2016 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention: What It Looks Like by Matthew J. Metzger (311-08-24-2016)

Genuine, believable dialogue, and characters who felt real and weren't perfect. I loved it, and this author has definitely become an auto-buy for me.

Eli Bell is the only son of a police chief inspector and a forensic scientist. He's grown up wonky in a world that only deals with the straight and narrow -- and his new boyfriend isn't helping.

Rob Hawkes is six feet of muscle, tattoos, and arrest warrants. A career criminal and a former guest of Her Majesty's Prison Service, he'd rather hit Eli's parents than sit down to dinner with them. One wrong move, and Rob could destroy Eli -- and his family -- without a second thought.

But this isn't what it looks like.

Rob's not in control here -- and Eli's the one to blame.
