Change for You (Oahu Lovers Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Crystal Lacy (Author), Eli Dobromylskyj (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 230 ratings
Silver fox Stephen Webb doesn’t mean to start a workplace fling with the cute new intern.


Stephen has a pivotal tax season ahead of him and he doesn't have time for distractions. At least that's what he thinks—until Minoru "Max" Kamigawa walks into his life and disrupts all his plans.

Stephen's been hurt before, and keeping Max at arms-length is the smart choice. But how can he do that when Max keeps taking down all his defenses?

A May-December MM romance with a HEA and no cliffhangers set in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Crystal Lacy lives with her loving family in Hawaii, where it is always either drizzling or sunny and never snows—which is a shame, because she prefers being cold to being damp and hot unless it’s for Very Good Reasons. She writes queer romance, mainly m/m, but also some f/f stuff as well. She has aspirations to one day write a YA novel about cats.

Crystal is also a long-time fangirl and writes slash fan fiction for the Harry Potter and NBC Hannibal fandoms under the name crystalusagi. She has a deep love for fandom culture, and can be frequently spotted on Twitter and Tumblr reblogging pretty fan art.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet age gap - boss/intern romance
    Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Rounded up from 4.5.
    I'll start with my criticism first - there's a lot of food in this book. A lot of time is spent eating, going to eat, getting back from eating, preparing food, etc., with attention to details. That's fine, but at times it was a bit like food porn, since there was nothing in the dialogue or exposition to equate food with love and family.
    But beyond that, I was hooked from the first page, where it took a couple of chapters for Brave For You to get interesting. The chemistry between Max and Stephen sizzles, but Crystal Lacy makes sure early on to show that their connection is more than just sexual attraction.
    I appreciated that the ex, who was built up as such a bad guy, was really just a guy who was hurt and lonely and made a bad decision, and he's a well-rounded character in his own right. I'd be shocked not to see Derek get his HEA.
    I was up way too late last night with this book so I'm rambling, but I'll close by saying that this book is written with a fine-point pen, not a broad-tip marker. It's nuanced, yet sexy and sweet. I recommend it!

    I always enjoy Crystal Lacy’s writing. This is no exception. The characters are believable and it’s easy to imagine how a young intern could fall for his older boss. The story has all of the expected ups and downs and is complicated by a cheating ex. Enjoyable continuation to the series; though I fell more in love with Nate and Andrew’s story from book one. Read them both and decide for yourself!

    I so enjoyed the first book I had no hesitation in buying and reading this one. It is a long book and there were times I had to put it down and do something else, but there was never a point where I wanted to give up. I loved the characters and getting to know them and now having reached the end I’ve realised that I was frustrated for no good reason. All the characters were actually real life characters and not a romanticised short order version. Thank you Crystal for taking me on this journey. I’ll now read the next book in the series.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, frustrating, sexy. The story was well-written and a joy to read.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2018
    Format: Kindle
    The plans you make and the people you love don't always mix. In Stephen's case, his whole life has revolved around his ambition. It has cost him love and companionship in the past and he's not holding out hope of that ever changing. In Max's case, his dreams and his reality are the two elements that don't seem to mix. When he meets Stephen he's attracted for sure, but there's something deeper that calls to him. As both men navigate the waters of professionalism, desire, and ambition they'll find that change and compromise are what will win them their HEA...but only if they have the courage and determination to do so.

    Though we do get an introduction of Stephen in Brave for You we're not given much. Diving deep right from the get-go from Max's perspective and office gossip the picture that's painted is of a lonely, hard, cold man who has blinders that keep him oblivious to anything and anyone that would distract him from his professional aspirations. Reality however, shows us a much different man. He's tired, he's vulnerable, he's scared. He's also wickedly smart, driven, and controlled. And Max sees it all, wants it all.

    Max is young, definitely, but he's not naive or unaware of the personal ramifications of his romantic interest in Stephen. What he wants is everything that Stephen is...well, maybe a little more than that. But it's that little more that throws a wrench or two in the whole thing. The things he wants aren't unreasonable, but the way he goes about getting them shows his youth and inexperience with romantic hardship. I do completely appreciate the way he doesn't actually give up ever. He tries and tries and tries and, even heart-sore, he holds out hope for Stephen to do the trying.

    I really enjoyed their resolution. Stephen's groveling was perfect for their dynamic. It was heartfelt, honest, earnest, and right for the type of future that was most likely between the men. For all of Max's lightness and perseverance in the face of Stephen's dumb-head moments, it was actually Stephen that captured my interest the most. His complexities were believable as well as frustrating and it was his growth, his change, his complete evolution that made the story interesting, made it all work. Even though I can't say I liked Derek's moments, I did feel that the closure both he and Stephen got was necessary for all the pieces in Stephen's plan to fall into place in his mind before he could make things right with Max.

    Staying true to her writing style, the descriptions in the story were spot-on but were much more to-the-point and focused here in Change for You than in Brave for You. The characters were vivid and know-able, the food choices were perfection and really apropos for Max's family, and the internal struggles for each character were well-written and in sync with the story's flow and end goal. Such a great read! And with the next book's MC subtly and expertly introduced, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on Ready for You this winter.

    Office romance omniscient point of view
    Standalone, second in series but doesn’t even have cross over characters til epilogue.
    Tax principal Stephen is still recovering from a bad breakup when he meets aspiring musician and tax intern Max. Unfortunately, Max works for him and is half his age. Max is highly attracted to his boss and doesn’t see any conflicts with pursuing it.
    Loved the board game references. Enjoyed the secondary characters. Steamy scenes. Appreciated that Stephen recognizes the work issues with their relationship. It was a little cringe worthy at times but I did just complete harassment compliance training the day I started reading it. Max seemed a little naive at times, Stephen was a more fully developed character. Overall, enjoyed it!

    Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2018

    Gorgeously, sensitively written MM romance with a significant age-gap. It’s not the age-gap that’s the main problem, though. It’s the older man’s attitude and conviction that he’s not worth staying for. Everything is gently hinted at, nothing is anvil pounded, and roles in the relationship aren’t exactly what you’d expect, which was terrific. And even the ex-boyfriend isn’t what or who you’d expect.
