An absolute masterpiece! This book effortlessly blends humour, heart, and suspense into an unforgettable reading experience... A must-read. I can't recommend it enough! This is storytelling at its finest.' Reader Review, ★★★★★ David's writing career? Dying. And his hot new date? Dead in his bed. A few years ago, David Alvarez had it all: a six-figure book deal, a loving boyfriend, and an exciting writing career. His debut novel was a resounding success, which made the publication of his second book-a total flop-all the more devastating. Now, David is single, lonely, and desperately trying to come up with the next great idea for his third manuscript, which will hopefully be the one to save him from ruin. In an attempt to find inspiration, David hits the dating apps. And his luck seems to have turned when he meets a devastatingly handsome, confident, and wealthy man who takes him out on the town for the best night of his life. There's only one problem. The morning after a phenomenal date, David wakes to find his prince charming dead in his bed. Terrified and confused, David calls the only person he can trust in a moment of crisis: his literary agent, Stacey. What ensues is a madcap adventure through the city with his dead date as David and Stacey try to find what secrets prince charming has been hiding, and just how much hot water David is in. One silver lining? His next book idea seems pretty set... Read what everyone has been saying about I Might Be in Trouble:'SO addictive and delightful... Seriously, stop reading reviews and go read it!!!' Reader Review, ★★★★★ 'This was f**king phenomenal. To say I had a blast is an understatement' Reader Review, ★★★★★ 'Wow!!... Took me to places I did not expect... Devoured it in less than a day. I laughed, I cried, I was thrilled. I can't recommend this book enough.' Reader Review, ★★★★★ 'This DESERVES to be on the screen. If you're gay looking for authentic characters, or just HUMAN looking for a brilliant read, pick this up. You won't regret it.' Reader Review, ★★★★★ 'I hope you have tissues handy... Wish I could go back and read this all over again for the first time... If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would - I loved it that much.' Reader Review, ★★★★★ 'Jaw on the floor!!!! The Queer dark comedic thriller of my freaking dreams.' Reader Review, ★★★★★ 'The way I inhaled this book!!!!... An A+ read.' Reader Review, ★★★★★
