Genre: Contemporary Romance, GLBTQ, MM

Released: September 1, 2019

Publisher: Marcarons & Tea Publishing

Series: Would it Be Okay to Love You?, Book 5

Synopsis

A voice actor out of the closet. A boyfriend in the tabloids. Can their love survive the trappings of fame?

Aoi is more comfortable in the recording studio than in the limelight. But when his boyfriend persuades him to come out on national TV, he skyrockets from D-list adult voice actor to gay icon. Caught in a whirlwind of fame, Aoi worries the wear and tear will be too much for his vocal cords—and his heartstrings—to handle.

Sato is a diehard fan of geek culture and his dreamy boyfriend. So when Aoi’s newfound star power gives him a chance to voice a favorite anime character, Sato’s over the moon. But after doctors diagnose Aoi with a career-threatening throat condition, Sato doesn’t know which is worse—the relentless rumor mill or his crushing guilt for pushing the man he loves to the brink of ruin.

In the midst of a media frenzy and medical emergencies, can Aoi and Sato’s love survive, or will it be silenced forever?

Year Three is a heartwarming gay romance with a unique Japanese setting. If you like steamy chemistry, Japanese anime culture, and emotional journeys of overcoming the odds, then you’ll adore Amy Tasukada’s pitch-perfect slice-of-life anthology collection.

I loved reading more about Sata and Aoi.

I’m really sorry to see the Would It Be OK to Love You series come to an end. I’ve loved following Sato and Aoi’s relationship. Seeing it develop from two rather shy and hesitant guys (especially Sato) getting together, into a full-blown love affair has been really enjoyable.

This series was my introduction into Amy Tasukada’s writing and I’ll admit that it took me a little bit to get used to all off the unfamiliar terms used in this series but it was worth the time it took me. I don’t really think you can read Year Three as a standalone; you need all of the background information that the other books provide in order to enjoy it. They really are great books so I don’t think you’ll be sorry if you start from the beginning.

Every relationship has its challenges but Sato and Aoi had to be particularly careful in the beginning because their culture is not accepting of gay relationships. Throughout the stories things do get a bit better, though.

Year Three has Aoi facing a serious health issue that is a threat to his career. Then there’s an issue with his parents that Sato handled perfectly. I can’t go into more detail without giving spoilers.

This has been a delightful series to read and I’ll miss Aoi and Sato but Amy Tasukada provided them with a fitting finale to their love story.

There’s a teaser at the end of this book for a new series called Aphrodite’s Castle Host Club. She says it’s going to be an exclusive monthly serial in her newsletter and I’m really looking forward to reading it.
