Hello, everybody! I’m Alex Whitehall, and I’m here today touring for my contemporary m/m romance, Hard Truths, which is about Isaac and Logan’s whirlwind romance, as well as coming out and what family means. But it’s not all angst and drama. In fact, I hope you’ll have as much fun watching these guys fool around as I had making them be goofs.
Title: Hard Truths by Alex Whitehall
Genre: Contemporary, Gay, Romance
Length: 248 pages/Word Count: 65,600
Summary:
He can’t have the family he wants, but he may get the love he deserves.
Isaac didn’t expect to find love at his family’s Christmas dinner, but that was before he met his sister’s new fake boyfriend. Tall, muscular, and tattooed, Logan is what Isaac would love in a partner—and also everything his parents would hate in one. Not that they know Isaac’s gay.
That doesn’t stop him from dating Logan—unbeknownst to his parents, and with his sister’s approval after she fake dumps him. The pair dive into a whirlwind romance of motorcycle rides, cheesy puns, and hot sex. They meet each other’s friends and fill their time with happiness and laughter. It’s all perfect.
Until Isaac suggests they move in together, and Logan asks Isaac to come out to his parents. Isaac wants to, but he’s scared; he doesn’t want to lose his family. Unfortunately, he can’t see that his real family has been right beside him all along.

Author Bio
If there are two types of people in the world, Alex Whitehall probably isn’t one of them, despite being a person. Their favorite pastimes include reading, horseback riding, sleeping, watching geek-tastic television, knitting, eating, and running. And wasting time on the internet. And spending glorious evenings laughing with friends.
While Alex prefers sleeping over doing anything else (except maybe eating), sometimes they emerge from the cave to be social and to hunt for food at the local market. They can be found blogging, reading, and tending after their aloe plants.

The order will be shipped directly from the buyer, so you have to be willing to share your physical address with the buyer and myself. You can choose either size and any of the fox images.

For international readers, indicate as such and you’ll have a chance to win a digital copy of your choice from my backlist. Contest closes October 6. Thanks for following the tour, and don’t forget to leave your contact info!
Sounds great, Alex! Thank you for the chance

OMGOOOOSH! At first glance, I thought the cover model was Adam Levine!!! Can you tell, I love the cover?! I can’t wait to read how the two hotties act like goofs! It sure is hard when family doesn’t accept you for you, so I.m ready to learn all about their accepting new family!! snsvwtime at aol dot com BTW, what does the fox say?!
I’m glad you love the cover (and now that you mentioned about the model…I can’t unsee it)! I hope you enjoy the story 🙂 Also, look up the sounds foxes make during mating season…they sound like the horrified screams of children. I make that noise anytime someone asks “What does the fox say?” :DD
