The Big Love series follows a romantic relationship across two books. Big Love (2016) introduces the central couple and their initial connection, while Bigger Love (2018) picks up the story and tests the relationship with new challenges. Reed writes the romance with emotional honesty, avoiding both saccharine sweetness and unnecessary cynicism.
The series is a good example of Reed’s ability to write gay romance that feels grounded and real. The characters have flaws and make mistakes, and the books earn their happy moments rather than handing them out easily.
