Publisher's Summary
Garrett Steiner loves his grandmother.
Really.
But when she rents a billboard in the middle of Times Square hoping to find him a husband, he isn’t so sure anymore. Bad enough everyone at the “Crossroads of the World” thinks he’s a joke—now his face is plastered all over the news. He’s already in enough trouble with the principal of his school, who isn’t thrilled to have a gay teacher. It might be two dateless years since his divorce, but no way is he going to answer any of the thousand emails he’s received.
Except maybe one. The long-haired man with the soulful eyes.
After the devastating loss of his husband, rock star Remi Angel has hit rock bottom. His career is in shambles and he’s spiraling. Fast.
With the media ready for the next juicy scandal, he leaves the limelight behind to return to his roots and spend time with his beloved grandfather. Seeing Garrett’s billboard ad, Remi sends him an email, figuring nothing will come of it, but hey. At least he’s trying.
Except Garrett does answer, and when they meet, both feel that special spark. It’s terrifying yet wondrous, a combination of desire and hope mixed with fear.
The fear of loving again.
Of coming alive again.
This wasn’t supposed to happen.
But anything can happen in a New York minute…even love.
In a New York Minute is a slow burn, rock star, M/M romance filled with longing, doubt and swoony moments. There are love songs, a secret identity, a wise, bagel-loving grandpa, and an unrepentant bubbe who knows what's best for her grandson.
Once in a lifetime can't happen twice...or can it?

Please make it stop
Predictable, with cheesy lines, over the top tropes especially with the “family is everything, old people are so wise and love will change/save everything” (with its associated corollary about it’s loss), with a side of judgemental ridiculous advice and “holier than thou solution” offered to a side character at the end just made the whole book a NO for me! It just got to the point of ridiculousness. Once in a while you could gag back your reaction to an overly cheesy line but then events/lines between the main characters and their families started piling up and really just ruined the whole book and made you realize how much there had been. Even the way the author tried to weave in a trans-positive message felt ham-handed, as was her sappiness around the teaching profession. Also, grieving is not an excuse for everything!! Someone close to the author should’ve read this in advance and offered some straight talk before she published. I love a good romance and have listened to 100s of many genres but this one feels lazy and is beneath the author, the readers/listeners and even the poor characters. Even (or maybe especially) the narrator’s voicing of one of the main characters adds to the disaster. Overall I’m super disappointed and letdown that I kept listening hoping the author would pull it together but it just kept on its downward trajectory in my opinion. Save yourself the credit and the time or try not to gag on the schmaltz! I guess I should’ve looked at the cover more closely because the picture seems to capture it all!
