off was the only way out of this love triangle. That just makes it even more f***ed up that I still wanted Ben to end up with Tim. But it just didn‘t feel deserved.

Ziemlich schlecht geschriebene, meistens langweilige Lovestory. Der Schreibstil ist eher eine Aufzählung von Ereignissen, Handlungen, Gefühlen: der Hörer darf und könnte sich auch kein eigenes Bild der Emotionen der eindimensionalen Protagonisten machen, weil alles erklärt wird : " Telling, not showing". Dadurch kann kein Kopfkino entstehen. Das Buch bedient alle Klischees eines Liebesdramas wie Love against all odds, Trennung, Verrat, Treue, Verlust, was eigentlich eine tolle Sache ist. Leider ist es in diesem Buch extrem schlecht umgesetzt. Am Ende der Geschichte hab ich nur mit den Augen gerollt, war stolz durchgehalten zu haben und war erleichtert, dass es vorbei war.
