5 Sweet StarsIf you're going into this book thinking you're going to get a hot, sexy, steamy read, then you need to think again.  This book is filled with so much sweetness, you'll be on a sugar high when you're finished.  Yes, Chartreuse is an M/M romance, but when you're reading, that's the last thing that is on your mind.  So even if you're not a fan and M/M is not your cup of tea, I still encourage you to read this book.  All that you see when you're reading, is two people who are in love and deserve to not be recognized for their differences, but for the love that they so clearly hold for each other.One of my favorite lines from the book- "I want to go out there and hold a guy's hand without being afraid... I want everybody, no matter who they are or what they want, to have the ability to walk down the street without somebody opening their mouth and saying it's not right.  Because love is always right... Love is love is love and damn it, I shouldn't be hated for loving somebody."Real life problems are addressed in Chartreuse and nothing is sugar coated.  All of those issues that same sex couples have to endure in real life, show up in the book.  The reader feels their heartache as their own.  You feel for these two wonderful men and only want what's best for them.  And what's best for them, is them being able to live together happily ever after.I'll leave you with a thought taken directly from the pages of Chartreuse- "The thing that's so screwed up about humanity is that people are taught to fear what's different.  The think they have to question it instead of just accepting it."I greatly encourage you to read this book, you will not regret it.  100% of the proceeds from the sales of Chartreuse from May 10- May 23 will be donated to The Trevor Project and the Ronald McDonald House Charities.~*~Lauren~*~
