Room for Recovery (Hearts and Health Book 4) Kindle Edition

by DJ Jamison (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 250 ratings
Beau James isn't out, but he's not fooling anyone. When he's cornered by two bullies, he's rescued by none other than the broody Wade Ritter, who he's crushed on from afar. Despite their family connection, Wade has resisted all of Beau's attempts at friendship -- until now. His protective streak gives Beau an opportunity to get past Wade's prickly exterior. Wade considers Beau to be a quasi-cousin. He's been careful to keep Beau in that box because he is too tempting to a gay boy determined to remain in the closet after his coming out went all wrong. But when Wade sees bullies harassing Beau, he offers to help. Little does he know this small crack in the walls around his heart is the opening Beau needs to move in and change Wade's life.After years off the rails, Wade realizes there's room for recovery. If he can face hard truths about his sexuality and love himself, he might be able to love Beau too.Room for Recovery is part of the Hearts and Health series. It contains cameo appearances by other characters in the series, but it can be read as a standalone.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Slow burn, sweet story
    Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018

    This is the fourth book in the Hearts and Health series. This book features Beau and Wade. Beau does something at a party that pretty much guarantees everyone knows he gay. When Wade was fourteen he admitted to his father that he was gay. His father wasn't very receptive, and when he committed suicide the next day Wade was devastated and thought it was his fault. He buried his feelings deep.

    Beau is being bullied, and when he is attacked, Wade comes to his rescue. Wade appoints himself Beau's protector. He's had feelings for Beau for years but knows he can't ever admit it. In his second senior year, in danger of failing again, he appoints Beau his tutor. They grow close, both knowing that what they are feeling probably doesn't have a chance to succeed but unable to ignore it. Probable heartbreak in their future.

    I've enjoyed the books in this series, all the characters are well done but Beau and Wade really stand out. The sexual relationship between these men (they are over eighteen) is beautiful, sweet, and hot. If you want a book with a slow burn and memorable main and secondary characters, this is the book you want to read.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Wade and Beau
    Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2024

    Firstly, the author recommended this book at the end of their Marital Bliss series (actually…the end of “Faking a Groom” which is the last book…so, same diff). But I’m glad I started reading the entire series from the beginning. Otherwise, I couldn’t have cultivated a vested interest in the boy who delighted in his uncle and surrogate father’s love story, and the boy whose heart was far too heavy for his young mind and body. While reading Book 3, I hoped that those two would each find happy endings, but thought that they were too young to be part of this series. But the author managed the age progression and their stories beautifully.

    Secondly, the author handled the transition from Αdult Contemporary to Young Adult quite well. Too often, authors try so hard to recapture the innocence and idealism of first crushes that the reader (at least THIS reader) walks away wondering how much time they spend complaining that “these daggum kids” can’t drive because they’re making videos for “MyFace” and “The TicTac” instead of actually remembering what it felt like to BE in HS (this is usually most evident in movies and TV shows).

    Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2021

    I'm kind of a sucker for the high school romance and the coming out trope. High school is such a brutal time for teens - growing up and facing the future - and when you add in the stress of figuring out your sexuality ... it's even harder. Peer pressure and parental expectations can all be overwhelming and I think what I love about books like these is that they show the strength of their teenage characters, and the foundation that real love can be.
    I've read a couple of books by DJ Jamison but this is definitely my favorite so far. I really felt the struggle that the main characters go through and was so happy that they got their HEA. Although both characters were 18 when the story took place, they didn't actually have sex until after graduation - which kind of felt real and nice. I very much enjoyed this book and definitely recommend it!

    This was such an emotional book. Coming to terms with his sexuality was so hard for Wade. His internal demons always won the battle.
    Beau was much simpler, even though he faced torment to the point of being beaten in a sexual hate crime.
    Wade and Beau's journey was not a happy one, but Wade was lucky to have Beau. Beau brought out the good in him.
    When things finally came to the surface, as explosive as it was, Wade was so lucky to have such a loving family. Ireally didn't like Maggie and hated Twyla. She is wasn't very supportive of Beau, but then she wasn't great with Xavier. She reflects her poor decisions on everyone and everything. Her bitterness is hard to read all the time. She doesn't even try to be a better person. Thankfully Gran stepped in to call her on issues.
    Was glad in the end that Wade dealt with his internal issues even though he still struggled with things, he didn't let it come between them. Hope to hear more about them as side characters in future books.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and Angsty Young Love :)
    Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2018
    I have to admit that I don't really remember either of these guys from the previous books (I believe it said somewhere that they had made appearances.) Granted these books I tend to read pretty far apart from each other. The only one I really remember much of anything from is book 2. But that's not to say it's because I didn't like them very much. I actually really, really love this series. It's like a great blend of serious, heart wrenching at times, funny, sweet, frustrating...I mean I could keep going on and on.

    I feel like I get that from all of DJ Jamison's books. I've gotten to the point where I don't even read what it's about I just see the name and load it on my kindle because I have no doubt I will highly enjoy it. Especially this Hearts and Health series.

    I thought the young love aspect of this book. I absolutely adored Beau. He was so sweet and precious I just wanted to snatch him up and shield him from the world. Wade I did like but he could be extremely frustrating at times. Not necessarily in a bad way. Just in a I-really-want-to-smack-him-upside-the-head way. Yanno... as you do.

    I enjoyed seeing characters from past books and watching this young love unfold.

    Can't wait for more!

    I really love this series, this book was no exception. Only person I wasn't a fan of was Twyla, once she learned about his traumatic experience she didn't seem to care about or understand his struggles at all.
