Better Than People Roan Parrish

Accomplished LGBTQ+ author Roan Parrish delivers an on-trend, heartwarming pet-filled male/male romance.

Simon Burke has always preferred animals to people. When the countdown to adopting his own dog is unexpectedly put on hold, Simon turns to the PetShare app to find the fluffy TLC he's been missing. Meeting a grumpy children's book illustrator who needs a dogwalker isn't easy on his anxiety, but his menagerie is just what Simon needs.

Four dogs, three cats and counting. Jack Matheson's pack of rescue pets is the only company he needs. But when a bad fall leaves him with a broken leg, Jack is forced to admit he needs help. That the help comes in the form of the most beautiful man he's ever seen is a complicated, glorious surprise.

Being with Jack--talking, waking, making out--is a gamechanger for Simon. And Simon's company certainly...eases the pain of recovery for Jack. But making a real relationship work once Jack's cast comes off will mean compromise, understanding and a lot of love.
