Description

Sometimes when you change one part of your life, it transforms everything else...

Meet Andy. He's in his mid-twenties, smart and successful, with a slightly adorable propensity for clumsiness. He's happy with all aspects of his life - except one. His body. 

He's skinny. Too skinny. Which doesn't make any sense, because he has the worst eating habits of anyone he knows. If anything, his problem should be too much weight, not too little. 

Not one to be defeated, Andy decides to do something about it. He joins the gym. His goal? To build the body of his dreams, and become an absolute muscle powerhouse. 

What he doesn’t expect is how much joining the gym won’t just change his body, it will completely transform his life. 

Andy joins the Amazing Fitness gym where he meets the four co-owners, known as the quad squad (who yes, all have great thighs). But it’s one co-owner, who literally takes his breath away. Jack. 

From the moment Andy lies eyes on Jack's glistening, naked body in the locker room, he feels something stir within him that he's never felt before. 

But there's more to Jack than just his stunning muscular body, chiselled face, deep blue eyes and adorable smile. Jack’s looking to find the right guy who sees and values him for more than just his appearance. 

Insecurities about his body and a bad breakup means Andy’s inner-confidence is at an all-time low. Will he be able to push himself past his limitations and break through to get the body - and the guy - of his dreams? 

Join Andy on his journey of transformation, reconnecting with his lost inner-confidence and overcoming insecurities to find love, and just as importantly, self-acceptance. 

ABOUT: 

"Are You In?" is the debut gay m/m romance from P.W. Steele. 

It’s a short, sweet (and sexy!) m/m romance featuring a slow burn romance, low-to-mid level angst, steamy sex (sometimes unconventional, always consensual), multi-dimensional characters and a satisfying HEA. 

FROM THE AUTHOR: 

I’m so excited to be (finally) sharing this story with the world. It’s taken me a long time to finally work up the courage to do it! 

I really hope you enjoy this book, and if you do, I have an amazing journey planned for all of these characters. A journey filled with self-discovery, overcoming limitations, beautiful new relationships, battling demons (and drama), owning your truth and ultimately, finding true love. 

Trust me, you will want to see what happens next!

Sometimes when you change one part of your life, it transforms everything else...

Meet Andy. He's in his mid-twenties, smart and successful, with a slightly adorable propensity for clumsiness...

Featured Reviews

Andy is nervous, he’s trying to improve the shape of his body by joining a gym but is scared because he has never really been into fitness before and hates to look at himself in the mirror. He has taken advantage of the one-week free trial which includes nutritional advice as well as wellness. He meets the four owners of the establishment and is struck by Jack who he can’t get out of his mind. I enjoyed reading this short story, but it felt like just the beginning for the couple and I would really like to know how they get on. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Wow! This is an m/m book so if it’s not for you then move on. This book is well written and very classy as far as m/m books go.
Andy is a very successful man but is very unhappy with his body. He is amazingly handsome but the body doesn’t match in his vision. He signs up for a free trail at a gym and meets the owners. Let’s just say he really likes Jack.
Good read. Give it a try.

How to start this review, i like romance book but having said that i do not like the play play form whereby it goes back and fro. The scences were okays to read but it was just super tiring for me to continue reading it.

I will have to pass this series if it is going to be one.

"Are you in?" - is a short love story about Andy, the young guy who'd like to join a gym. The book is short, so don't expect lots from it. But there is a hope that the author will continue with Andy's story.

P.W. Steele truly does give us a sweet romance, though I don’t know how slow-burn it is in under 70 pages (chuckle). I will say that Andy has something unique that I think most people want whether it’s real or not - even if it’s just for a moment (or two). The author manages to make both characters have the same issue, but from completely different perspectives which is more commonplace than people think. It could have made Jack and Andy butt heads and instead Andy saw beyond that.

Steele has a style of writing where they mix viewpoints within the story and without notice which was interesting. It worked for me in every area except one where I had to go back and read it twice. That’s really the only note I have on the style and formatting of the story which is really good for a debut story.

Are You In? is a cute romance, plus a story about knowing your worth and fighting for it. Yup, all that in under 100 pages.
