Ellis Young has dreams that will never come true, or so he believes. The things he wants are unattainable for someone like him- dumb, poor, ‘easy’. He longs to be cared for by someone who sees him as more than a one-night stand or bathroom quickie.
Jagger Ward sees Ellis for who he is but struggles to break down the walls Ellis has built while trying to keep himself from getting hurt... again. On the outside, Jag is a happy, stable, and confident man. He owns a thriving business and spends his days living life the way he wants. But underneath the façade, Jag is miserable. His tragic past haunts him. He blames himself for what happened, and it’s a daily battle to keep the guilt and sadness hidden.
When Jag meets Ellis, he feels something other than numbness for the first time in years. The only thing he wants is to care for Ellis, but Ellis is a closed book and refuses to let him in. Jag is determined to show Ellis that he won’t give up so easily. Can both men find each other through the wreckage of their past.
Finding Support is a steamy, m/m romance where two men fight against themselves to find the love and support they deserve.

Reading 'Finding Support' reminds me how important it is to represent mental health realistically in romance stories, especially within the LGBTQ+ community. The characters’ vulnerabilities and emotional walls make the story feel authentic and relatable. Small towns often come with tight-knit communities but can also bring judgment or isolation, which adds layers to Ellis and Jagger’s experience. Mental health representation (#mentalhealthrep) in romance novels like this helps break stigma and opens conversations about past trauma, guilt, and the fear of being vulnerable. The dynamic between Ellis, who has low self-worth, and Jagger, who carries deep guilt, is a powerful look at how two people can struggle yet support each other through healing. I also appreciate how the story balances steamy moments with emotional depth, making the characters truly multidimensional rather than just fitting into typical MM romance tropes. It’s refreshing to see a narrative that embraces imperfect, flawed characters finding real support and love beyond surface connections. Moreover, the novel’s setting in a small town brings a cozy, intimate atmosphere that contrasts with the characters’ internal battles, emphasizing the theme of finding solace and support in unexpected places. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in gay romance, mental health themes, and heartfelt storytelling.
