Synopsis
Kasen Reed was a lonely guy with hardly any friends. Sheltered by his domineering, cynical mother, he never gained much of a social status and he’s never known true affection. At the age of 19, he finally moves out to start his own life and he has no idea where he’s going from here.
Rowan Kelly moved to the tiny town of Chartreuse, Alabama in hopes of starting anew. After a messy breakup that lingers over his head, and his heart, he believes he’s finally found the perfect place to open his clinic and do what he loves best; helping animals. Despite how picture perfect the quaint little town seems, the 26 year old feels like something is missing…..
Two lonesome hearts will have a chance encounter in a town that doesn’t seem to be ready for the acceptance of love equality, but will it stop them from being together?

My Review
5 stars for me, if I could give it more I would!!
Rowan moves to small town to start over after heartbreak. He opens his veterinary clinic in what appears to be a friendly small town.
Kasen has always been the quiet guy, sheltered by his mother for so long, at 19 he's just beginning his life.
He has no real friends, works the night shift at a radio station where the repeat callers become his friends.
Rowan meets Kasen and likes him, he wants to be his friend but Kasen is so unsure of himself.
Rowan knows he has to take it slow with Kasen, he's like a skittish puppy, he needs friends, he needs love, he needs to be himself, but Rowan knows he can't push without scaring Kasen away.
Kasen has finally found a friend. Someone who doesn't judge him, who helps him see the world outside his door and hiding behind a microphone at the radio station. Kasen is attracted to Rowan, but he has no clue how to handle it.
Rowan shows Kasen there's much more to life than he's ever known, shows him the world around him, not just his mother and his tiny town. Kasen is happy, he's found a friends and a lover.
But how does smalltown USA deal with their first homosexual couple?
This is a beautiful story of one mans coming of age basically, learning all he's known is not all there is. Learning to trust, to love and to stand up for himself. While Rowan learns to overcome his past and take a chance again.
I love these two men, the story is so sweet and could happen in any small town still stuck in the dark ages. Chartreuse is a sweet love story but also deals with stereotypes and a young man dealing with making his sexuality known publicly. There are so many obstacles to overcome, but Kasen gets what he needs to be a stronger, sure of himself, happy man.
